My Oven

I usually do this with chicken breast, boneless or bone-in. You can do it with whatever parts you like. I've been making my oven "fried" chicken like this since the '60s! This may sound like a lot of work, but it just takes more time to write it out than to do it. NOTE: See the comment of Jacqueline in KY dated June 10. She warns about expired biscuit mix.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 chicken pieces, preferably bone-in skin on breasts
1 1/2 cups biscuit mix
1/3 cup solid shortening
1/3 cup butter, not margarine
milk
salt
pepper
poultry seasoning

Steps:

  • IMPORTANT! THE TIMING FOR THIS RECIPE IS BASED ON USING GOOD SIZED CHICKEN BREAST WITH SKIN AND BONE-IN. IF USING OTHER PARTS, ADJUST THE TIME ACCOURDINGLY.
  • Put the 1/3 cup of shortening and 1/3 cup butter in 9x13-inch baking pan lined with foil. I use solid Crisco.
  • Put baking pan into cold oven and heat oven to 400°F.
  • Meanwhile, put biscuit mix and seasonings in large plastic bag.
  • Put one piece of chicken in bag and shake to coat.
  • Do this for all pieces.
  • When 400°F is reached, remove the pan from the oven.
  • Place chicken pieces "skin" side down in hot pan.
  • Bake for approx 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, using the Bisquick left in the bag, add enough Bisquick and milk to make a recipe of biscuits per directions on box.
  • You can make drop or rolled biscuits.
  • When the time is up on the chicken, remove the pan from the oven, turn the pieces over and CROWD them over to one short side of pan.
  • On other side, place or drop biscuits close together in all those gorgeous juices.
  • Put back into oven and bake for 15 or more minutes, until biscuits are done.
  • There is no need to butter THESE biscuits, they have soaked up all the juices etc from the baking pan!
  • ENJOY!
