VERSION ONE:
Heat oven to 425°. Wash the chicken and pat dry. Melt shortening and butter in a 9 x13 baking pan in oven. Mix flour, salt, pepper and paprika. Coat chicken thoroughly with flour mixture. Place chicken, skin side down, in the pan. Bake uncovered 30 minutes. Turn the chicken over and bake another 20-3- minutes until the thickest part of the meat is no longer pink. With breasts or pieces 30 minutes may be enough for well done.
VERSION TWO:
Rinse chicken and pat dry. Mix bread crumbs and cheese together and place on waxed paper. Dip each piece of chicken in melted butter then roll in bread crumb mixture. Coat well. Line baking sheet with foil and bake at 350° for about 1 hour. Check after 50 minutes.
Version two is good for fish and chicken fried steak as well.
