Oven Friend Chicken

I came across this recipe on Pinterest recently. I have a had a lot of "pinterest fails" recently, but was hopeful for this recipe. I LOVE friend chicken. It is my most favorite meal my mom makes. It is also the one meal the scares me to make. I have never tried to fry it. Then I found this recipe. It was so good. It wasn't quite the same. But it was really easy, less messy and delicious!

Oven Fried Chicken

2-3 chicken breast halves, cut into strips or large pieces

2 cups buttermilk

1 Tbl + 1/2 tsp Season All Salt

3/4 tsp pepper

1 cup Flour

1 Tbl Paprika

1/2 cup butter

Place chicken strips in a large Ziploc bag or container and cover with buttermilk. Seal bag tightly (squeezing out all the air) and allow chicken to soak for at LEAST an hour (several hours is best).

In a shallow bowl or pie pan, combine seasoning salt, pepper, flour, and paprika. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray the bottom of a 9x13 pan with cooking spray then cut up the butter into pieces and place around the bottom of the pan. Place the pan in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until the butter is melted and HOT. Remove from oven and spread melted butter around the bottom of the pan.

Shake excess buttermilk off of chicken and completely coat each piece with the seasoning mix.

Carefully place each piece of chicken in the pan. Cook for 15 min. Turn each piece of chicken and continue cooking for 15-20 more minutes, or until cooked through.
