Yummy Baked Chicken (healthy too!)

Yummy Baked Chicken (healthy too!) is so tender and juicy.

I really like chicken and I especially love fried chicken!

So when I find a recipe that tastes almost as good…I want to share it.

No, it does not replace that wonderful crispy chicken cooked in lard that I grew up with….but it is a close second.

I will never give up fried chicken…but every now and then I will do a healthier version of it.

This Yummy Baked Chicken is certainly a lot healthier than my wonderful fried chicken.

If you follow my Blog…you will note that I really like chicken thighs and the Captain really likes the chicken breasts.

So, for this recipe, I like to use chicken thighs, but you may use chicken breasts…or both!

You may leave the skin on or remove it….it is healthier to remove it…but sometimes I cheat and leave the skin on and then I remove the skin before eating….sometimes. 🙂

And remember to leave the chicken uncovered in the oven or it will not crisp up. (you can also stick it under the broiler for a few minutes if you want the chicken crispier.)

I have seen this recipe made many ways….using mayo or olive oil…but the plain yogurt is very good.

Try it and see if you don’t agree that this recipe is a keeper.

Enjoy!
