Ingredients for Amish Baked Chicken

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • Pepper
  • Dry Mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Broiler Chickens
  • 1/4 cup butter

How to Make Amish Baked Chicken

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large plastic bag, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  3. Add 2 lbs of cut-up chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, breasts) to the bag and shake until evenly coated.
  4. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  5. Arrange the chicken pieces in the prepared pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. If necessary, use two pans.
  6. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  7. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
