Oven Baked Buttermilk Bisquick Chicken Legs



This recipe is so easy and it always comes out great!  An old neighborhood friend of mine use to make it all the time for her family and she made it a couple times for me.  I've changed a few things over the years but it's basically the same recipe she made and the same recipe on the back of the Bisquick box.  Make sure to use chicken legs, not chicken breasts, chicken legs are super moist!!   This oven baked chicken is great to eat right out of the oven or cold at a picnic.  Enjoy..





Oven Baked Buttermilk Bisquick Chicken Legs

1 Cup Buttermilk (or more if needed)
2 Tablespoons Butter
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2/3 Cup Original Bisquick
1 1/2 Teaspoons Paprika
1 1/4 Teaspoons Salt
1/4 Teaspoon pepper
4 Large Chicken Legs

Heat oven to 425 F. Melt butter and olive oil in rectangular 13x9x2 inches baking dish in oven. 

Stir together Bisquick, paprika, salt and pepper.  Dip both sides of chicken in buttermilk; coat both sides of chicken with Bisquick mixture ( rolling in mixture and pressing mixture on with hands).  Place skin sides down in baking dish (olive oil and butter should be hot). 

Bake 35 minutes; turn chicken. Bake about 15 minutes longer or until juice is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.
