DEEP SOUTH OVEN CHICKEN

Deep South Oven Chicken

4 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 cup buttermilk baking mix
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 broiler-fryer, cut up
Parsley sprigs (for garnish)

In a large open roasting pan in a 400 degree F oven, melt butter and margarine.

Meanwhile, on wax paper, combine baking mix, chopped pecans, paprika, salt and poultry seasoning. Pour evaporated milk into a pie plate. Dip chicken pieces in milk, then coat well with baking mix mixture. Place chicken pieces, skin side down, in a roasting pan. Bake chicken 30 minutes.

With a pancake turner, carefully turn chicken pieces. Bake 20 minutes longer or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a fork, covering with foil after 10 minutes if chicken begins to brown too quickly. Arrange chicken on platter. Garnish with parsley sprigs.
