We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

  • Step 2: Position oven rack to lowest position.

  • Step 3: Grease a 13 x 9-in baking dish

  • Step 4: In a shallow bowl combine all coating mixture.

  • Step 5: Place the eggs and milk into a bowl then whisk until very well combined. (make sure the bowl is large enough so that the egg/milk mixture covers the chicken pieces).

  • Step 6: Prepare a rack to put the coated chicken in while sitting out on the counter.

  • Step 7: Dip the chicken into the egg/milk mixture to coat well, allowing all excess to drip off, then roll the pieces completely into the breading mixture. Transfer chicken onto the rack and allow to sit for 15-20 minutes.

  • Step 8: Repeat again a second time, dipping lightly into the eggs then roll again into the breading mixture.

  • Step 9: Place the butter into the baking dish and place into the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until sizzling and hot. Carefully remove hot baking dish then place the coated chicken pieces in skin-side down into the hot butter.

  • Step 10: Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.

  • Step 11: Remove from oven, turn the chicken pieces skin-side up and return to oven for another 20 to 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked completely (since every oven cooks at a different rate cooking time will vary).
