| Amish Baked Chicken |
I have made it for company (so you know it's good) and it never fails to impress.
Now I am going to give a disclaimer on this recipe: I bake it on a stone with sides (Pampered Chef: Bar Pan) so if you do not have a stone I have no idea how this chicken will turn out! For me, the skin is crunchy and flavorful and the chicken meat is juicy and tender. If you bake it in a pan or some other way please leave me a comment and let me know how it turns out.
Thanks so much to GE for leaving a comment and letting me know that using a baking sheet will work with this recipe!
Used a baking sheet and it turned out moist and delicious. Next time we'll try boneless... And a stone pan! Thank you!!!

Course: Main Course
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup flour
- 1⁄2 Tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 6 bone-in chicken thighs
- 3 bone-in chicken breasts
Directions
In a medium bowl combine flour and spices. Whisk well.Dredge chicken in flour mixture and then place on cooking stone, skin side down. I use two stones, one for the breasts and one for the thighs.
Bake at 375 degrees for 45-60 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Flip chicken once, half-way through cooking. Mine always takes the full 60 minutes.

Verdict:
This chicken is AMAZING! Everyone loves it.
The breasts are moist and the thighs are perfect. Nothing in this recipe needs changed! Seriously, no matter what other "baked" chicken recipe I try my family always asks "When are we having Amish Chicken again?"
I have tried this recipe with boneless chicken and it just didn't taste right for some reason. It was still good but just not as good as we have come to expect. So I am going to stick with bone-in chicken. Which since that is cheaper in my area is a good thing!

I do not work for nor do I sell Pampered Chef. I just love their stones and use them every single day!
I think I'll do this today. It looks amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteRosilind, Thank you so much for the comment. It really is quite good. Please let me know if you do try it and what you think!
DeleteDoes the chicken juices drip onto the oven being that it's cooked on a flat stone?
ReplyDeleteMikeline,
ReplyDeleteI actually have a baking stone with sides. It is called a bar pan and is almost like a cookie sheet. I will edit the post to include this information. You could NOT bake this chicken on a pizza stone, your oven would be a MESS!
Thank you so much for your comment!
My bar pan just broke :( Trying this anyways.
ReplyDeleteTheresa, Please let me know what kind of a pan you used and how it turned out!
DeleteThanks so much!
Just wondering, would a pizza stone on a cookie sheet work? It sounds like it might be worth trying anyway. Maybe a large cast iron pan preheated in oven? May try to play with these ideas. Any advice you have would be great. It really does look wonderful. Debharris723@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteI think that a pizza stone placed on a cookie sheet would work just fine. I have done that with my sausage roll (I should really post that recipe too) and it works great. I have NEVER cooked with cast iron before (I sure would love to try) so please if you do it that way let me know how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks delicious! I would love to invite you to share your recipe at my linky party. :) Meal Planning Monday Recipe Link-Up. http://www.aprilshomemaking.com/2014/04/meal-planning-monday-recipe-link-up-5.html
ReplyDeleteThank you April for the invite. I would love to join your link-up!

ReplyDeleteYours was the most popular post.
I can see why it was, that chicken looks yummy!!! :)
Laurie, What an HONOR! So excited! Thank you so much for hosting the link-up! I love visiting all the other blogs and "meeting" new people!
DeleteGiving this a shot tonight in baking pan since my stone is a pizza stone. Will let you know.
ReplyDeletePLEASE let me know how it turns out! I hope that it is amazing! I look forward to hearing how it turned out and thanks for stopping by.

DeleteSo glad that it turned out! I have tried the boneless chicken breasts and thighs before and it did taste good but I did not think it tasted as good as the bone-in chicken.
DeleteThanks so much for letting me know that it worked even without a stone pan! Good to know!
What about butter, oil or grease? I want to try this but have a hard time thikinking it will cook up crispy without some type of "fat". I did not see any mentioned in the recipe. I have a similar recipe but you coat the chicken with melted butter first then the flour mixture. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI promise you if you follow the recipe (exactly) the chicken will be wonderful. I think the natural juices from the chicken are all the "fat" that you need. As I stated in my post though I bake mine on a stone so I have no idea (though others have commented that it turned out just as good using a regular pan) how it will be if you do not use a baking stone!
DeleteMy mom made this for christmas, and it was delicious! She just baked it on a cookie sheet, and it turned out just perfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for letting me know that this recipe works on a cookie sheet! That is great to hear for those who are wanting to try this amazing chicken but do not have the stone baking pan!
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
I cook this frequently. I use a jelly roll pan. I would not try to cook this on a completely flat cookie sheet or pizza stone. Some juice/fat does cook out and accumulate during cooking, especially if the chicken is not spread out. It works best if I don't crowd the chicken so that the chicken can crisp up some.
ReplyDeleteDo you use skin-on or skinless chicken?
ReplyDeleteI got this recipe from an actual Amish cookbook 10+ years ago and have been making it since with a few variations. Mine calls for
ReplyDelete1/4 t.dry mustard instead of the garlic and onion powder and 1 stick of butter. You melt butter in a cake pan then place coated chicken pieces in the pan. I know some people will be concerned with the amount of butter but it gives it a great taste. I have used boneless and bone in pieces as well as just skinless boneless breasts as that's what hubby prefers and it has turned out great everytime and is always a big hit. Thanks for sharing!

The flour mixture did not stay on the chicken. When I flipped it over at 23 minutes, it was just plain chicken skin. What did I do wrong?
ReplyDeleteDo you preheat the oven first and preheat the stone bar too?
ReplyDeleteYou do need to preheat the oven but I do not preheat the stone! I might try that next time just to see if it gives the chicken a nicer sear (more like fried) but I have never done it before.
DeleteIf you try it please let me know how it turns out.
Hi my name is Pauline I was just wondering if I could use whole chicken in the same way . I use the recipe before chicken breast and thighs and it turned out so juicy.
DeletePauline, I'm afraid I do not know if this recipe would work with a whole chicken. I certainly do think it would be delicious if it did work. But I have never tried it that way.
DeleteIf you do try it please let me know how it works!!
Have made this recipe many times using a cast iron skillet. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh that's a great idea!! I may have to try that!
DeleteCan you put pizza stone pan inside of tin pan to avoid mess
ReplyDeleteYou can absolutely do that. And I think it would work out great! What a fantastic idea! Actually, a little upset with myself that I didn't think of that!
