Chef's Tip

Baking powder (1 tbsp mixed into the seasoning) can make the skin extra crispy before adding the sauce. For the richest flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan rather than pre-shredded cheese. The contrast between crispy skin and silky garlic-Parmesan sauce is what makes this dish irresistible. 🍗🧄🧀✨
