Some easy recipes for a Super Bowl party.

The chicken can be served hot or at room temperature.

Oven-Fried Chicken

24 chicken drumsticks
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1/2 cup butter

Heat oven to 450 degrees.

In a gallon-sized plastic bag, combine flour, salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, and poultry seasoning. Line 2 13×9-inch pans with heavy duty foil. Place 1/4 cup butter in each pan. Place pans in oven to melt butter.

Rinse chicken in cold water then, coat it with seasoned flour mixture, shaking about 3 legs at a time in the bag. Place chicken in prepared pans in the melted butter. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Turn over and bake 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until tender and nicely browned.

Makes 24.
