Step 1

Slice chicken breasts into 5-6 pieces each and thighs into 3-4 pieces each. Place them in a marinating dish or large plastic zipper bag.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, spices, 3/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Cover chicken with marinade. Marinate minimum 1 hour.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line baking sheet with foil. Spray foil with nonstick cooking oil. Place the chicken pieces on the sheet, evenly spaced.

Step 4

Roast chicken in oven for approx 15 min (until cooked through), turning chicken pieces once with tongs halfway through cooking.

Step 5

Take chicken out of the oven and let it cool slightly. Use a sharp knife to slice the meat into small, thin pieces.

Step 6

Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a skillet on the stovetop over medium. Pour half of the chicken into the skillet and saute for 3-4 minutes till the smallest pieces of chicken turn brown and crisp. Repeat with remaining chicken. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
