A delightful twist on classic oven-fried chicken, featuring aromatic herbs and a crispy texture.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Always preheat the oven to ensure even cooking.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
Drying the chicken helps the coating stick better.
In a large resealable bag, combine the flour, rosemary, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
Shake the bag gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
Add the chicken pieces to the bag, seal it, and shake until the chicken is well coated.
Coating the chicken evenly ensures a consistent crust.
Place the butter in a baking dish and melt it in the preheated oven.
Use oven mitts when handling the hot dish.
Arrange the coated chicken pieces in the baking dish, skin side down.
Leave space between the pieces for even cooking.
Bake for 30 minutes, then flip the chicken pieces and bake for another 30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot with your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a vibrant presentation.
