Butter Chicken Recipe





2 to 3 tablespoons of butter


1 onion


录 teaspoon of cinnamon


2 teaspoons of crushed garlic


2 teaspoons of crushed ginger


陆 teaspoon of ground turmeric


1 to 2 teaspoons of chilli powder


1 tablespoon of coriander


400 grams / 14 oz of skinless, boneless chicken thighs or breasts


录 to 陆 cup ground almonds


225 gram / 8 oz can of whole peeled tomatoes with juice


1 tablespoon of tomato paste


陆 cup of unsweetened yoghurt


With chicken there is always a risk of food poisoning, so it is important to clean your hands, board and knives before and after working with the raw meat. Trim and cut the chicken into small cubes, cover and put aside. With a clean knife and board slice the onions into thin wedges (lyonnaise). Heat a large saucepan or frying pan and melt 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter until it is frothy. Add the onions and the cinnamon to the pan and fry lightly. When the onions are soft stir in the crushed garlic and ginger. Then add the turmeric, chilli and coriander, and saut茅 over a medium heat. The spices are fried first to release their maximum flavour and this really enhances the dish. Add the cubed chicken and saut茅 stirring constantly until the chicken has turned white. Pour in the ground almonds, tomatoes and tomato paste. Mix thoroughly. Cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Add the yoghurt and heat through. Serve on rice with a salad and Indian bread if desired.

Fried Chicken Coating


INGREDIENTS


2 cups all-purpose flour


1/4 cup paprika


2 tablespoons salt


2 tablespoons pepper


1 tablespoon ground mustard


1 tablespoon dried thyme


1 teaspoon ground ginger


1/2 teaspoon dried oregano


ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS:


2 eggs


1/2 cup milk


1 (3 1/2) pound broiler-fryer chicken, cut up


vegetable oil


http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Fried-Chick鈥?/a>Has anyone got a recipe for a coating for fried chicken ?
I like Tyler Florence's fried chicken from his ';Tylers Ultimate'; show.





Ingredients


鈥? (3 to 4 pound) chicken, cut up into 10 pieces


鈥osher salt


鈥? cups all-purpose flour


鈥? tablespoons garlic powder


鈥? tablespoons onion powder


鈥? tablespoons sweet paprika


鈥? teaspoons cayenne


鈥reshly ground black pepper


鈥? quart buttermilk


鈥? tablespoons hot chili sauce (recommended: Srirachi)


鈥eanut oil, for frying


鈥?/4 bunch fresh thyme


鈥? big sprigs fresh rosemary


鈥?/4 bunch fresh sage


鈥?/2 head garlic, smashed, husk still attached


鈥emon wedges, for serving


Directions


Put the chicken pieces into a large bowl. Cover the chicken with water by 1 inch; add 1 tablespoon of salt for each quart of water used. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.





In a large shallow platter, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne until well blended; season generously with salt and pepper. In another platter combine the buttermilk and hot sauce with a fork and season with salt and pepper.





Drain the chicken and pat it dry. Dredge the pieces, a few at a time, in the flour mixture,





then dip them into the buttermilk; dredge them again in the seasoned flour. Set aside and let the chicken rest while you prepare the oil.





Put about 3 inches of oil into a large deep pot; it should not come up more than half way. Add the thyme, rosemary, sage, and garlic to the cool oil and heat over medium-high heat until the oil registers 350 to 365 degrees F on one of those clip-on deep-fry thermometers. The herbs and garlic will perfume the oil with their flavor as the oil comes up to temperature.





Once the oil has reached 350 to 365 degrees F, working in batches, carefully add the chicken pieces 3 or 4 at a time. Fry, turning the pieces once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 12 minutes. Total cooking time should be about 30 minutes. When the chicken is done, take a big skimmer and remove the chicken pieces and herbs from the pot, shaking off as much oil as you can, and lay it on a tea towel or brown paper bag to soak up the oil. Sprinkle all over with more salt and a dusting of cracked black pepper. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Once all the chicken is fried, scatter the fried herbs and garlic over the top. Serve hot, with big lemon wedges.

Make an egg wash with hot sauce and a teaspoon of mustard. Whisk it well. Dip your chicken in seasoned flour, dust off, dip in the egg wash and then flour again.





Unless you soak the chicken in the egg wash you will not taste the hot sauce. The mustard will help the chicken fry up the prettiest golden brown. Very tasty.
Put some flour with salt and pepper in a brown bag. Dip your chicken pieces in some buttermilk. Put the chicken in the bag of flour and shake to coat. Fry till done.





Simple.

