Oven fried chicken was a family favorite growing up! This was Moms go to recipe when the church or PTA was making a cookbook and everyone loved it! This was Allen’s favorite fried chicken and he would tell everyone about it! It really is delicious.

If you don’t have a cast iron skillet it is well worth the investment. They last for years and they are the perfect skillet for so many recipes! Here’s a link for a good cast iron skillet: https://amzn.to/2Rj.

Perfect for Sunday lunch or any day for that matter, I made it this oven fried chicken this past Sunday with Creamy mashed potatoes and roasted carrots and Brussels sprouts. It is delicious! I made a quick pan gravy with the drippings left after baking and it was crazy good! For the Brussels sprouts and carrots I just placed them on a sheet pan, tossed them with olive oil and salt and pepper, then baked them at 400 degrees until tender.

how to make the recipe

This recipe starts by melting butter in the skillet. Then all purpose flour is seasoned with salt and pepper. You can add onion powder, garlic powder, or paprika if you like. You dredge the chicken in flour, then butter. and place in the skillet. You can double dredge in the flour if you like. That will take more butter, so you may have to melt a little more butter in a sauce pan and pour over the chicken before baking.

This recipe calls for a whole chicken that you cut up; however, it explains you can buy an already cut up or your favorite pieces. I have always bought a whole chicken and cut it up and everyone that cooks a lot should know how to cut up a whole chicken. I am certainly not an expert, but I find a whole chicken is less expensive, and I’m making sure all the pieces came from the same chicken. I do like to buy a chicken that is organic, or one that there are not added hormones that have those huge breast. Here is a quick video of how to cut a whole chicken into 8 pieces: https://foodchannel.com/…/how-cut-whole-chicken-8-pieces.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 4-5 lb chicken, cut up into 8 -10 pieces, if half the breast which I do
  • 2-3 cups flour
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375.
    Cut a whole chicken into about 8 pieces, or more if you cut your breast into smaller pieces.  You can buy an already cut up chicken or use your favorite pieces.
  • Combine the flour in a dish and add a little salt and pepper. I always taste the flour because you want enough, but not too much salt, so add a little and check.   Melt 2 sticks of butter in an iron skillet.  Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, then place in the butter in the skillet, turning over to coat. Continue until all pieces have been battered with the butter and flour. 
  • Bake the chicken for 30-45 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature is 165.   Enjoy!
