Ingredients
  

  • 1 4-5 lb chicken, cut up into 8 -10 pieces, if half the breast which I do
  • 2-3 cups flour
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375.
    Cut a whole chicken into about 8 pieces, or more if you cut your breast into smaller pieces.  You can buy an already cut up chicken or use your favorite pieces.
  • Combine the flour in a dish and add a little salt and pepper. I always taste the flour because you want enough, but not too much salt, so add a little and check.   Melt 2 sticks of butter in an iron skillet.  Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, then place in the butter in the skillet, turning over to coat. Continue until all pieces have been battered with the butter and flour. 
  • Bake the chicken for 30-45 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature is 165.   Enjoy!
