By carvalhohm2

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 (3- to 4-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted
• 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) butter
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine flour, salt, pepper, and paprika in a shallow bowl. Dredge chicken pieces in flour mixture.

Pour melted butter into a 9- x 13-inch baking pan. Add pieces of floured chicken in a single layer, turning chicken to coat with butter.

Bake skin-side down 30 minutes. While chicken is cooking, make sauce by melting butter in a small pan and beating in honey and lemon juice.

Turn chicken pieces, pour Honey Butter Sauce over, and bake an additional 30 minutes or until tender. Spoon pan juices over chicken and serve.
