• 6 cover with aluminum foil, then spray foil with non-stick cooking spray, or coat with oil.
• 7 when coating the chicken, use this method to avoid a mess:
• 8 grab a chicken part with your left hand, and place it in the bowl with the dressing in it, then coat the chicken with the dressing.
• 9 then again with your left hand, grab the chicken and shake the excess oil off of it, and place it in the bread crumbs bowl, using the same left hand.
• 10 in the bread crumb bowl:
• 11 grab a small amount of crumbs with your clean right hand and sprinkle them on top of the chicken, then again with your right hand, press the crumbs into the chicken, then flip back and fourth while pressing the crumbs into the chicken.
• 12 with your right hand again, place the chicken into the baking pan, making sure that each piece of chicken doesn't touch each other, or the sides of the pan.
• 13 you do this to permit even browning on all sides of the chicken.
• 14 repeat exact procedure with each chicken part.
• 15 bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, then check next to bone for doneness.

• 17 note: skinning the chicken is not necessary, but if you don't eat the skin, it is recommended.
• 18 if you remove the skin just before eating the chicken, then you remove the delicious italian bread crumbs, and the cheese taste.
