Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Use 2 to 3 pounds of cut up chicken - skin on. Legs and thighs work best and breasts are OK.

2. 2

   The above mix makes a lot! Start with a tablespoon or 2 and increase to coat the chicken. Toss in a gallon bag to cover.

3. 3

   Make sure that the chicken is moist but NOT WET. Frozen chicken tends to be wet. Dry it with paper towels before shaking it.

4. 4

   So what is the extra secret? Hand rub the chicken pieces with cheap yellow mustard before shaking them in the above mix. The mustard does not add a mustard taste.

5. 5

   20 minutes per pound at 375 degrees or just at high for a Nu-Wave.
