Chicken
I
found out recently that not everybody likes chicken. What? That's hard to believe!
Anyway here's some recipes on how to cook chicken other than the traditional baking,
and some leftover chicken recipes.
This is my own version of fried chicken, which I have been frying it this way for years. I don't care for the heavy battered fried chicken, and when we go to Kentucky Fried Chicken we always get the Original chicken. So this recipe is more like the Original.
How to Fry Chicken
- 1
frying chicken cutup, excess fat and skin removed
- Toss in a bag of flour and
shake them up.
- Heat 1/2 inch of oil till hot. - Test with a drop of water
- Place
chicken in - skin side down
- Let fry uncovered for 15 minutes, then turn with
2 forks
- Let brown on other side 15 minutes
- Turn heat to low and cover with
a lid and cook for another half hour.
- Remove from pan and drain on paper towels
Tip:
If you prefer a heavier crust, then shake the chicken in flour, then dip in a
bowl with a beaten egg and a little milk. Dip the floured pieces in the egg to
coat then put back in the flour and shake up again. So it's actually twice coated.
You can add seasonings to the flour if you want. Any excess flour left in the
bag you can roll the bag up and put it in the freezer till the next time you cook
fried chicken.
Alabama Fried Chicken
This recipe for Alabama Fried Chicken uses buttermilk to dip the chicken in before flouring.

Recipes for Chicken baked in the oven!
Bisquick Oven Fried Chicken
1 tablespoon margarine
or butter
2/3 cup Bisquick
1 1/2
tsp. paprika
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 1/2 to 3 1/2 lb chicken,
cut up
Heat oven to 425. Melt margarine in rectangular pan 13x9x2. Mix
paprika, salt and pepper, coat chicken. Place chicken skin side down in pan. Bake
uncovered 35 min. Turn bake until done about 15 min. Makes 6 servings. Higher
altitude bake 40 min, turn and bake 20 min.
Garlic Crumb Chicken
This Garlic Crumb Chicken is one of my baked chicken recipes that is worth the extra preparation time because it is so good. As I said, it's oven baked, and you remove the chicken skin because you don't need the extra calories. Originally I found it in an old magazine. They called it a dieter's delight.
1 chicken cut
up and skinned
1 cup crushed corn flakes
1 tablespoon parsley leaves
1/2
teaspoon basil
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon
pepper
1/4 cup of milk in a bowl
Put the dry ingredients in a bowl
and stir well.
Dip the pieces of chicken in the milk and then in the seasoned
cereal coating all sides well. Place in a baking pan and bake 30 minutes at 350
degrees
Carefully turn them over and bake for 30 minutes more or until tender.
My Note: The trick to these being so tasty is the basil. I have tried this recipe without the basil, (because I couldn't find it) and it didn't taste the same. I even used bread crumbs one time and it probably would have been just as good if I would have had the basil.
This recipe is a good way to use up a box
of stale corn flakes as well. Put the cornflakes in a baggie and roll it with
a rolling pin or heavy glass. Freeze any leftover crumbs for the next time you
make this chicken recipe.
