Note
For a lighter version, you can use Greek yogurt instead of Miracle Whip, though the crust may not brown as deeply.
Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ðF (74ðC) for food safety.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