2 Bay leaves


2 teaspoons oregano


1/2 cup capers with juices


1/2 cup pitted spanish green olives


3/4 cup olive oil


2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Well i love fried chicken. Haha. But then if you bake your chicken legs in the oven and season them with a little meat tenderizer, thyme, basil, and seasoning salt. Then drizzle a little olive oil over the top of the legs after seasoning. It comes out pretty good :o]
curried chicken and rice or cook them up and add to spagetti.
Do you ever make curried chicken. It's really easy and good. Coat the chicken with seasoning salt (or if you don't have salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika), and a good amount of curry powder. I would imagine it's just about 3 tbsp. Make sure that all you chicken is a bright color of yellow. To this add 1 scotch bonnet pepper that has been dices finely. It's really spicy so make sure you wash your hands well after you cut it up. Then add 2 large onions that you have sliced. Let this marinate for at leat 3 hours. Then add to a hot pan that has a even layer or some type of oil on the bottom. Let the chicken brown up on all sides, then top with water. Let it simmer for about an hour. By then you should have a nice sauce to top rice with and really tender chicken. If your sauce gets too thick too quickly just add a little more water.
rub a little black pepper and salt on them.





i built a fire pit out back of my hunting cabin. i make a little bonfire then thrown in about 20 pieces of hickory wood. i let the hickory burn down to coals then put the chicken on the grill over the hot coals. the fat dripping from the chicken onto the coals makes the hot coals smoke and the hickory flabor permeates into the meat of the chicken. it takes a good 50-60 minutes before it is ready to be eaten. now that is REAL barbeque!
Marinade them overnight in a mix of soy sauce and honey. Then bake in a moderate oven....easy and delicious.

Spread 1/4 cup peanut sauce over the surface of each of the doughs. Distribute 1/2 of the cheese over the sauce. Repeat with other pizza. Distribute 1/2 of the chicken over the cheese. Repeat with other pizza. Place the pizzas in the oven (on top of pizza stones). Bake until crust is crispy and cheese is bubbling (8-10 minutes).

    Recipe for a low carb under 10gm chicken casserole?

    I want to make a chicken casserole but i want it to be a very low carb dinner.Recipe for a low carb under 10gm chicken casserole?
    Instead of pasta, throw the chicken in your casserole dish with a bag of specialty frozen veggie mix. You know what veggies your family and/or friends like best. Get a mix with those in it. You can get all sorts of special mixes nowadays in most grocery stores. When it's nearly done, top with grated cheese.





    Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and brown in a skillet that's been sprayed with non-stick spray. Season to taste. I like a combination of salt, pepper, onion, and garlic. You can add a little water while it's cooking if it starts to stick. Be sure the chicken is done, then mix it with the frozen veggies and pile it into your casserole pan. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit about 30 min, then top with grated cheese and bake 10-15 min more. Yummers!Recipe for a low carb under 10gm chicken casserole?

Cover kettle and simmer 3 hours or until meat is very tender. (Do not stir). As you serve, stir sauce gently to blend.


    Makes 6 servings.

    You will need


    (serves 4-6)





    1Kg lean beef - cubed.


    500g baby shallot onions - peeled.


    2 large onions chopped.


    3 juicy tomatoes - chopped.


    2 table-spoons of tomato paste.


    1 whole nutmeg crushed (put it into a bag and hit it with a rolling pin!)


    1 cinnamon stick and 3 cloves.


    4 garlic cloves - finely chopped.


    Rosemary sprig.


    1 small wineglass of extra-virgin olive oil.


    2 glasses of red wine.


    A good splash of vinegar.


    Fresh coarsely ground black pepper.








    1. Add beef to large frying pan, with: the olive oil, chopped onions, garlic, and cook on a high heat until the meat is sealed and the onions have turned soft.





    2. Next, add the chopped tomatoes, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves, rosemary and a good pinch of black pepper. Keep stirring while the ingredients blend on a moderate heat.





    3. Keep heating while adding the wine, vinegar and tomato paste. Stir well.





    4. Turn out into a casserole dish - terracotta is best. Add warm water so as to cover the meat. Cook in oven until the meat is nearly cooked - about one hour.


    5. While waiting, peel the baby shallot onions, wash them and shallow fry them in a little olive oil, until soft, not letting them burn.


    6. Remove casserole from the oven, and add the shallots (but not the oil) to the simmering meat. Return to oven, and leave until the meat is thoroughly cooked (soft and tender) - add water as needed so that you end up with a thick sauce.
    Stifado (Greek Beef Stew)





    3 lbs Stewing or chuck steak


    1/4 cup Plain flour


    at Least 1/2 bottle of good, rich red wine


    2 tbsp Red wine vinegar


    3 cloves Garlic, thinly sliced


    1 lb Baby onions or shallots


    Olive oil for frying


    1 Cinnamon stick, broken in half


    3 Bay leaves


    1 tsp Ground allspice


    2 tbsp Tomato paste


    1 cup Beef stock


    Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste








    Dice your beef into large chunks, the bigger the better, but around 2'; is about right. Season the flour with plenty of black pepper and a bit of salt, and coat the chunks of beef. In a fairly hot pan, heat the olive oil and when hot, fry your chunks of beef until sealed on all sides and slighty browned. These can be done in batches of a few at a time if required. Put into a large casserole or a pot with a lid when done.








