Pro Tips
Place zip-lock bag in mixing bowl prior to filling. This will keep it open and upright while you are filling it with the ingredients.
To guarantee juicy chicken, baste the meat 15-20 minutes through baking with the pan juices.
For crispy skin, turn on the broiler for the last 3 minutes of cooking.
