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)

Steps

1

Heat oven to 425°F. Melt butter in 13×9-inch (3-quart) baking dish, in oven.
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

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).

Recipe Tips

tip 1

It does not take long to melt butter in a hot oven. Be sure to watch closely, and remove when butter has melted.
tip 2

The high oven temperature (425°F) not only browns up the chicken well, but it lets you get a chicken supper on the table in an hour.
tip 3

Because the baking mix has some fat in it and you’re using skin-on chicken for this Oven-Baked Chicken recipe, you don’t need to add a lot of additional fat to crisp up and brown the bird as it bakes.
tip 4

For an extra delicious Oven-Baked Chicken, stir some dried herbs or a barbecue spice blend into the baking mix before coating the chicken.
tip 5

If you do roast vegetables at the same time, adjust the oven racks so everything fits into the oven without being crowded. Be sure to check the temperature of the baked chicken since it may take a little longer with a crowded oven.
