How To Make Baked Breaded Chicken
- First, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Next, place the chicken pieces in a bowl and cover them with milk. Let the milk soak into the chicken for at least twenty minutes.
- In a medium bowl, stir the baking mix and seasoned salt.
- Then, in another bowl, beat together three eggs.
- Next, lightly spray a 9×13-inch Pyrex pan with nonstick cooking spray. Slice the butter into Tablespoon-sized pieces and put it in the bottom of the pan. Place the pan in the oven for about five minutes or until it is melted.
- While the butter melts, remove the chicken from the milk and dry the pieces.
- Remove the pan from the oven and dredge the chicken in the egg followed by the seasoned biscuit mix.
- Then, dredge in the egg again and dip in the biscuit mix once more and press the biscuit mix onto the chicken.
- Shake off the excess biscuit mix and place the chicken in the baking dish with the melted butter.
- Bake the chicken for ten minutes and then flip over the chicken and bake for another ten minutes. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Finally, remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to cool for five minutes before serving.

Recipe Variations
- To save time, you can use chicken tenders. The cooking time will need to be reduced.
- If you don’t have seasoned salt, mix in salt and pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and whatever spices you like.
Storage Tips
SERVE: You can keep the chicken out for no longer than two hours before it needs to be covered and refrigerated.
STORE: Place the chicken in a covered container and refrigerate for 3-4 days. Note that the longer the chicken sits in the refrigerator, the less crisp it will become.

REHEAT: Place the chicken on a baking sheet and heat in a 375°F oven until heated through and crisp, about 20-22 minutes.

Notes
- When soaking the chicken in the milk, cover it and place it in the refrigerator if you plan to let it sit for more than 45 minutes.
- Soaking the chicken is essential to get it tender.
- The cooking spray and butter are added before the chicken to help the coating not stick to the pan.
- When flipping the chicken, carefully slide the tongs or a spatula under it to lift it so that the coating doesn’t come off.
- Ensure the chicken is dry before dipping it in the egg and biscuit mix. This ensures the coating will stick to the chicken well.
