Ingredients

3 pounds chicken, cut into pieces
0.5 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
0.25 teaspoon sage
0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
0.5 cup butter

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and prepare all of your ingredients for the recipe.
In a resealable plastic bag, combine flour, salt, paprika, sage, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the bag, seal it tightly, and shake until each piece is fully coated with the flour mixture.
Melt the butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish inside the preheated oven. Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the dish with the skin-side facing down, then bake for approximately 20 minutes.
Flip the chicken pieces so the skin-side is up and continue baking until the chicken is cooked through—no longer pink near the bone—and the juices run clear when pierced. This should take about 20 minutes more. A thermometer inserted near the bone should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Serve the shake and bake chicken hot and enjoy your delicious, homemade meal!
