1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary

Place chicken in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in.x 2-in. baking pan. Combine remaining ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and pour over chicken. Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees F for 1-1/2 hours or until juices run clear, basting occasionally.
This is too spicy for me, but the wife loves this chicken. It's so easy too. Take 1 package of chicken tenders, dip in melted butter then roll them in bread crumbs seasoned with a little salt and 1 tsp. or more if you like it hotter, of Cayenne pepper. Place in shallow baking dish and bake at 350 degrees until golden brown.
