Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the Roasting Pan: Place the butter in a large shallow roasting pan and melt it in the preheated oven. Once melted, remove the pan from the oven and set it aside.

Coat Chicken Pieces: Dip each chicken piece into the buttermilk and egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated. Then, dredge each piece in the flour and nut mixture, ensuring an even coating.
-
Double Dipping (Optional): For extra crispy coating, you can double dip the chicken pieces by dipping them again into the buttermilk and egg mixture followed by the flour and nut mixture.
-
Arrange in Roasting Pan: Place each coated chicken piece in the melted butter in the roasting pan, turning each piece to coat it with butter. Arrange the chicken pieces skin side up in the pan.
-
Add Pecan Halves: Sprinkle the pecan halves over the chicken pieces in the roasting pan.

Bake: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, with a deep color.