    Add some more oil to the pan and fry the onions (chopped in half if they're too big) over a medium heat until they start to brown - about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for a further minute. Put this into the casserole with the beef. Pour the wine into the pan, add the red wine vinegar, cinnamon, ground allspice and heat until it just begins to boil. Add this to the casserole along with the beef stock and the bayleaves. Stir in the tomato puree.








    Put the lid onto casserole and bake at 300 degrees for about 3 hours or until tender, stirring occasionally. It will take at least 3 hours to cook, but 4 will be better and 5 won't hurt it! When it's done, the meat should be very tender and the sauce nice and thick.








    Serve with thick crusty bread.





    Cook's Notes


    Add 1/2 cup raisins if you like them. Plain chopped onions can be used instead of baby onions or shallots.
    stewing steak or chuck

    Does anyone have a really good recipe for the crust part of a chicken pot pie..just the crust?

    Mock Puff Pastry


    3/4 pound (3 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces


    3 cups of flour, chilled


    1 tsp salt


    2/3 cup chilled water


    Put the butter on a clean work surface and chop it roughly with a knife. Dump the flour and salt on top and use a pastry blender or knife to cut the butter and flour together. When well combined, but still dry and rough, add the water, a small amount at a time, and mix with a knife or dough scraper. It will look like a mess, but it produces a beautiful dough.


    Scrape the dough to the side and dust the work surface with flour or use a pastry mat. With a rolling pin, begin to roll out the crumbly dough into a 6- by 8-inch rectangle. Use a dough scraper or other flat surface to fold the two short edges of the rectangle to the center, then fold the bottom side over the top, as if you were closing a wallet. Turn the dough 90掳 and roll it out again to form a 6- by 8-inch rectangle. Repeat the folding process. You may need to dust the dough and counter with flour occasionally to keep it from sticking to the rolling pin. Place the dough in a plastic bag and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and repeat the roll and fold process two more times. At the end of the process, you'll be amazed at what a beautiful dough you have made. Seal it in plastic again and refrigerate for at least two hours. When you're ready to assemble the pot pie, roll the dough out to 1/8-inch thick and cut it to be slightly larger than the size of your baking dish. Lay the pastry on top and press along the edges of the dish to seal it.





    nfdDoes anyone have a really good recipe for the crust part of a chicken pot pie..just the crust?
    Hi - I've been making chicken pot pies for many years and find frozen flaky pastry works really well as a 'lid'. It's convenient and there's no mess or waste. Just make sure your pie mixture is cool (ie not hot) before you put your lid on top, prick it with a fork for ventilation, and brush a little milk or beaten egg onto your pastry to get that nice golden colour. Bake for about 10-20 mins in a moderate oven.
    the best i think even though i can make a good pie crust i think puff pastry works the best plus you can buy it frozen and ready to use i think it is made by peppridge farm in the frozen section of the grocery store
    Found this one online just before Xmas and loved it .. 1st time in 30 yrs I made a dough that tasted great and was easy to handle





    Never Fail Pastry





    1 lb shortening, chilled


    5 c all-purpose flour


    1 Tbs salt


    2 Tbs brown sugar


    1 egg (add a small splash of vinegar)


    1 c cold water





    Beat egg well, then add enough of the cold water to make 1 cup.


    Blend the dry ingredients together, then cut in shortening with a pastry cutter until well blended.


    Add the water/egg mixture all at once, and mix just until the dry ingredients are mixed in, no more. (dough will be sticky/wet looking, but that's ok)


    Scrape the dough together into a couple of loose balls, and divide it.


    Roll out to use right away, or wrap well and store in the fridge up to a week.





    Makes 3 covered pies or 5 pie shells or about 4 dozen 2 1/2'; tarts.





    (Note: Keep everything as cold as possible, it makes the pastry flakier...


    And roll out fairly thin - the pastry puffs out as it cooks


    Also, the 1st roll-out is the best one, after that it toughens up a bit, doesn't seem to like being handled a lot but if you ball up the scraps and stick them back in the fridge for about 10 mins to re-chill, it'll roll easily again)


    It freezes ok once cooked, but I found it to be on the greasy side when it was thawed

    Green Sauce for Seafood





    This is reminiscent of the famed ';skordalia'; of Greece. Serve as a dip with steamed or poached seafood or as a sauce with broiled, poached or grilled fish.





    1 slice white bread with crust removed


    5 tablespoons distilled white vinegar


    4 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed


    3/4 cup minced parsley, preferably flat leaf


    2 cloves garlic, minced


    3 anchovy fillets, finely minced


    1 teaspoon granulated sugar


    1 1/2 teaspoons capers, drained





    Tear the bread into pieces and place in a small bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of the vinegar and soak until the bread is saturated, about 30 minutes.





    Using a hand mixer or a blender or mini-chopper add the olive oil, parsley, garlic, anchovies and sugar to the bread and vinegar. Beat (or process) until well mixed. Add the capers and the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar. Spoon into a small serving bowl and let stand 15 to 20 minutes to blend the flavors or chill up to 3 hours.


