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

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. —Diane Hixon, Niceville, Florida

Test Kitchen Tips

Pecans have a higher fat content than other nuts, so they’re more prone to going rancid. They’ll stay fresh for twice as long in the freezer as they would at room temperature.

If you’re an avid home cook, smoked paprika may be a worthwhile investment. Its rich and smoky flavor adds complexity to many dishes.
