We like to have these with mashed potatoes & gravy, corn & broccoli or peas.

Also really good with cornbread & salad. Also good cold for picnics or barbecues!


FOR BONE-IN CHICKEN PIECES:

Use 3-5 lbs chicken (frying chicken, cut into pieces) for 4-6 servings.

Everything else is the same, except for baking -

Bake at 400*F for 35 minutes, turning chicken once during baking time.

Increase temperature to 425*F and bake another 10-15 minutes or until chicken is tender and juices (from thigh pieces) run clear when pierced with a fork.
