  2. Preheat Oven to 350 F
  3. Heat your cast iron skillet over medium heat, add Fat
  4. Lightly brown chicken on all sides
  5. Bake (in the cast iron skillet, uncovered) at 350 F for 30-45 minutes (until chicken is cooked through and skin is crispy)
  6. Remove from oven and let rest 5-10 minutes prior to serving

Notes
If you are making more chicken than will fit in your cast iron skillet, brown in batches and bake on a parchment lined cookie sheet with sides or casserole dish.

Reserve any drippings in your pan to use later as a cooking fat - use to roast vegetables, fry potatoes, etc. It will taste amazing!
