A good fried chicken recipe and some sides?

Question

I am not a very good cook but I am learning, can someone give me a good recipe for fried chicken and some good side dishes, or just a good chicken dish in general. Any recipes for dessert would be awesome as well. I am trying to make a nice dinner for my family Sunday. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Here is a good fried chicken recipe(my wife and kids love it)ENJOY!



SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN



INGREDIENTS:



Buttermilk pulls double duty in this recipe, providing flavor and tenderizing the chicken. Although the

recipe traditionally calls for lard, shortening is a fine substitute. Serves 4 to 6.



INGREDIENTS:



3 1/2- to 4-lb. chicken, cut into 8 pieces



2 cups buttermilk



1 tsp. black pepper, divided



1/4 tsp. salt



1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour



1 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt, such as Lawry's



1 lb. lard (or solid vegetable shortening)



1/2 cup (1 stick) butter



Step 1



Rinse the chicken pieces and blot them with paper towels. In a large bowl combine the buttermilk, 1/4

teaspoon of black pepper and the salt, and stir to combine.



Step 2



Add the chicken pieces and turn to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight,

turning the pieces occasionally.



Step 3



Combine the flour, seasoned salt and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon of black pepper in a shallow baking

dish and blend well. Line a baking sheet with three layers of paper towels and place it near the stove.



Step 4



Put the lard and butter in a large cast-iron frying pan or pot big enough to hold the chicken pieces in

one layer without touching. Melt over medium-high heat. The fat should be about 1/2-inch deep.



Step 5



Heat until it registers 365 degrees on a candy thermometer or until a small cube of bread dropped in

the oil browns in about 1 minute.



Step 6



Using tongs, remove the thighs from the marinade, draining well. Dredge them in the flour mixture,

turning to coat evenly. Shake off any excess flour. Place them skin-side down in the center of the pan.



Step 7



Coat the remaining pieces in the same way and add them to the pan in a single layer without touching.

Work in batches if necessary.



Step 8



Don't move the chicken for about 5 minutes or until the coating is set and looks firm. Check the

underside by lifting with the tongs--it should be deep golden. Cook the pieces between 8 and 20

minutes (depending on size), turning them periodically until crispy brown and cooked through.



Step 9



To test, cut into the thickest part of a piece. The juices should run clear and the meat should be opaque

throughout. Place on the paper-lined baking sheet to drain.



Step 10



Arrange the chicken pieces on a platter and serve hot, room temperature or cold.

( AND HERE IS ANOTHER ONE JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN'T LIKE THE FIRST ONE)



3 1/2- to 4-lb. chicken, cut into 8 pieces

1 tablespoon Sugar

1 1/2 cups Self-rising flour

1/2 cup Cornstarch

3 teaspoons Seasoned salt

2 teaspoons Paprika

1/2 teaspoon Baking soda

1/2 cup Biscuit mix

1 Env Italian Dressing Mix

1 Env Onion soup mix

-----TO USE-----

2 Eggs -- mix with

1/4 cup Cold water

1 cup Corn oil



Combine all ingredients in a 4-cup container. Mix to blend the

ingredients thoroughly. Store tightly covered at room temperature up to

3 months. TO USE-Dip the chicken pieces in egg mixture and then into

dry coating mix and back into egg to coat the pieces evenly but lightly

and finally back into dry mix. Have oil piping hot in heavy skillet.

Brown pieces skin-side down for 4 to 6 minutes. Use medium high heat.

Turn and brown underside of pieces a few minutes. Transfer to an oiled

or Pam-sprayed 9x12x2 pan. Cover pan in foil, sealing it on only 3 side

of pan. Bake 350~ for about 45 to 50 minutes. Remove foil. Bake another

5 minutes just to crisp the coating. Serves 4

Answer 2

If you're a new cook, and making a nice dinner for your family, I really wouldn't suggest fried chicken - it's kind of an acquired skill. I'll give you a recipe that I gave my friend Kim, who's idea of cooking is calling Pizza Hut, and she aces this recipe every time. It's not only easy, but very wonderful this time of year. Chicken Pot Pie...



2 1/2 cups of cooked chicken, diced in bite sized pieces



3 potatoes, cut them into bite sized pieces, then boil them until tender, about 12 minutes



2 cups of cooked broccoli, bite sized pieces (you can do this in the microwave, put in a dish with a small amount of water and cover, microwave 8 minutes on high.



1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar



2 cans of cream of chicken soup (or mushroom or celery, whichever you prefer)



2 Pillsbury brand pie crusts (2 come in a box, and you get them where you buy canned biscuits)



Ready for the easiness?



Mix the chicken, potatoes, broccoli, 1 cup of the cheese, and both cans of soup. Salt and Pepper this to taste.



Now, get a 9x9 or 8x8 baking dish, put the first pie crust in that dish, and bake for about 10 minutes on 400 (or whatever the box says, can't remember). Once that's out of the oven and browned, add all of the mixed ingredients into the crust. Spread the rest of the 1/2 cup cheddar over the chicken mixture, then add the other pie crust to the top. Use a sharp knife and poke several holes in the crust, then brush the crust with egg whites, or you can even opt to spray it with cooking spray. Now, back on 350 for 25 minutes or so. Everyone will love this awesome comfort food, and the best part is it's so easy!



I hope you have a wonderful day on Sunday!

