A flavorful and easy-to-make crispy baked chicken recipe that the whole family will enjoy.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy texture.
Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Drying the chicken helps the coating stick better.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of spices.
Coat each chicken breast evenly with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Press the chicken gently into the mixture for a better coating.
Place the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish.
Ensure the pieces are not touching for even cooking.
Melt the butter and drizzle it over the chicken.
Drizzling butter helps achieve a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, checking after 25 minutes for doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot with your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
