Recipe: Big Bucket in the Sky Chicken

Here is one I found.

You might have to adjust the seasonings if too bland according to the notes.

Big Bucket in the Sky Chicken

3 cups self-rising flour
1 Tbsp paprika
2 envelopes Lipton Tomato Cup-A-Soup powder
2 pkgs Good Seasonings Italian dressing mix
powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 pound butter or margarine

Combine all the dry ingredients in a doubled plastic food bag. Shake well.

Prepare a 10x15x3/4-inch pan with Pam or wipe it well with oil.

Run a cut-up fryer chicken under cold water and let excess water drip, or put the wet chicken pieces into a colander and drain a few minutes. Dredge pieces in the flour mixture by placing each piece, one at a time, into the bag of seasoned flour and shaking it. Arrange the coated pieces, skin side up, on the prepared pan.

Melt 1/4 lb of margarine or butter, and using a soft bristled pastry brush, dab the melted margarine over the floured surface, skin side only, of each piece.

When all of the margarine has been divided among all the chicken pieces, bake them uncovered without turning at 375 degrees for 20 to 40 minutes or until golden brown and tender.

Servings: 4-6
