Simple Oven-Fried Chicken

Directions

Rinse and pat-dry chicken pieces.

Melt the butter in a saucepan.

Mix the salt, pepper, bread crumbs and cornstarch thoroughly.

Dip each piece of chicken into the melted butter and then into the bread crumb mixture.

Place the chicken pieces skin-side down, in a shallow baking pan.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes, then turn each piece of chicken over, skin-side up, and continue cooking for another 25 minutes, or until each piece is richly browned and can be easily pierced with a fork.

Serve at once.
