I was goin' to give you a recipe for chicken fingers, but the chickens around here ain't got any --just a few toes.


Roasting a Turkey

If someone had told me years ago that you cook a turkey this way, I would have laughed. But, after watching "Good Eats" with Alton Brown, his reasoning seemed sound. So, I cooked a turkey his way. Never in my life have I seen a turkey that was so moist all the way through.


I am posting his basic roasting directions. Whether you like to place aromatics into the cavity of the turkey is up to you.

A few minutes before roasting, heat oven to 500 degrees.  Tuck back wings and coat whole bird liberally with
Roast on lowest level of the oven at 500 degrees F. for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cover breast with double layer of aluminum foil, insert probe thermometer* into thickest part of the breast and return to oven, reducing temperature to 350 degrees F. Set thermometer alarm (if available) to 161 degrees. Let turkey rest, loosely covered for 15 minutes before carving.

*For about $20.00 dollars, you can buy a thermometer that will work as a timer for your cooking or as an alert when the internal temperature you selected has been achieved. You can usually find these theremometers at stores such as WalMart. They are the same one used by Alton Brown and after my son introduced me to this thermometer, I'd never go back to any other kind.

The Original Polder 362-90 Cooking Timer and Thermometer is the one I use.



 


Hillbilly Fried Chicken

1 chicken, cut up
1 cup flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 can beer

Cut up chicken and dip in beer.
Put flour and cornmeal into a brown paper bag, adding seasonings to taste.
Put chicken pieces in bag one at a time and shake. Fry in lard in a hot cast
iron skillet.
 



Oven Fried Chicken

1 (3 lb.) broiler-fryer, cut into serving pieces
1 c. flour (or more if needed)
2 tsp. paprika
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. pepper
1 stick margarine

Wash and coat chicken with seasoned flour. (Coat each
piece well on each side.) Melt margarine in a large, heavy iron
skillet (do not use any skillet other than iron). Arrange
chicken pieces in margarine with skin side down (if skinned,
with thickest side down). Bake 30 minutes in preheated 425°oven. Turn
chicken and bake an additional 20 minutes. Chicken
will be brown and crispy like regular fried chicken. Gravy can
be made with drippings.



This recipe makes me hungry thinkin' about it.

Extra Crisp Fried Chicken

1 large chicken, 4 lb., cut into pieces
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tbs. salt, or to taste
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 bunch parsley, rinsed and dried, for garnish

 "The trick to keeping the flour on the chicken is letting it sit, so
don't stint on the time.  Otherwise, all the spice will be left in the
pan and your chicken won't have its luscious crisp crunch.
...In fact, when the fat is at the right temperature--so drops of
water sizzle in it--the chicken will emerge crisp and light.  Drain it
on a brown paper bag (rather than paper towel, which tends to steam
the chicken), place it on a warmed platter and roll up your sleeves
for a great finger-licking meal.

Rinse the chicken well and pat it thoroughly dry.
Sift the flours and the spices together into a small paper bag, so
they are well mixed.  Drop the chicken, two or three pieces at a time,
into the bag, hold the bag closed, and shake it so the chicken is
thoroughly covered.  Transfer the chicken to a wire cake rack and let
it sit, refrigerated, for 2 hours, so the flour will adhere. Reserve
the remaining flour mixture.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Dredge the
chicken once more in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
When the oil is hot but not smoking, and a drop of water sprinkled
into the pan sizzles, add the chicken, making sure you do not crowd
the pan.  Cover, and cook until the chicken begins to turn brown,
about 8 minutes, reducing the heat slightly if necessary. Turn the
chicken, cover, and continue cooking until it is cooked through and
the juices from the thigh run clear when pricked with a fork, an
additional 10 minutes.

Arrange the chicken on a brown paper bag to drain, and leave it
for about 5 minutes.  Then transfer the chicken to a warmed serving
platter, garnish with the parsley and serve immediately.

Smothered Chicken

I feel like I've abused a chicken every time I see the title of this recipe.
Serve for breakfast with grits or biscuits or at dinner with rice and sweet potatoes

1  2 to 3 pound chicken, cut up
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
2 tsp. pepper
1/2 cup bacon drippings or vegetable shortening
1 small onion, diced
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1 3/4 cups hot water
1/2 cup half and half

Wash chicken. Combine flour and next four ingredients and coat chicken; shake off excess. Reserve any leftover seasoned flour, recoat chicken and refrigerate 1 hour.

In a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat, melt drippings or shortening. Shortening is sufficiently hot when a haze forms above it and a drop of water can dance across its surface. Reduce heat to medium, add chickens, and fry until the chicken is golden on all sides. Remove chicken to a paper towel covered platter.

Remove all but 1/4 cup of the oil from the pan. Add onion and bell pepper; saute until the onion is transparent. Add 1/4 cup of the reserved seasoned flour and brown it until dark golden. Add the hot water and
half and half to the pan. Stir until smooth. then return chicken to pan. Cover tightly and simmer over low heat until tender, approximately 25 to 30 minutes.

Makes 4 to 6 servings


Crispy Southern Fried Chicken

1/2 cup milk
1 egg,lightly beaten
2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp. paprika
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning (like Lawry’s or Old Bay)
1- 2 1/2 - 3 lb. frying chicken, cut up (or parts)
 

Combine the milk and egg in a medium bowl.  Combine the flour, paprika,
pepper, and poultry seasoning in a paper bag.  Add one piece of chicken
to the bag at a time and shake to coat.  Dip the chicken in the milk and
egg mixture, then shake a second time in the flour mixture.

To skillet fry (use a heavy iron skillet), place enough shortening in the skillet to come 1/2 to 1 inch up the sides of the pan.  Heat the shortening to about 365° in an electric skillet (or over medium high heat in a large heavy skillet).  Brown the chicken on all sides, then reduce the heat to 275°(or medium-low heat) and continue cooking until the chicken is tender, about 30 - 40 minutes turning the chicken several times.  (a lid can be placed on top of the pan during this time but should be removed during the last 10 minutes of cooking time to crisp the chicken).  Drain on paper towels.