    ------------


    Herb Sauce for chicken





    * 1/4 cup cognac or brandy


    * About 3 1/2 cups (28 oz.) chicken stock


    * 2 heaping Tbs. chopped mixed fresh herbs


    * 2 Tbs. heavy cream (optional)


    boiling down until it's reduced to about 2/3 cups sauce. Add herbs and cream, taste, and adjust the seasoning.


    ---------


    LEMON-PARSLEY SAUCE:





    In a small bowl mix: 1/4 c. water


    Set aside.


    In saucepan, place: 2 tbsp. lemon juice 1/4 tsp. grated lemon peel


    Stir in cornstarch mixture. Cook over medium high heat until mixture boils and thickens. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. Makes about 1 3/4 cups.


    ----------Looking for sauce recipes for fish or chicken.....?
    This is a weird one, but it's great on any kind of poultry particularly duck as well as pork.





    Let me preface this by saying if you're sauteing the chicken in the pan, use the same pan and the drippings (fat skimmed) to make the sauce.





    2 tablespoons minced shallots (use regular onion if you need to)


    1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon ground dried


    3/4 cup chicken broth or stock


    1/3 cup balsamic vinegar (use the cheap stuff, the expensive stuff isn't required)


    1/4 cup dried cherries (sweet cherries, not tart)


    2 teaspoons cold unsalted butter


    Salt and pepper to taste





    Saute the shallots in the de-fatted drippings. If you have no drippings, use 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the stock and vinegar and bring to a simmer. Add the cherries and rosemary and continue to simmer until the cherries plump up. Add salt and pepper to taste.





    Blend the sauce in the pot with an immersion blender if you have one. If not, or if you've made the sauce in a pan, pour the hot sauce in the blender and blend until smooth (it'll splash out if you use an immersion blender in the shallow pan). When it's smooth but still hot, add the butter to bind the sauce and blend just until it's fully incorporated and serve.





    You can use this as a glaze for the chicken if you're baking it as well. Just brush some on in the last 20 minutes of cooking.





    For fish and chicken, I like a citrus based mojito (not the drink.) This is a typical dipping sauce for tostones (fried plantains):





    10 cloves garlic, peeled


    1 teaspoon fine sea or kosher salt


    1 medium Spanish onion, chopped fine


    戮 cup gently warmed olive oil


    录 cup white vinegar


    Juice of 1 each: lime, orange, and lemon


    2 tablespoons cilantro, optional





    Bang the garlic and salt to a paste using a mortar and pestle (or a mini-chopper if you have one). Stir in the onions, then the remaining ingredients. Taste and add a little salt if you like. You can make the mojito in advance, up to about 3 days, and keep it in the refrigerator. Bring it to room temperature about an hour before serving.





    You can make the whole thing in the food processor or blender if you like.
    This will work well with either fish or chicken.





    Flour to coat


    1 T olive oil


    1/4 cup drinking sherry or dry white wine


    1 small onion, minced


    Juice of 1 lemon, no seeds!


    1/2 cup veggie broth


    2 tablespoons butter


    1/4 cup Italian parsley


    3 T capers


    Salt and Pepper

    Hubby allergic to chicken- help with frugal recipes!?

    My husband is allergic to chicken, and it seems our 1 yr old daughter may have the same allergy.


    I am really really trying ot be frugal, but 99% of the recipes I find in frugal websites or magazines/books include chicken. Very frustrating!





    DO you have any frugal recipes that do NOT have chicken in them? Also, my hubby has trouble digesting a lot of vegetables, so he sticks mainly to meat and potatoe type meals.





    help! The cost of red meat and meals I can make for hubby is driving our grocery bill up and up and up!





    ALSO if you have any other FRUGAL ideas, please send them along!!





    Herei s what I already do:





    clean with baking soda/vinegar/lemons


    cloth diaper baby


    shop @ local farmers market


    use hand me down/second hand clothing (or i sew kids clothes with scrap material/reused material)


    very stirct about electric use- no lights during the day, lights off in unused rooms, etc


    reuse items from around the house for decor/craft stuff


    no single use/throw away items


    disconnected our sattleite, so no more cable bill!


    got rid of our cell phones


    downgraded to a cheaper internet connection








    any other ideas would be great!! I REALLY need to cut out about $300 of useless spending a month.... so I can stay home with my kids instead of paying daycare!





    ThanksHubby allergic to chicken- help with frugal recipes!?
    My wife has a lot of food allergies. Many chicken recipes you may substitute pork. I am going to assume that they are allergic to other fowl as well such as turkey, duck or pheasant.Hubby allergic to chicken- help with frugal recipes!?
    Learn to fish, great adventure with the kids too. Gardening, squash and beans are healthy combinations.
    For dry goods shop in the dry bulk bins. This usually saves around 60% and in some of the better stores you can get everything from flour, sugar, rice, pasta, beans, spices, and even some prepared cereals.





    My hubby's real meat and potatoes too but he's opening up to other choices.





