MOM'S OLD FASHIONED FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Put the flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a brown paper bag. One by one, coat the chicken parts with mixture.
• In a large skillet, fry the chicken in 1 inch of hot oil until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and drain the oil.
• Put the chicken back into the pan and cover the pieces with cooking sherry. Cover the pan and reduce to simmer. Let simmer for 20 minutes. Serve.

THE ULTIMATE CHICKEN FRIED STEAK

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, whisk together flour, one teaspoon black pepper, one teaspoon salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
• In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together buttermilk , TABASCO® Sauce, and eggs. Set aside.
• Pat cube steaks dry with a paper towel, removing as much moisture as possible. Season with one teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of pepper. Let sit for 5 minutes and pat dry again with paper towel.
• Dredge the cube steaks in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dredge in the buttermilk-egg mixture, letting excess drip off, and then once again in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
• Place breaded cube steaks on a sheet pan or metal rack and press any of the remaining flour mixture into the cube steaks making sure that the entire steak is completely coated. Let sit for 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 225 to 250 F.
• Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet or large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. How much oil you need depends on the size of your skillet. You want it to be about 1/4-inch deep. We aren't deep frying the steaks, just shallow frying.
• Test the oil by dropping a bit of the breading into in. The oil should sizzle and bubble around the breading. Look for the oil to be glistening but not smoking - about 320-340 degrees F. Now we're ready to fry.
• Place two steaks into the pan at a time and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Do not flip more than once or the breading will fall off. Do not fry more than two steaks or the pan will be too crowded and the breading will fall off.
• Remove steaks from pan and drain on paper towels. Place in preheated oven. Turn skillet heat to medium.

CHICKEN STIR FRY RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium size bowl, whisk together corn starch and water. Add remaining ingredients (chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, and toasted sesame oil, red pepper flakes) and whisk to combine. Set aside.
• Add one tablespoon of olive oil to a large skillet or wok and heat over medium high heat.
• Add chicken (in batches if necessary) and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from skillet.
• Reduce heat to medium and add remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet.
• Add broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, just until crisp tender. Add ginger and garlic and cook for an additional minute.
• Add chicken back into the skillet and stir to combine.
• Whisk stir fry sauce and pour over chicken and vegetables and stir gently to combine.
• Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and let boil for one minute.

MOM'S FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss chicken with buttermilk and salt. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
• In a large deep skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 inch oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, mix flour, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Remove dark meat from buttermilk, shake off excess, and roll in flour mixture. Shake off excess flour, place in hot oil, and fry about 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally. (Adjust heat, as needed.) Drain on a paper towel-lined platter.
• Reheat oil to 360 degrees F. Repeat with chicken breasts and wings, frying about 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter. Serve hot or at room temperature.

MOM'S FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• The times in the instructions are based on using the type of pan shown in the blog. Cast iron and other types of pans will have different frying times...
• Add oil to the pan, on medium heat. The amount will depend on the size of the pan. Estimate just less than half the depth of the chicken.
• Add a stick of butter to the pan.
• Wait until the oil/butter is hot. To test, flick a small amount of water into the pan. If the oil sizzles, it's hot enough.
• In the meantime, add flour, onion powder, pepper and salt to a gallon size baggie. Mix well.
• Add drumsticks to the baggie and shake well until fully coated.
• When oil is hot, place the chicken in the pan and put the lid on it.
• Now leave it alone for about a half an hour. Lifting the lid lets the heat escape. It's tempting but don't do it. You'll know when it's time by listening to the chicken. Frying is loud. When it starts to quiet down, the frying is done on that side.
• Using tongs, gently turn the chicken over. You may need to test to make sure the batter hasn't stuck to the bottom of the pan. If it has, gently use the tongs to release the batter before turning.
• The second side doesn't take as long. Start listening for the quieting sounds at about 20 minutes.
• When the chicken is crisp and brown on both sides, remove from the pan and place on a rack to allow the oil to drip off the chicken.
• Serve and enjoy!

MOM'S BAKED FRIED CHICKEN AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Make chicken:
• Soak chicken in milk to cover for 20 to 30 minutes. Spray a baking dish (one that will accommodate all the chicken pieces comfortably in one layer) with nonstick vegetable-oil spray.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Put the butter in the baking dish and heat it in the oven until the butter melts. Mix flour and seasonings together in paper sack or plastic baggie (1-gallon size). Shake each piece of chicken in seasoned flour. Place chicken pieces, skin-side down, in baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn chicken over and bake an additional 20 minutes or until cooked through and crispy. Remove chicken and set aside in a warm place.
• Make gravy:
• Sauté the scallions and mushrooms in the drippings over medium high heat, until soft. Mix the seasoned flour with milk first until you see no lumps. Whisk milk mixture into the sautéing onions and mushrooms. Taste and add bouillon cube, if desired (You may want to use additional milk if you do). Boil until thickened to preferred consistency. Put into a gravy dish and serve alongside the baked chicken.
