Flashback Friday / Oven Fried Sesame Paprika Chicken

I had not made this chicken for a very long time. It was so moist, crispy and best of all EASY, why had I forgotten about this recipe? I first posted the recipe back in 2010. I served it with Roasted potatoes, and a tossed salad. This amount of flour was enough for 4 large chicken breast halves.

• 1/2 cup of all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 egg well beaten mixed with 2 tablespoons water
• 4 bone in chicken breasts, or 6-8 bone in chicken thighs. (Skin on or off, your choice)

1. Combine the dry ingredients.
2. dip the chicken in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture and once more in the seasoned flour. 
3. Place the chicken skin side up on a well greased foil lined baking pan for easy clean up. 
4. Brush with melted butter.
5. Top with Sesame seeds. 
6. Bake at 375 degrees (Fahrenheit)  for 45-60 minutes depending on the size of chicken pieces used. 

The baking powder in the coating contributes to how crunchy the chicken is. A good alternative to fried chicken.