    One package of tofu costs between $1.19-$1.68 and lasts my 2 person household 2-3 meals. I use several recipes so it's never the same meal twice and it's pretty well disguised. Check out allrecipes.com for ideas. When you get it home, slice it, drizzle with olive oil and soy sauce, and bake 20-30 minutes at 400F. Store in sealed container in fridge and use as needed. This adds flavor but remains neutral so it will go with anything.





    Since he's a picky eater check out new recipes for the vegetables he will eat to keep them from getting boring and explore vegetarian meal options. I buy frozen fish at Costco and have rules about how much I'll spend.





    Do leftover plans. Make a pot roast one night, then from the leftovers you can make strognaoff, soup, stew, tacos, salad, etc. for the rest of the week.






    Can he eat other poultry? Turkey is inexpensive. Rabbit is one of the most digestible meats around and it doesn't cost much to raise meat rabbits. You already shop at farmer's markets. Do you buy large quantities in season and preserve by canning or freezing? For most of the country its too late to grow a vegetable garden but there's always next year. Growing your own food is a great hobby. It can be done on a very small budget. You have the ultimate control over how its raised and its a good learning opportunity for the kids.


    Other ways to save money include weatherproofing your house, getting the furnace tuned up for maximum efficiency and lowering the thermostat before going to bed or leaving the house.
    Vegetarian choices will definitely extend your budget. You can find that even ';meat %26amp; potatoes'; types can deal with a hearty lentil stew now and then.





    College-student- geared websites will often have suggestions for frugal, healthy meals.





    Lentil Stew:


    An excellent winter warmer which is high in fiber and low in


    fat. This recipe can be made in bulk and frozen in small


    quantities for individual meals. Ideal if you only have one


    vegetarian in the family or you are cooking for one.


    Ingredients


    1/3 cup dried yellow split peas (75g)


    1/3 cup red lentils (75g)


    1/3 cup green lentils (75g)


    4 cups boiling water (1000ml)


    2 medium finely chopped onions (200g)


    2 crushed cloves garlic (6g)


    2 tsp mono/polyunsaturated oil (10ml)


    2 tbsp water (40ml)


    1 tbsp fresh or 1 tsp dried oregano


    1 tbsp fresh or 1 tsp dried thyme


    1 tsp caraway seeds


    1 cup tinned kidney beans (200g)


    1 x 400g tin tomatoes (400g)


    陆 cup water (125ml)


    Method


    Place split peas and red and green lentils in a saucepan with


    1 liter of boiling water. Return to the boil and cook for 2 minutes. Cover and leave for 1 hour. Drain and put aside until


    required.


    Place onion, garlic, oil and water in a heavy based saucepan


    with oregano, thyme and caraway seeds. Stir fry for 5 minutes.


    Add prepared peas, lentils, kidney beans, tomatoes, water


    and salt. Bring to the boil and simmer over a low heat for 1


    hour, stirring occasionally.

    You can look into a vegan or vegetarian diet and see if you can get any good ideas. You can also look for a local rancher and see if you can get a deal on bulk meats, my rancher gives a deal if I would be willing to buy 1/2 a cow. Before I started buying direct from the rancher I shopped sales, I can pick up great deals on large pieces and learn to butcher them yourself things, like full pork or beef tenderloin, you can also get them at warehouse stores. You may also want to buy from the bulk aisles. My local stores have a great variety of almost anything you may want, spices, grains, pasta, nuts, flour, sugar, and treats.





    Another energy waster is stanby energy. I plug my tv, vcr, stereo and game system into a power strip with a switch, I flip them all off when not in use. This along with unplugging all chargers when not in use saved me about $50 a month. Anything that has a light or clock or uses a remote uses standby energy and almost all electronics draw some electicity even when turned off, so don't forget laptops, desktops, ipod docking stations, battery chargers, electric toothbrushes and microwaves.





    When I first became a stay home mom money was tight, I was an avid coupon clipper, but be careful that you aren't buying things you don't need. I also shopped sales ads. A couple times a year I still do what i call pantry cooking, that is when I clean out the pantry and make meals with what ever I can find, I usually just have to add some meat or a veggie. Planning a menu and shopping with a list are always good money savers. Before you think your children need another outfit, count what they have, we tend to over buy for our children. If they complain they have nothing to wear, arrange a clothing swap, have others in the same age group or Moms can do the same thing, come over with their good quality clothes they never wear and they can shop each others piles.





    The true test of where you can cut a budget is to write down every cent you spend and see where it is going. We often have little things draining the budget that we don't recognize as waste. I saw a lot of great ideas on Oprah's debt diet, the info may still be on her website.

  • Does anyone have a great recipe for roasting a chicken?

    Beer can chicken


    (Buy the rack near the soda display @walmart for less than $2)


    Whole chicken cleaned


    Basted w/olive oil


    Covered with Tony Chacon's Louisiana spice mix


    Garlic powder, salt n pepper


    You put 1/2 can of beer, or coke, or dr pepper is really good too, or root beer in the rack, sitting in a pan, I use 9'; square pan w/ 1/2 cup water in pan


    Set the chicken up on the rack/can %26amp; cook in oven @ 350 for an hour.


