Meanwhile, mix flour, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken pieces with the dry mixture; place skin sides down in hot melted butter in baking pan. Bake chicken, uncovered, for 35 minutes; turn chicken pieces. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until juices run clear from thickest pieces. Oven fried chicken serves 4 to 6.
When it comes to flavor, the coating of your fried chicken makes all the difference. You can make it tangy, sweet, spicy - whatever you'd like. It's up to your sense of adventure and creativity.
