This chicken is crispy, flavorful, simply marvelous. And that's despite the fact that I skinned the chicken pieces; the crust adhered beautifully evenso. Perhaps this could bring the somewhat excessive calorie count down a bit. What I don't get is why the sodium count is so high when there's no added salt. Thanks Chef Regina for an any-season winner!

This is very close to a recipe I'm about to submit. It's delicious!<br/><br/>To see the difference, mine is called Baked Chicken Dijon (a little more dijon, more breadcrumbs, more parmesan, more parsley, fewer other spices.