    Can also be grilled on gas grill. It's delicious, skin crispy, all the fat drains off, and the meat is juicy %26amp; tender. Enjoy!Does anyone have a great recipe for roasting a chicken?
    Chop some garlic ( I use 5 or 6 cloves) put it under the skin of the chicken along witih some fresh rosemary. Drizzle olive oil over the bird and bake for 90 minutes at 350 covered. Uncover the last 30 minute.Does anyone have a great recipe for roasting a chicken?
    my family calls this one ';defective chicken'; it is so tender it falls apart with just a touch of a fork-





    1 whole fryer/roaster at least 4-5 lbs


    sea salt


    garlic powder


    fine ground black pepper


    extra virgin olive oil





    Preheat oven to 300 degrees-


    Remove giblets (if included) and wash bird in cold water, remove any pinfeathers in skin. rub with olive oil and arrange bird (breast up) in roasting pan. lightly salt all over and repeat with garlic and black pepper.


    tent roaster with aluminum foil if it has no lid and place in oven for 1 1/2 hrs.


    when bird is checked it should be loose at all joints- when it reaches this point, uncover and increase heat to 375 and roast until skin is golden brown.


    Also it comes out really well if several green chili's (fire roasted peeled and seeded) are laid over the breast while roasting.
    Rub the chicken with olive oil all over. Sprinkle with: Garlic Powder, Celery Salt, Parsley, and Onion Powder. Place a half onion in the body cavity for more flavor if you wish. Cover the tips of the wings with foil to prevent burning. Place in oven and put heat to 350. DO NOT PREHEAT OVEN OR COVER CHICKEN. Putting the chicken in a cold oven will produce a nice crispy skin. If the skin gets too dark put a small piece of foil over the breast only. Cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours depending on size of the bird.

    Recipe to Make KFC Original Fried Chicken ?

    Recipe and the way to make KFC fried chicken exactly the same.Recipe to Make KFC Original Fried Chicken ?
    I did it once. I have a bad habit of never measuring things and just looking in my spice cupboard for what is appealing at the time. it was awesome and for the life of me I cant reproduce it.


    one thing you should be aware of is KFC pressure fries their chicken, so no matter the recipe, unless you have a way of pressure frying, you'll never duplicate it exactly





    you can google ';kfc chicken recipe'; and there are oodles of recipes. one thing they all say is, it requires a package of tomato cup o soup. interesting. havent tried it cause I can never find the dumb stuffRecipe to Make KFC Original Fried Chicken ?
    KFC uses buttermilk but this one is better! It's better than the Best Fried Chicken - Simply delicious fried chicken using, of all things, cream of chicken soup! The other key ingredient is cornstarch. The end result will surprise you. It will be perfect - crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and loaded with mouthwatering flavor. This chicken will definitely be requested on a regular basis by family and friends!





    INGREDIENTS


    4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves


    1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup


    1 egg


    seasoning salt to taste


    1/2 cup all-purpose flour


    1/2 cup cornstarch


    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder


    1/2 teaspoon paprika


    salt and pepper to taste


    oil for frying








    DIRECTIONS


    In a shallow dish or bowl combine the soup, egg and seasoning salt (be careful, as soup is already salted); mix together. Dip chicken in mixture and turn to coat completely. Set aside.


    In a resealable plastic bag mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. One at a time, place chicken pieces in bag, seal and shake to coat. Add more flour and/or cornstarch as necessary, but add them in equal parts (there should be an equal amount of each in the mixture).


    Place coated chicken on a platter and allow to sit until it becomes doughy (this is critical, to ensure crispiness when fried). Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat; be sure to use enough oil to cover chicken pieces. Once chicken is doughy, test oil by dropping a piece of the 'dough' into it; the oil is ready when it starts to fry immediately.


    Fry chicken pieces in oil for about 7 to 10 minutes each, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Drain on paper towels and serve.

    My kids love both of these
    My favorite recipe for baked chicken is Paula Deen's Chicken Sticks. You can use the chicken breasts that you have. I usually use the boneless kind, just cut them into strips. Here's the recipe:





    http://hubpages.com/_yan/hub/Simple-Chic鈥?/a>

    If a recipe calls for 1 cup of chicken (cooked/cubed), is that one chicken breast?

    I generally keep several chicken breasts in my freezer for dinners, but I am always confused when the recipe calls for cups of chicken.If a recipe calls for 1 cup of chicken (cooked/cubed), is that one chicken breast?
    That's probably about right if it's a good sized breast.If a recipe calls for 1 cup of chicken (cooked/cubed), is that one chicken breast?
    close enough
    yes that sounds about right!you dont have to follow the recipe word for word you know itl still turn out ok!
    Depends on the size of the breast. When you find out, let us know.
    No,it's the amount that fits into a measuring cup.





