Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Shake and Bake Chicken.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 450°F (230°C) and gather all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
Step 2
In a resealable plastic bag, mix together the flour, salt, paprika, sage, and black pepper.
Step 3
Once combined, add your chicken pieces to the bag, seal it tightly, and give it a good shake until each piece is beautifully coated in the flavorful flour mixture.
Step 4
Next, place a 9x13-inch baking dish in the preheated oven and melt some butter in it—this will create a deliciously rich base for your chicken.
Step 5
Once the butter is melted and bubbling, carefully arrange the coated chicken pieces in the dish, making sure the skin side is facing down.
Step 6
Bake the chicken for about 20 minutes, allowing it to develop a lovely golden color.
Step 7
After the first 20 minutes, gently flip the chicken pieces over and continue baking until they are fully cooked and the juices run clear, which should take another 20 minutes or so.
Step 8
To ensure perfection, check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using an instant-read thermometer.
Step 9
Once done, serve your mouthwatering chicken hot and savor every bite of this delightful meal!.
