The pecans that give this dish its unique nutty flavor are plentiful in the South, and so is chicken. I love to make and serve this simple oven fried chicken dish because the chicken comes out moist, tasty and crispy.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup evaporated milk
• 1 cup biscuit/baking mix
• 1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
• 1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds), cut up
• 1/3 cup butter, melted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place milk in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine the baking mix, pecans and seasonings. Dip chicken pieces in milk, then coat generously with pecan mixture.
2. Place in a lightly greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Drizzle with butter. Bake, uncovered, until chicken is golden brown and crispy and juices run clear, about 1 hour.
