Alberta's Oven-fried Chicken

Courtesy of Patrice Warto

1/2 cube butter plus a little oil
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 green onions
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
3 to 3 1/2 pounds chicken pieces

Heat oven to 350. Put butter and oil in a 13x9x2-inch baking pan; place the
pan in the oven to melt butter.

Meanwhile, mix flour, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken pieces with the
dry mixture; place skin sides down in hot melted butter in baking pan. Place pieces of the green onions and the lemon slices around the chicken.

Bake chicken, uncovered, for 35 minutes; turn chicken pieces. Bake for
about 25 minutes longer, or until juices run clear from thickest
pieces.
