Sometimes the southern girl and me comes out and I just get a craving for fried chicken. But I don’t eat a lot of fried food these days. I have a lot of fond memories of my grandmother Whitley’s fried chicken, and all the time she would spend frying up the chicken in her skillet. I love to find easier ways of doing things, and what better way than to fry the chicken up in the oven. So when those cravings hit this is the recipe I throw together. The best part of this recipe is picking at all the crunchy pits that are left in the pan.
Oven Fried Chicken
1 whole chicken; cut into 8 pieces (0r chicken pieces of your choice)
1½ cups flour
2 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon pepper
¼ cup butter; melted
Preheat oven to 425⁰ F. Pour melted butter into a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Mix together flour, paprika, salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
Coat chicken pieces with flour mixture; place in baking pan.
Bake for 25 minutes; turn, and bake for another 25 minutes more.
My Grandmother use to fix this and hers would come out just as brown and soft. When I have tried to fix this it comes out looking just like flour there is maybe just a very, very, lite tan. What am I doing wrong?

ReplyDeleteDid you use enough paprika. It helps to give it that nice color. Try that I hope it turn out right!
