Recipe Notes
- You could substitute boneless chicken breasts in this easy butter baked chicken recipe, but reduce the cooking time.
- Cooking time will also be affected by how big your chicken pieces are and if you use legs, wings, thighs or breasts.
- Internal temperature of the chicken should be at 165 degrees F before serving.
Here's how to make it:
- Combine the melted butter, Italian seasoning, parsley and garlic in a bowl. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet or ovenproof skillet. Season the chicken with the paprika and salt and pepper. Cook the chicken in the hot oil until well browned on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes
- At this point you can transfer the chicken to a baking dish or cook in the skillet. Pour the butter mixture over the chicken. Bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
