Crispy “fried chicken” without the guilt of all that oil, buttermilk, flour and breading? Yes, Please! This recipe is my beyond busy weeknight go-to when I don’t want to deal with takeout. Time saving tip- I have a pre-made container of the rub on hand so I all I have to do is throw in chicken and olive oil.
