  • Place on the middle rack of your toaster oven and cook for 15 minutes.
  • After the first 15 minutes, turn the chicken over, and cook for another 15
  • Your chicken should be about 165℉ internally at this point, so flip them back to skin side up, and turn your oven to broil.

Notes

If you want to make cleanup easy, line your pan with heavy aluminum foil. Once the pan has cooled, simply fold up the foil with the grease in it and dispose.
