Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together flour and all seasonings in a large bowl.
- Coat each chicken piece thoroughly with the seasoned flour mixture.
- Arrange coated chicken pieces on greased baking pans in a single layer.
- Drizzle salad oil evenly over the coated chicken.
- Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown and cooked through, about 30–35 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra crispy coating, let the coated chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before baking. If you're short on flour, you can substitute with cornstarch for a lighter texture. Experiment with spices like cayenne or onion powder for added flavor. This recipe can also be adapted for baked chicken wings or drumsticks, which may require slight adjustments in cooking time.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the baked chicken with classic sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a hearty meal. It pairs beautifully with Beth'S 'Magic' Chicken Soup for a comforting touch. For a lighter option, consider a fresh salad with a tangy dressing. This versatile dish also complements any grains, like quinoa or rice, making it perfect for a family gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover baked chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. This helps retain the crispiness of the coating. You can also microwave it, but be cautious as it may become soggy.
