Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Melt the butter in a small bowl.

In a paper bag, combine garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and your choice of dry bread crumbs, finely crushed cornflakes, or flour.

Dip each chicken piece into the melted butter, ensuring it's well-coated.

Place the butter-coated chicken pieces into the paper bag with the dry ingredients.

Shake the bag to coat the chicken evenly.

Place the coated chicken pieces skin side up in a lightly greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown.

Serve hot.
