Instructions
1
Begin by washing the chicken pieces thoroughly and then soak them in a bowl of saltwater for about 20 minutes to enhance the flavor and tenderness.
2
While the chicken is soaking, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
3
In a shallow baking pan, combine the oil and butter. Place the pan in the preheated oven to heat and melt the mixture for about 5 minutes.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, paprika, salt, seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to create a uniform seasoning blend.
5
Once the chicken has soaked, remove it from the salt water and pat it dry with paper towels to eliminate excess moisture. Dredge the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure they are fully coated.
6
Carefully take the hot baking pan out of the oven and arrange the chicken pieces in the pan with the skin side down, ensuring they are not crowded to allow for proper cooking.
7
Bake the chicken in the oven for 30 minutes. After the first 30 minutes, turn the chicken so that the skin side is facing up and continue to bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the juices run clear.
8
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a platter. Let the chicken rest for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute and enhance the flavor.
