I've been waiting for everyone to recover from "poultry burn-out" following Thanksgiving before I posted this. This is a recipe for chicken that I cut from a newspaper many years ago, it was the signature dish of a family style chicken restaurant. We have enjoyed this easy and tender way of fixing chicken for a long time. For this method you will need the "bone in, skin on" pieces that go on sale so often.

Bake uncovered at 350 degree F for 30 minutes.
Mix milk powder with 1 1/2 cups of hot water. Pour around chicken. Bake 1-1/4 hours more, or till tender.

For some reason, we enjoy this with mashed potatoes and that tired, old green bean casserole. |
