Preheat oven to 350°F. Add 1 Tbsp. flour to oven bag. Brush the chicken with vegetable oil or butter. Remove chicken from oven when meat thermometer reaches 180°F. If using a Turkey Size oven bag for foods smaller than 12 lbs., gather oven bag loosely around food, allowing room for heat circulation, close with nylon tie and cut away excess oven bag.
