1 c. flour
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. paprika
1/2 c. shortening (1/2 butter)
1 cut up chicken

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Mix flour, salt, and pepper and paprika in a plastic bag. Put shortening in 9 x 13 pan and set in oven to melt. Shake 3-4 pieces of chicken at a time in bag. Place chicken (skin side down) in single layer in hot shortening. Bake 30 minutes. Turn skin side up and bake another 30 minutes. Gets nice and crispy and better than frying it.
