   Dip the chicken into the egg bath and then into the flour coating, shaking off any excess and place on a plate large enough to hold the chicken.

   When all the pieces are coated, chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

5. 5

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

6. 6

   In an ovenproof dish, (like a Pyrex) melt the butter and add the olive oil.

7. 7

   Place the chicken, skin side down, into the dish in a single layer and drizzle some of the butter/oil on the pieces.

8. 8

   Bake for 10 minutes and turn pieces over and continue baking about 45 minutes, or until done.
