  2. Put the chicken in a baking dish or bowl, and season generously with Tony’s Spice N’ Herbs Seasoning.
  3. Coat chicken with the chimichurri sauce, rubbing it all in to ensure it is fully covered, even under the skin; cover bowl or baking dish and let marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Once marinating is complete, preheat oven to 400°F.
  5. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and top with a grilling rack. Coat rack with cooking oil spray and place chicken pieces on top.
  6. Bake 40-45 minutes or until juices run clear and skin is crispy.
  7. While chicken is cooking, prepare Tony’s Butter & Herb Rice Dinner Mix according to package instructions.
