Let's make chicken in the oven! If you love takeout fried chicken, you’ll love this crispy, mess-free, oven-baked alternative. The secret to this baked chicken recipe is adding the bird to a baking dish that’s already hot. This ensures the chicken starts cooking immediately and helps create a crispy, crackly skin that’s even better than your takeout favorite.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2/3 cup Bisquick™ Original Pancake & Baking Mix
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 to 3 1/2 lb bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (breasts, drumsticks, thighs)

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 425°F. Melt butter in 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish, in oven.

  2. 2

    In medium bowl, stir together Bisquick™ mix, paprika, salt and pepper; coat chicken. Place skin sides down in dish (dish and butter should be hot).

  3. 3

    Bake 30 minutes; turn chicken. Bake about 15 minutes longer or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest pieces are cut to bone (at least 165°F).
