I love to serve this with buttered spaetzle, and I sometimes add a sprinkle of paprika on top before baking.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This crispy baked chicken is a comforting and hearty dish. It can be served with buttered spaetzle for a delicious cold-weather dinner as Patricia suggests. Or, serve with mashed potatoes and your favorite veggies. The chicken pieces have a golden brown, toasty, and crispy exterior once baked. Seasoning with Adobo powder, paprika, and poultry seasoning adds a nice flavor. Baking in butter adds even more flavor and richness. This is made with a cut-up chicken, but boneless chicken breasts or chicken thighs can be substituted too.

How To Make crispy baked chicken

Step 1

Mix eggs with seasonings and lemon juice.

Step 2

Add chicken and turn to coat. Let rest in the refrigerator for 15 mins.
Step 3

Mix flour and bread crumbs on a plate.
Step 4

Coat chicken with bread crumb mixture.
Step 5

When done, place it back in the fridge to firm up while the oven preheats to 350 degrees F. I use a rack with a baking sheet beneath.
Step 6

Coat a baking pan with half of the butter.
Step 7

Add the chicken.
Step 8

Pour the remaining butter over the chicken.
Step 9

Bake for 45-60 minutes until juices run clear.
