"I got the idea for this chicken from another recipe, but I have added more spice to give it a kick. This will work with any pieces of chicken, but I use it for legs and thighs."

Oh my these were so crispy and flavourful! I made the ranch dressing, cajun and italian seasonings and left out the salt. Quick and easy to put together. I used chicken thighs and baked them for the said time. DH asked for them again soon! Thanks Dissie for sharing!

Delicious chicken coat with a perfect amount of bite!! made both legs and thighs for packed lunches for our visiting grandkids. Not only is it very tasty but the coating amounts of ingredients are perfect, exactly the right amount, it was soo nice not to have leftover coating to throw out!! also the bake time was right on, perfectly cooked, crisp on the outside and juicy and succulent on the inside. Thanks for posting this "go to" recipe!!
