   2      cups          flour
     1/2  cup           bread crumbs
   4      teaspoons     salt

     1/2  cup           honey

Roll chicken in mixture of flour, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and paprika.  
Put 1 cup butter in a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking dish.  Place in a hot oven 
(400 F.) for a few minutes to melt butter.  Do not let it brown.  Remove 
from oven; arrange chicken in a single layer in the pan, turning to coat 
with the melted butter.  Bake for 30 minutes, skin side down.  Turn 
chicken.  Mix remaining 1/2 cup butter, melted honey and lemon juice.  
Pour over chicken.  Bake for 30 minutes longer or until fork tender, 
basting frequently with the honey sauce.  Makes 8 servings.
