Easy baked chicken

Hi everyone

Years ago I found a recipe for a crusted chicken that is baked not deep fried. So good and so easy. I thought it was about time I posted the recipe.

Ingredients

6-8 pieces of chicken skin on (I like thighs)
1 cup of flour
2 tablespoons of smoked paprika (you can use other paprika if you choose)
1 tablespoon of curry powder
1 tablespoon of garlic salt
2 teaspoons of castor sugar
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional)
150gm of butter melted

Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius. 

Place all the dry ingredients in a jar with airtight lid and shake to mix.

Brush the chicken pieces all over with the butter and place on a greaseproof paper skin down in a roasting or baking dish. Grab a fine sieve and pour some of the dry ingredient mix into it. Shake over the chicken to coat and then turn the cicken over and coat the other side so completely coated. 

Place in the oven and bake until cooked (usually 30-45 mins depending on the size of the piece of chicken). Turn the piece over for the last 15 mins of cooking.

Pull out and enjoy with a crisp green salad or in winter steamed vege and cauli mash.
