Oven-Fried Chicken #4

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 chicken (about 3 pounds), cut into 8 pieces

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Place butter in a 9- x 13-inch baking pan and place it in oven until butter melts.

Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, combine remaining ingredients, except chicken. Coat chicken with flour mixture, then dip it in melted butter to lightly coat. Place chicken, skin side down, on a baking rack and place rack in a baking pan. (This will allow the fat to drip off chicken.)

Bake 30 minutes, turn, bake an additional 15 minutes, or until chicken is fork-tender and no pink remains.
