Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Coat a baking sheet with 3 sprays of light vegetable oil.
Wash chicken.
Place chicken in a large bowl with the ice water. Put the yogurt into a medium bowl. Set both bowls aside.
Toss all the breading ingredients into a large, tightly sealed plastic bag; seal; shake well to mix.
Remove 2 pieces of chicken from the ice water. Roll each piece in the yogurt; put the chicken into the plastic bag, reseal, and shake to coat thoroughly.
Transfer breaded chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process until all pieces are breaded. Spray chicken lightly with the vegetable oil.
Place the baking sheet on the bottom oven rack; bake 1 hour, turning the pieces every 20 minutes to allow even browning.
Serve hot or at room temperature.
12 pieces.
**Make sure that both the chicken and the yogurt are very cold, which helps the breading adhere and produce a crisp coating much like that of fried chicken.
