Preheat oven to 375°F.
In shallow bowl, whisk together honey and vinegar. Pour bread crumbs into separated bowl. Set bowls aside. Spread oil over foil-lined baking pan large enough to hold all chicken pieces in one layer. Roll chicken pieces in honey mixture, then in bread crumbs; place in pan.
Bake for 30 minutes*, or until cooked thoroughly.
Makes 5 servings.
*Note: Chicken Test for Doneness (per Washington Fryer Commission) No matter what method you use for cooking chicken, the most accurate test for doneness is a meat thermometer. Since chicken is never ready to be served unless it is done, always be sure it is completely cooked. Whole or bone-in chicken should reach an internal temperature of 180°F, and boneless chicken should be cooked to 165°F.
Other indicators for doneness include: 1) A fork or toothpick can be inserted with ease. 2) The juices should be clear, not pink. 3) Bone joints move easily.