    A measuring cup that is a 1 cup measure.
    1 us cup = 8 ounces

    BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS





    Fresh chicken wings (about 1 1/4 lbs. per person)


    At least 12 oz. hot sauce (we use Durkee's red hot)


    Cayenne (red) pepper


    Garlic powder


    Onion powder


    Unsalted butter


    A ';Fry Baby'; or ';Fry Daddy'; (a deep pot on the stove will work, but not as well)


    Enough vegetable oil to reach fryer ';fill'; line


    Celery stalks, washed %26amp; trimmed


    1 wedge of blue cheese


    1 qt. plain yogurt (try the kind with the cream on top)


    3/4 qt. mayonnaise





    BLUE CHEESE SAUCE: The blue cheese sauce is best when made a day in advance and aged in the refrigerator. Pour most of your yogurt into a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise until mixture is still slightly tangy, but not overpowered by the mayonnaise (usually about a 60:40 yogurt:mayonnaise mix). Reserved yogurt can be added if you have gone too heavy with the mayo. Stir out all the mayo lumps, then crumble in the blue cheese and blend thoroughly. Refrigerate.


    WINGS: Chicken wings should be prepared 1 to 3 hours before cooking. By letting them air dry you reduce spattering and make them more crispy. From each wing, cut off the wing tip at the joint and separate the humerus from the radius-ulna section at the other joint. Don't cut through the cartilage, but cleanly through the joint between the ends of the bones. This is easier than it sounds. Discard wing tips and lay edible pieces in a single layer on paper towels to dry.





    HOT SAUCE: Melt 1 stick of the unsalted butter. Pour in the bottle of hot sauce and blend. Add 5 or 6 shakes each of onion and garlic powders. Cayenne is the fuel that makes these wings spicy. For mild wings add 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne. Real Centaurs will want to add cayenne generously. Go easy on your first batch though; it is simple to add more if they are not hot enough. Hot sauce should be kept warm while the wings are cooking, but should not boil or even simmer.





    COOKING: Heat vegetable oil in fryer per fryer manufacturer's directions. Cook 8 to 12 wings in a batch, depending on the size of your fryer. Gently lower wings into the hot oil with a slotted spoon to avoid splashing if your fryer has no basket. After they have cooked for about 15 seconds, stir to separate. Wings are done when the frying noise has abated somewhat and they are floating. Remove wings with basket or slotted spoon and shake off excess oil





    Transfer immediately to a plate with a folded paper towel on it. They should cool for a few seconds (usually enough time to put in another batch), before you dump them in the hot sauce mixture. Stir the hot sauce before adding each batch of cooked wings to blend ingredients that will have separated. Coat thoroughly, then remove each wing from the hot sauce with tongs and shake off excess. Serve immediately.





    If you have more wings than you can eat, cook them all because they will not keep. Besides, cold Buffalo wings are delicious, too, but don't try to reheat.





    Serve wings with blue cheese sauce in a small, personal dish and plenty of celery. The blue cheese is for dipping celery and wings. Don't forget the napkins.

    DEEP FRIED ONION RINGS





    6 med. Bermuda or mild white onions (about 2 1/2 lb.)


    1 slightly beaten egg


    1 c. milk


    3 tbsp. cooking oil


    1 c. plus 2 tbsp. flour


    1/2 tsp. salt


    Cooking oil for frying





    Peel and cut onions into 1/4 inch thick slices; separate into rings. Set aside.


    In medium bowl combine beaten egg, milk and 3 tablespoons oil. Blend in flour and salt just until moistened.





    Fill deep-fat fryer or 2 to 3 quart saucepan 1/3 to half full with cooking oil. Heat oil to 375 degrees. Using a fork, dip onion rings, one at a time, in batter to cover; let excess batter drip back into bowl. Working quickly, place each ring in hot oil. Fry rings, a few at a time, about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, stirring once with fork to separate rings. Remove from oil with fork or slotted spoon; drain on paper toweling.





    Repeat with remaining onion rings. Keep cooked rings warm on paper towel lined cookie sheets in a 250 degree oven. Sprinkle with salt just before serving. Serves 6-8. Freeze any leftover rings to use in omelets, vegetable dishes or on top of casseroles.Just purchased a deep fryer. Looking for a recipe to prepare hot %26amp; spicy chicken wings. ?
    Peanut oil or canola oil will not burn as easily as vegatable oil.





    My favorite is to salt and pepper the wings, fry the wings, let them cool a little, dip in butter and Franks Red Hot that is melted on the stove about 60/40 red hot/butter. MMMMmmmm good! You can come up with tons of different sauces, but toss the wings with sauce in a bowl after the wings have cooked. The key is to get the perfect wing in the fryer.





    You can make the wings ahead, then toss with your sauce and warm them in the oven at 250 for 10 minutes if you need to do it beforehand.





    Good Luck and Happy Holidays!





    These are not a breaded wing, they are the original type and very spicy and tangy.
    This is how I make my wings. You can bake off a whole bunch first and use as you want them or put them in the fryer strait from the oven. Some people like to put the wings in the fryer raw but then they worry so much about the wing being burned on the outside and still raw in the center. This solves that problem.





    When making wings I like to bake them first then fry them.





