This Amish Oven-Fried Chicken is surprisingly simple and oh so good. It turns out great–very moist, tender and the crust is yummy.
Tastes as good as skillet-fried but since it’s made in the oven it’s much healthier.
A great way to “fry” that chicken without all of the splatters on top of the stove. A good recipe. It’s good cold too.
For an extra treat use the drippings to make great milk gravy. Great with mashed potatoes for a southern fried chicken dinner.

Amish Oven-Fried Chicken is a favorite in my household!
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 10 chicken pieces
Place oil and butter in a shallow cooking pan and place it in 375ºF oven to melt butter, set aside.
In a large paper sack, combine dry ingredients.
Roll the chicken pieces, 3 at a time, in butter and oil then drop into a sack and shake to cover.
Place on a plate until all pieces are coated.
Leave any excess butter and oil in a pan.
Place chicken in the pan skin side down (or it's just as good if you remove all the skin first).
Bake at 375ºF for 45 minutes.
Turn chicken pieces over and bake 5 to 10 minutes longer or until a crust begins to bubble.
Enjoy!
