It's been a while since i've posted since I've been busy and haven't cooked anything exciting. Like one night I bought cereal for breakfast and beef for dinner, and I wanted the cereal so much I ended up having it for dinner. (I made the beef tacos a few days later, in a post to come).
However, last night I made Bisquick baked chicken. It brings back memories of being a little kid and shaking chicken in a bag coating it with Bisquick - it was like a big rattle with raw meat instead of beads. I realize now that shaking chicken in a bag is highly overrated and just coating it side by side in a bowl works just as well and saves a bag.
The coating:
2/3+ cup Original Bisquick
2 teaspoons paprika
1.5 teaspoons salt
.5 teaspoon pepper
1 tsp italian seasoning
The rest:
1 tablespoon butter
3.5 - 4.5 -pound cut-up whole chicken
Preheat oven to 425. Put pan and butter in oven. Mix everything but butter and chicken in a bowl. When butter is melted in pan, remove from oven. Dip chicken in coating and cover very well on both sides. Place in pan, skin side down.
Depending on thickness of chicken, cook for 30-60 minutes. Then flip and cook for an additional 15-30 minutes (until internal temp = 170-180). Basically when the top is nice and crispy.
Serve with brown rice and homemade pickles from your previous growing season (if you don't have these, i guess you could use broccoli, but really the meal would be missing something...so go get a garden and grow too many cucumbers/zucchini and learn how to can veggies... recipe coming this summer).
Camera is out of batteries, but i think i snagged a picture of my tacos before it happened. Just imagine baked chicken.
