Oven Fried Chicken

By srumbel

Well, I can 'fry' chicken up a new way.
{Even though I must say there is nothing better than my Grandma's fried chicken. Cooked up in a cast iron skillet...super crispy on the outside, but juicy inside, nice and salty...served up with some cornbread or biscuits...yummm. I sure do miss her!}

Ingredients

• 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken (I used breast and thigh)
• buttermilk (or milk with a tablespoon of vinegar added), enough to cover chicken
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup flour
• 1 tablespoon seasoned salt (I used Mrs. Dash original blend)
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 3/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or also to taste)

Preparation

Step 1

*Soak chicken in buttermilk for 20 to 30 minutes.
*Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
*While oven is preheating, melt butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish in the oven. For extra flavor, let your butter brown (but not burn)
*Place flour, seasoned salt, paprika, pepper, and salt into a gallon size plastic baggie.
*After chicken has soaked 20-30 minutes, place chicken pieces into plastic baggie with flour mixture. Allow excess milk to drip off chicken before adding to bag.
*Place in baking dish with browned butter, and bake for 20 minutes. Flip and bake for another 20 minutes, or until done. (cooking time will depend on the size of your chicken pieces)
