Description

This copycat chicken recipe delivers the crispy, savory satisfaction of a big bucket meal right in your own kitchen. Using a blend of self-rising flour and classic spices like paprika and Italian seasoning, the coating becomes incredibly crunchy while the chicken stays juicy inside. Baking instead of frying makes this a slightly lighter option without sacrificing that addictive texture. Perfect for family dinners, game day parties, or anytime you crave comfort food. The secret is in the double-coating technique, ensuring every bite has that perfect crunch. Serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or coleslaw for a complete meal that brings home-style flavor to your table.

  2. Mix self-rising flour, paprika, dry Italian seasoning, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Place some of the dry flour mixture into a large resealable plastic bag.
  4. Add chicken pieces to the bag and shake vigorously to coat evenly.
  5. Remove chicken and repeat the coating process with remaining flour mixture for a thicker crust.
  6. Melt butter in a baking dish or on a baking sheet.
  7. Arrange coated chicken pieces in the melted butter.
  8. Bake for 1 hour or until chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

Note

For extra crispiness, place chicken on a wire rack set over a baking sheet instead of directly in a dish.

Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ðF (74ðC) before serving.

You can substitute self-rising flour with all-purpose flour plus baking powder and salt if needed.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in oven to maintain crispiness.
