  • Step 6: Heat butter and oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Step 7: Just before browning lightly coat the chicken again into the flour mixture shaking off any excess flour.

  • Step 10: Bake (400 degrees) for 25 minutes.

  • Step 12: After the 25 minutes cooking time remove the chicken from oven and pour the sauce over and around the chicken pieces.
