Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  5. Sprinkle the lemon pepper seasoning over the chicken and toss until coated.
  6. Transfer the chicken to the baking dish in a single layer.
Baking
  1. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
  2. Baste the chicken with the sauce and continue to bake for another 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (165°F/74°C).
  3. Broil on high for 2-4 minutes for crispy edges.
  4. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or fresh salad. You can drizzle extra dressing on top for added taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
