This was really good and crispy.

Thank you! This is the recipe (except that we cut up the chicken and left on the skin) that mom made us many times while we were growing up. The crunchy goodness in the corners of the pan was always prized. So much butter! Julia Child would be proud. We are making it tonight for a party, but will have to go mow the lawn with a push mower after to make up for all the calories! (How did they get away with that back when???)

My wife just had our daughter Friday Dec 4th. We are home as of lastnight, Dec 7th. I NEVER cook any chicken besides grill (my favorite) This seems fool-proof! I am making this today for her (She loves chicken) This should be an excellent suprise when she wakes up after her long night up with baby! Thank you!

Congratulations, Darron! Let us know how it turns out!

This may sound dumb, but, I am just learning how to cook for my son and myself and I get everything EXCEPT, do you add the melted butter to the bottom of the pan BEFORE adding the chicken or add it to the top of the chicken after coating it with the dry mix.

Hi Jerry,

Melt the butter in the empty dish before adding the chicken.

Great basic recipe. I have tried oven fried chicken many times and it never turned out crispy. I did make some changes. I seasoned the flour with salt, pepper, garlic and paprika. I sprayed the spots where I put my boneless skinless chicken breast with "I Can't believe It's Not Butter". Everyone loved it. I will use this recipe again.

My 11 yr old son who is the chef in the family just served this to me and it was wonderful! He changed it, instead of using paprika he used cajun seasoning and it was GREAT!! Will make this again and he added it to his recipe file!!!!

Great recipe... You could easily half the coating recipe for that amount of chicken... For the ultimate crispiness don't crowd the pieces and and make it 25 mins per side for skin on thighs and drumsticks. Yummo!

I just finished this for dinner and was a little disappointed (followed recipe exactly). There wasn't enough flavour! I did like the crispiness of the chicken so I will make it again, with some tweaking.

FANTASTIC... whole family loved it.. will definitely make again!

Hey we tried it and loved it so much that we had it two nights in a row. It made a noncook (I even burn water when I try to boil it) like myself impress my wife!!!

This recipe is awesome! I made it for the 1st time today and it came out so crispy and delicious. I seasoned my chicken and the flour. It was great. My boyfriend and I LOVED it.

This is my new favorite recipe. The kids love it!

I tried this tonight and my husband really liked it and he is usually only a chicken breast lover. He said save this recipe to use again.

Delicious! I used this recipe with 6 chicken legs and they cooked beautifully. Yum!

Love this recipe!