    Cut the tips off then cut at the next joint. Bake at 350 for about 20-30 minutes or until they are done. You can add them to the sauce of your choice now or fry them for about 2-3 minutes to get them real nice and crispy, drain the toss in your sauce.





    Also I like to bake mine first because then I can keep some in the fridge and/or freezer and then just drop them in hot oil to warm and crisp up.





    To make hot sauce. Here in the US there is a brand that is pretty common to start with. It is Franks Red Hot, doctor it up a bit and you end with with a good sauce. Here is how I doctor mine up.





    1 big bottle franks


    1/2 cup butter


    1-2 tablespoons itailian seasoning


    1-2 cloves grated garlic-optional





    Heat in sauce pan. I like to cool mine to about room temp then put it in food processor until it cools a little more. This makes it combine better for reheating.





    This also keeps well in an air tight conatiner in the fridge.


    ---------------





    Rhubarb B-B-Q---I understand not everyone has rhubarb on hand but this is good for future wings or what ever.





    Ingredients:


    1 heaping cup chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb


    2/3 cup water


    1 medium onion, finely chopped


    1 teaspoon canola oil


    1 garlic clove, minced


    3/4 cup ketchup


    1/2 cup packed brown sugar


    1/2 cup dark corn syrup


    2 tablespoons cider vinegar


    2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce


    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard


    1 1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce


    1/4 teaspoon salt











    In a small saucepan, bring rhubarb and water to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-6 minutes or until tender. Remove from the heat; cool slightly.





    Place rhubarb in a blender or food processor; cover and process until smooth. Set aside.





    In the same saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; saute 1 minute longer. Add the remaining ingredients.





    Whisk in rhubarb puree until blended. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Use as a basting sauce for grilled meats. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 2-1/3 cups.





    Or This is my Absolute Favorite for WIngs:





    Honey Soy Sauce:





    1/2 cup butter


    1 cup honey


    1 cup soy sauce


    1 cup terriyaki sauce


    1 tbsp seseme oil


    1 tsp fresh grated ginger





    Heat in a sauce pan until melted and combined. Keep unused portion in the fridge in an airtight container. Heat a little for each use.








    For rings make up a good beer batter, dredge the rings in plain flour then dip in the beer batter and fry. Here is my beer batter recipe:





    1 cup flour


    1 palmful sugar


    1 good pinch salt


    1 beer of choice (what ever you drink as long as it isn't a dark beer)





    Mix the dry ingrediants the slowly whisk in the beer. You wont use the whole beer right away. Just add it until you get the consistency you want. A ticker batter will result in a thicker (of course) batter that is puffier. A thinner batter with of course give a thinner crust bbut also a more crunchy one.





    Remove the baskets from the fryer and set aside. Dredge the onion in the flour first, then dip in the beer batter, gently wipe the bottom ot the ring on the egde of the bowl (gravity will re-cover it) Then dip the ring in the oil. Do only one ring at a timne and hold the ring in the oil for about 10-20 seconds. This helps to prevent the rings sticking together as they fry and and also from sticking to the bottom of the fryer.Also they will look better if you are trying to impress anyone. Reomve from the oil when the rings are golden brwon and float. Hook the baskets into the drain postion and put the rings in there to drain, then shake out on to brown paper bags or paper towels. Then put on serving platter.





    This batter also works well with shrimp mixed seafood, other veggies such as caulifloer, zucchini, mushrooms etc...

    add about 1 cup of cooked bacon (chopped)


    add about 1 1/2 choped jalapenos (if you like spicy food add more if not add less)

    Frijoles de Nuevo Mexico





    2 or 3 cups pinto beans

    1 medium onion, minced


    1 Tablespoon salt


    Water





    Pick through beans removing rocks. Put beans, bacon, onion and water in pressure cooker for fast beans, in slow cooker for all night cooking.





    Bring pressure up to 15 pounds and lower heat til guage just jiggles for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and cool til lid will come off. Put back on heat and add salt. Heat to simmer. If desired add some diced Chipotle to this now.





    In slow cooker, put on at high and ignore for 12 hours other than to add boiling water as needed. At end of 12 hours add salt and if desired Chipotle.





    I do not recommend adding the pepper if main dish is also peppered. You need a neutral.

    This must be an ';Americanized'; Korean dish, because I am Korean and this is not a common dish at all that I'm familiar with. I was just watching a show the other day on food network ';Guy's Big Bite';. He had a recipe for a Korean hot wings. There were ingredients that I normally don't use in true Korean cooking, but it looked like it would taste good. I made a note to try it myself this weekend.





    * 1 to 2 pounds chicken wings (about 12 whole wings) 1st and 2nd joint, no tips


    * 2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more for frying


    * 3 tablespoons grated ginger

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.





    Place the chicken wings on a baking sheet and cook in the oven for 35 minutes.

    In large sauce pot or fryer, heat 3-inches of the canola oil, or enough to prevent wings from touching the bottom of the pan, to 350 degrees F. Add the chicken wings to the oil and cook for about 3 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Remove the chicken wings from the oil and drain on paper towels.





    Add the wings to the sauce. Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.
