“This was perfection! I sprayed my tray with oil instead of parchment paper because I was afraid it would catch on fire in the broiler. Crispy, delicious, perfect! Do you think this recipe would work with beef? I found your sesame beef recipe but it’s fried I ” — a cook, 5.0★
“Before making this I noticed people were having an issue with crispiness- so while the chicken was in the oven I brushed them with melted butter & after taking them out before making the sauce I seared them in the pan- perfectly crispy and juicy! Thank you” — a cook, 5.0★
