Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  1. Mix the Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup of the all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, the poultry seasoning, and the pepper.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Pat the chicken pieces dry and coat them thoroughly with the seasoned flour mixture.
  3. Brown the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides until golden.

Step 2: Bake the Chicken

  1. Arrange in a Baking Pan: Transfer the browned chicken pieces to a 13-by-9-inch baking pan.
  2. First Bake: Preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Bake the chicken for 30 minutes.

Step 3: Make the Batter

  1. Optional Gravy: If you’d like to serve with gravy, pour off the pan drippings into a saucepan, reserve them, and keep warm.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a mixing bowl or electric mixer, combine the remaining all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and baking powder. Add the eggs, milk, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Beat the mixture until smooth and free of lumps.

Step 4: Final Assembly and Bake

  1. Pour Batter Over Chicken: Remove the chicken from the oven and pour the batter evenly over the pieces.
  2. Final Bake: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until the batter is puffed and golden brown.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Plate and Enjoy: Serve the Yorkshire Chicken hot, either with the reserved gravy or as is for a comforting and flavorful dish.

Tips for Success

  • For extra crispiness in the batter, ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking.
  • To enhance the flavor of the gravy, deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine or chicken broth before thickening.
  • Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
