Oven-Fried Chicken recipe

Tomorrow is Butterfly's thirteenth birthday. She has requested this recipe as the main course for her celebratory dinner. Smart girl - this is easy for Mom to make and I love it myself. It's SUPPOSED to be healthier for you than regular fried chicken. You wouldn't know that from the taste - it's on the decadent level.

Oven-Fried Chicken

3-pound broiler-fryer chicken, cut into parts
2/3 c flour
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper

Wash chicken pieces; pat dry; remove skin, if desired.

Combine flour and seasoning in paper bag. Shake 2 to 3 pieces at a time in flour mixture.

Arrange chicken pieces in greased shallow pan in single layer. Pour melted butter or margarine over chicken.

Bake, uncovered, at 350°, for 60 minutes or until chicken is brown and tender.

Makes 4 servings.
