Breaded Baked Chicken

Step 1

In a large roasting pan (or two 9x13 pans), in a 425° oven, melt the butter or margarine.

Step 2

Mix flour, salt, paprika and pepper in a heavy-duty plastic bag; shake chicken pieces in the bag, a few at a time, until evenly coated.

Step 3

In the pan (s), place the chicken, skin side down, in the melted butter; bake 30 minutes.

Step 4

Turn chicken pieces and bake 15 minutes more until pieces are fork-tender.

Step 5

I usually make gravy from the de-greased pan juices, using some or all of the leftover flour and some chicken stock.
