How to Make Amish Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Dredge the chicken pieces (about 2 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and/or breasts) in the flour mixture, ensuring they're evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the chicken skin-side up in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup chicken broth.
  6. Pour the cream mixture evenly over the chicken.
  7. Bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden brown and crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  8. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Spoon the delicious pan gravy over the chicken and your favorite sides.
