Oven Fried Chicken ‘N Biscuits
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 1/2 to 3 lb. frying chicken, cut-up
1 can Pillsbury Refrigerated Country Style or Buttermilk Biscuits
2 tablespoons milk
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic or onion salt.
OVEN 400°
4 to 5 SERVINGS
Melt butter in a 10 inch ovenproof skillet (or a 13×9-inch pan). Combine flour, salt, paprika and pepper in a paper or plastic bag. Add 2 or 3 chicken pieces at a time and shake. Place chicken, skin-side down, in butter. Bake at 400° for 30 minutes. Turn chicken pieces; sprinkle with salt and bake 15 minutes. Move chicken to one side of pan. Dip biscuits in milk and roll in Parmesan cheese and garlic or onion salt mixture; place at other side of pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.
This recipe is just like the oven baked chicken my mother used to make sometimes.The only difference was she didn’t bake the biscuits in the same pan as the chicken.Since I only have to cook for myself, I’ll have to buy a small half a chicken at the store, and a small can of biscuits.
I love reading old cookbooks and cookbooklets. Some of the ones I have date back to the 1920s and 30s.
Great website.
