4-H OVEN BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Clean chicken parts, cutting off excess fat. Place each piece in ziplock bag, gently toss to coat each piece. Place in baking dish.
• 2. When all pieces are coated, I melt the butter in a glass measuring cup and pour butter on the chicken. Usually I sprinkle with a bit more pepper
• 3. Bake in a 350 degree oven, uncovered for at least an hour and a half, or until the chicken is golden brown. It's best to spoon the butter on the chicken half way through, basting.
