Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- While the oven is heating we can prepare the chicken. Cut them to the desired size, or alternatively just leave them whole, as we will be finishing them off in the oven and they will be fully cooked through by the end.
- In a bowl combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, pepper, salt and mix them so all the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Coat the chicken in the flour and seasoning mixture, ensure it's completely covered, then set aside on a plate.
- Using a large skillet heat the olive oil on medium-high heat.
- Once up to temperature, fry the chicken/flour combination for 3 minutes per side, the color should be a nice golden brown.
- Once fried, cover the chicken with chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, and sage.
- Place the skillet in the oven and cook for 10 more minutes to ensure the center is adequately cooked. This also cooks the herbs and combines them with the outer crust to give that delicious texture and finish. Enjoy your delicious Herb Crusted Chicken!
