- Remove & turn each piece of chicken over so they are skin side up and then sprinkle with more seasonings.

Notes
***NOTE: Due to some safety concerns with baking glass cookware, please use a metal, Corningware or Enameled Cast Iron baking dish.
***If you want the flavors of the seasonings to be more pronounced - I recommend just coating the chicken in the flour & then sprinkling the seasonings on after you transfer the chicken to the pan - reserving some of the seasonings to sprinkle on again once you flip the chicken over.
