Mom's Oven Fried Chicken

6 servings

Ingredients

2 - 3 lbs cut-up chicken (all parts of the chicken) or chicken tenders
1/3 cup flour
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/3 cup butter

Directions

Preheat oven 425F

In a shallow baking pan (I use a cookie sheet), place butter and melt in the oven as it is preheating. Being careful to not burn the butter.

Wash and dry chicken.

Combine flour and seasonings in a gallon plastic, shake well to combine ingredients. Place 2 or 3 pieces of chicken at a time in the plastic bag and shake to coat.

When butter is melted, carefully make sure the butter covers the entire bottom of the pan. Arrange chicken in a single layer (skin side down if it has skin). Bake uncovered, 30 minutes; turn chicken over w/tongs (do not pierce chicken) and bake an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown.
