How to Make Amish Oven Fried Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a shallow baking pan, combine 1/4 cup vegetable oil and 1/4 cup unsalted butter. Place in the preheated oven until butter is melted and oil is warm (about 5 minutes). Remove from oven and set aside.
  3. In a large paper bag, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  4. Working in batches of 3, dredge each chicken piece in the melted butter and oil mixture. Then, add to the paper bag and shake vigorously to coat evenly.
  5. Place coated chicken pieces on a plate.
  6. Pour off any excess butter and oil from the baking pan.
  7. Arrange chicken pieces in the prepared baking pan, skin-side down.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes.
  9. Flip chicken pieces and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and bubbly and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
