Oven Baked Fried Chicken


I have tried several oven baked fried chicken recipes hoping to find one that tastes similar to my Father's fried chicken but none have compared to this recipe. It's very close to fried chicken and I think it tastes like KFC chicken and the best part is that it's baked and not fried.  There isn't any skin so you get to enjoy the taste of the seasoning, instead of removing the skin! 



Place boneless chicken breasts in a bowl of buttermilk or milk. Cover and let soak in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or longer. I left mine in for about six hours.
Mix in a gallon size ziploc or large bowl:
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 T Season All
  • 3/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoon paprika
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut 1/2 stick of butter into a few pieces and place in a 9 x 13 pan. I used aluminum foil to cover the pan and then added the butter or you could melt the butter and then spread around the bottom of the pan. 

Shake excess milk off of chicken and completely coat each piece with the seasoning mix. You can either shake the chicken in the bag, until coated, or dip each piece in the bowl until coated. Place each piece of chicken in the pan.

Cook for 20 minutes and turn each piece of chicken and continue cooking for 20 more minutes or until cooked through.
