Method

Prepare Chicken

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken pieces to ensure they are well coated.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the seasoned chicken pieces on a baking tray and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.

Prepare Cornbread

  1. 3

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well blended.

  2. 4

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.

  3. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

  4. 6

    Bake Cornbread

    Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch square baking dish and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Prepare Side

  1. 7

    Cook the Vegetables

    If using green beans, steam or sauté them in a pan with a little water or olive oil until tender, about 5-7 minutes. If serving mashed potatoes, prepare them according to your preferred recipe.
