Quick Shake-and-Bake Style Chicken

Quick Shake-and-Bake Style Chicken delivers crisp, golden skin with a lightly seasoned crust that gives way to juicy, tender meat. Paprika, sage, and black pepper add gentle warmth and aroma without overpowering the chicken’s natural flavor. It’s a great weeknight dinner or casual weekend meal that pairs well with simple sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables.

Quick Shake-and-Bake Style Chicken
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and gather all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Combine flour, salt, paprika, sage, and pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken parts, seal the bag, and shake until they are well coated.

  3. 3

    Melt the butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish in the preheated oven. Place the coated chicken pieces in the baking dish skin-side down and bake for 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Flip the chicken pieces and bake until the bone is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
