1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 to 3 pounds chicken parts
Shortening or vegetable oil
4 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
4 tablespoons milk

Combine first 4 ingredients. Work into chicken pieces. Allow to dry for a few minutes. Save unused flour mixture for gravy, if desired.

Brown chicken in about 1/2 inch of oil. Place browned chicken in shallow baking pan. Do not stack or crowd. Use 2 pans if necessary. Mix melted butter and milk, and drizzle over chicken. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until tender. If pieces look dry during baking, pour milk on them.
