How to Make Amish Baked Fried Chicken

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 cup milk and 2 large eggs.
3. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup cracker crumbs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
4. Dip each chicken piece (about 2 lbs total, cut into 8 pieces) into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
5. Dredge the chicken in the cracker crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Use a spoon to fully coat each piece.
6. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a heavy cast iron skillet (or oven-safe skillet) over medium-high heat.
7. Carefully place the chicken pieces in the skillet, browning well on both sides for about 2-3 minutes per side.
8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Cover the skillet with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 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).
