This recipe offers a delightful twist on classic oven-fried chicken, ensuring a crispy and flavorful result that everyone will love.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy texture.
Place the butter in a 9x13 baking dish and let it melt in the oven.
Keep an eye on the butter to prevent it from browning too much.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
Dip each chicken piece in milk, then coat it completely with the flour mixture.
Shake off any excess flour for a lighter coating.
Arrange the chicken pieces skin-side down in the melted butter in the baking dish.
Ensure the pieces are not overcrowded for even cooking.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
Check halfway through to ensure even browning.
Turn the chicken pieces over and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
Turning the chicken ensures both sides are crispy.
Serve the chicken hot with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh herbs for an added touch of flavor.
