Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 30 to 40 minutes
Total Time: 35 to 45 minutes
Servings: 6

• 6 - 8 bone-in chicken pieces
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 cup baking mix
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder

Here's how to make it:

1. Put the melted butter into a baking pan. (You could use a cast iron skillet for this chicken recipe.)
2. Combine the baking mix and garlic powder in a bowl. (For even more flavor, add some onion powder to the mix.)
3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dip the chicken into the seasoned baking mix. Place on top of the butter.
4. Bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven for about 30 to 40 minutes, depending on chicken pieces used and size. (Use whatever chicken pieces you like, such as thighs, legs and wings. Breasts take a bit longer to cook, so use a meat thermometer. Chicken is done at 165 degrees F internal temperature.) Store any leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge.
