Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 lbs chicken, cut into pieces
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon sage
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450*F.
  • Mix flour, salt, paprika, sage and pepper together in a bag. Add chicken parts in a bag and shake until well coated.
  • Melt butter/margarine in a 9x13 inch baking dish in the preheated oven. Place chicken in the baking dish skin side down and bake for 20 minutes. Turn pieces and bake another 20 minutes until tender and juices run clear.
  • My Note: I used skinless, boneless chicken breasts because some of my family isn't fond of bone-in chicken. GOOD LUCK with that one kid! This was very good and very easy to adapt to your own tastes by adding whatever spices you like. Next time I will add a dash of cayenne pepper. Will I did have some boneless chicken breasts ?, so I cut the cooking time by half and also used half the butter. I doubled the spices but not the flour as well per all the other kids request it. Chicken was juicy and very good. All the kids raved about it! Quick and easy. Will make again!
  • I've cooked chicken a million different ways. (Slight exageration, maybe.) But, this is the best "fried" chicken ever! I'll never go back to the pan fried again. I cooked it per the recipe, except I doubled the recipe and used a package of six leg quarters. I separated the legs and thighs and had to use two pans. (Quite reasonable at $.69/lb.) The coating was as if it was fried and had a beautiful golden/brownish color. My octogenarian family raved about it as soon as it hit the table. My wife made excellent gravy.The kid's are good with gravy only out of a jar. The flavor was great! This is now my new staple.
  • I used bone in breasts and I tried 1 with the skin on and 1 with the skin off. I liked the one without skin better as it allowed the seasonings to really penetrate the meat. The meat stayed so moist. I doubled all the spices, didnt use sage and added a touch of cayenne pepper. I also added onion powder and garlic powder.

Tips:

  • Use a large ziploc bag to coat the chicken. This will make it easier to evenly coat the chicken with the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Make sure the chicken is dry before coating it. This will help the breadcrumb mixture adhere to the chicken.
  • Shake the chicken in the bag vigorously for several minutes. This will help to evenly coat the chicken with the breadcrumb mixture.
  • If you don't have a ziploc bag, you can use a large bowl to coat the chicken. Just be sure to toss the chicken in the bowl until it is evenly coated.
  • Bake the chicken at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy coating.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Shake and bake chicken is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and crispy chicken dinner that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give shake and bake chicken a try.
