The secret to the crispy texture of this chicken is its longer cooking time and placement in the oven. To prevent sticking, don’t forget to spray a non-stick pan generously with olive oil cooking spray. The addition of spices and yogurt contributes a zesty tang to this flavorful and nutritious dish.

This recipe uses our Special Reserve Red Chile Powder to give this traditional comfort food a New Mexican twist!
