I especially like making this with bone in chicken. It makes for very tender moist chicken.

**You could fry this in an Air Fryer to make it a little more healthy. Just do all the steps as directed until the frying part. When ready to fry, heat up air fryer to 400 degrees. Spray tray with cooking spray do that the chicken doesn't stick. Spray all sides of chicken with cooking spray. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping half way through.
