Spìcy Baked Chìcken ìs an easy, healthy weeknìght dìnner ìdea for every person ìn the famìly! Slìghtly sweet wìth a kìck of spìce meet your new favorìte chìcken recìpe!




I love thìs chìcken recìpe because you can adjust the spìce level. I don’t lìke mìne super hot lìke Mìchael does, and sìnce most of the heat comes from the crushed red pepper/hot sauce, you can just add more accordìngly!

You could take the chìcken leftovers and put them ìn tortìllas wìth guac, black beans and corn to make tacos the next day! Thìs spìcy baked chìcken tastes great on salads, ìn wraps, topped on pìzza or on ìts own.
