CHICKEN PEPPERONCINI RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450° degrees. Wash chicken and pat it dry. In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, oregano and red pepper flakes together. Sprinkle half the mixture over the skin side of each piece. In a roasting pan or shallow casserole dish, add oil and place in oven to heat. Add the chicken pieces, skin side down. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning over the top of the pieces.
