Ingredients
Instructions
- Line a 9 x 13-inch pan with foil.
- Spread vegetable oil over the bottom of the pan.
- Place Bisquick, salt, and curry powder in a plastic bag and shake to combine.
- Place chicken parts skin side down in the prepared pan.
- Shake chicken parts in the plastic bag with dry ingredients until coated.
- Bake at 400° for 20 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350° and continue baking for 40 minutes.
- Turn chicken halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or paprika to the Bisquick mixture. If you don’t have curry powder, try a mix of turmeric and cumin as a substitute. Ensure the chicken pieces are evenly coated for a crispy texture, and don't overcrowd the pan to allow proper baking. This method is also great for making a quick 'Crock-Pot' Gumbo variant by adjusting the spices.
Serving Suggestions
This Bisquick Chicken pairs beautifully with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. Serve it alongside mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious drippings. For a complete dinner, consider offering a light soup, like Ham 'N Broccoli Soup, as a starter. Don't forget to garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed through. This will help retain its crispiness, making it just as enjoyable as when it was first baked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use boneless chicken for this recipe?
Yes, boneless chicken can be used, but adjust the cooking time as it may cook faster. Aim for about 25-30 minutes at 350°F, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
What can I substitute for Bisquick?
If you don't have Bisquick, you can make a homemade version using 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will provide a similar texture and flavor for your chicken.
Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the chicken and coat it with the dry mixture a few hours in advance. Store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake. This allows the chicken to absorb more flavors, making it even tastier.
