Oven Fried Chicken

So this is a simple oven fried chicken recipe of my moms. It's very simple and tasty. I have made it with drumsticks, as the recipe calls for, but this time I did it a little bit different. I'll post the original recipe and then tell you how I did it differently.

Ingredients

1/3 cup vegetable shortening, melted
¼ cup flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp paprika
1/8 tsp black pepper
2 lbs chicken drumsticks washed (3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 3 strips each)

Heat oven to 425. Melt shortening and set aside. Mix dry ingredients in a paper bag. Wash chicken and pat dry. Put 3 or 5 pieces at a time in paper bag and shake to coat chicken with flour mixture. Arrange chicken in a single layer in an ungreased 9x13 baking pan. Drizzle melted shortening on chicken. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until chicken is tender. Serve with ketchup, BBQ sauce or honey.

I think having them in smaller strips makes them pretty kid friendly. You could even make them into smaller bite size nuggets for younger ones. This is also a recipe that would be easy to jazz up. Add an all-purpose seasoner or your preferred seasoning and you could have a garlic chicken or onion chicken or whatever. I haven't done it yet, but I'm sure it would be easy and tasty.
