A recipe I have made over 10 years from the Little Rock UMC cookbook. So EASY! A great Sunday family dish. Note that when made with breasts or thighs, you may need to add more of the water/flour mix for the gravy.

Ingredients

  • 1fryer, cut up
  • salt
  • pepper
  • garlic
  • ⅓ cupflour
  • 1 ½ cupscold water
  • 3 tablespoonsbutter, melted

Directions

  1. 1

    Season chicken with salt, pepper & garlic. Place pieces skin side down, one layer deep in a shallow baking pan lined with foil. Dribble the melted butter over the chicken, distributing well. Close foil tightly. Place in 450°F oven for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is slightly brown.

  2. 2

    While baking, use this time to blend together water & flour until smooth; set aside.

  3. 3

    Remove chicken from oven; tilt pan and blend into the drippings the water/flour mix. Gravy will start to thicken. Stir it around over bottom of pan and turn chicken, then salt & pepper chicken.

  4. 4

    Return to oven and reduce heat to 350°F and bake 45 - 60 minutes.

  5. 5

    Baste once or twice, adding a little boiling water if gravy has cooked down low before chicken is done. serve with rice or mashed potatoes.
