Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and crisps up beautifully. -
Prepare the Baking Dish:
Place a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish into the oven while it preheats. Add the butter to the dish and allow it to melt in the hot oven, which will give the chicken a delicious, buttery flavor and crispy texture. -
Coat the Chicken:
In a separate bowl, combine the Bisquick, salt, paprika, and pepper. Stir the dry ingredients well to ensure they are evenly mixed. Coat each piece of chicken with the Bisquick mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks evenly. -
Bake the Chicken:
Carefully remove the baking dish with the melted butter from the oven. Place the chicken pieces, skin side down, in the hot butter. Bake for 35 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook and brown on the underside. -
Turn and Continue Baking:
After 35 minutes, carefully turn the chicken pieces over to allow the other side to crisp up. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches a golden-brown color and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the crispy, golden chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy a meal that’s both easy and delicious.