Answer 3

Kentucky Fried Chicken This chicken is fried in a pressure cooker. 12 pieces 1¼ hours 10 min prep 1 egg, beaten 2 cups milk 2 cups all-purpose flour 4 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons black pepper 1 teaspoon msg (monosodium glutamate-you can use Accent Flavor Enhancer) 6 cups Crisco cooking oil 2 frying chickens, with skin, each cut into 6 pieces In a small bowl combine the egg and milk. In a seperate bowl, combine the remaining four dry ingredients. Dip each piece of chicken into the milk mixture until fully moistened. Roll the moistened chicken into the flour mixture until completely coated. Pour the oil into the pressure cooker and heat over medium heat to about 400. In groups of 4 or 5, drop the chicken pieces into the oil and lock the lid into place. When the steam begins shooting through the pressure release, set the timer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, release the pressure according to manufactuer's instruct ions, and remove the chicken to paper towels or a metal rack to drain. Repeat with remaining chicken. TIDBIT: If you prefer not to use MSG, you may substitute an additional 1/2 TBS. of salt. Be aware however that using MSG produces the best clone of KFC's fried chicken.

You basic fried chicken recipe is simple. Take the chicken, wash it, cut off the fatty parts or leave them on.

My mom has this large spice rack, and she just took a little bit of spice from all of it.

Answer 7

Hi Jenn,



There are two recipies that I love. They are on the food network. Here are the links. THe first one is from Alton Brown and the second is from Arron Mccargo Jr. I have tried both and they are pretty equal in taste. One tip, season your chicken well, and make sure you add salt to it. That will stop the blood from coming up when you cook it.

Enjoy!

Answer 8

When I make fried chicken I just take thawed chicken breasts, put salt and pepper on both sides and some oregano on one side. Then I crack a couple eggs, scramble them with a fork, and put some flour on a plate, dip the chicken in the raw eggs, then the flour, then the eggs again, and then the flour again. Put it in a pan on medium heat with hot oil 7-10 minutes on each side (I usually do 7 - you should be able to tell by the darkness of the skin). Very delicious!!



With fried chicken, baked macaroni and cheese is good:



*Ingredients

4 cups cooked elbow macaroni, drained

2 cups grated cheddar cheese

3 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup sour cream

4 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk



*Directions



Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.



Once you have the macaroni cooked and drained, place in a large bowl and while still hot and add the cheddar. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and add to the macaroni mixture. Pour macaroni mixture into a casserole dish and bake for 30 to 45 minutes. Top with additional cheese if desired.







Another chicken recipe I like to make that everyone in my family likes is No Peak Chicken:



6 pieces chicken

1 c. rice



On a baking dish put rice on bottom. Place chicken on top of rice. Add 1 can of chicken broth and 1 can of mushroom soup diluted with 1/2 can water over chicken. Then sprinkle on a package of dried onion soup. Cover and bake 325 degrees for 2 hours - don't peak!!!









Some desserts I often make:



A very, very simple one is Chocolate Eclair Cake:



2 sm. pkgs. french vanilla instant pudding

3 c. milk

1 (8 oz.) Cool Whip

1 pkg. regular graham crackers



Make vanilla pudding with just 3 cups of milk. Mix Cool Whip with pudding. Layer in a 9 x 13 inch pan as follows: layer whole graham crackers, then 1/2 pudding/Cool Whip mixture, then layer graham crackers, then other 1/2 of pudding/Cool Whip mixture, then top with graham crackers (one layer). Frost with chocolate frosting (Betty Crocker is fine) for Eclair Cake. Cover and let it chill for 24 hours in refrigerator.











Chocolate pudding cake:



*Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 tablespoons cocoa

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup milk

2 tablespoons melted shortening

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

*Sauce:

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup cocoa

1 cup hot water



Preparation:

Sift flour with dry ingredients; stir in milk and shortening. Add pecans and vanilla. Mix until well combined then pour into a generously greased 8 x 8-inch square pan. Combine sauce ingredients; pour over cake batter. Bake the cake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for 40 minutes. Set on a rack to cool slightly (do not remove the cake from the pan). The fudgy sauce will end up on the bottom of the pan. Serve hot or cold.

Answer 9

Use chicken breasts.

Dredge the chicken breasts in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.

Brown in olive oil in a frying pan until cooked thoroughly.



Serve with Rice.



Melt butter in a pot, add onions and saute until softened. add vegetable broth (about 2 cups) and 2 cups of water. Add 2 cups of white rice (20 minute kind). cover and simmer until rice is cooked. Add spices as desired.



Serve with steamed baby carrots with butter and lemon dill spice.



Sorry, I'm not good with dessert.

Ingredients



* 1 broiler/fryer chicken, cut into 8 pieces

* 2 cups low fat buttermilk

* 2 tablespoons kosher salt

* 2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika

* 2 teaspoons garlic powder

* 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

* Flour, for dredging

* Vegetable shortening, for frying



Directions



Place chicken pieces into a plastic container and cover with buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.



Melt enough shortening (over low heat) to come just 1/8-inch up the side of a 12-inch cast iron skillet or heavy fry pan. Once shortening liquefies raise heat to 325 degrees F. Do not allow oil to go over 325 degrees F.



Drain chicken in a colander. Combine salt, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Liberally season chicken with this mixture. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess.



Place chicken skin side down into the pan. Put thighs in the center, and breast and legs around the edge of the pan. The oil should come half way up the pan. Cook chicken until golden brown on each side, approximately 10 to 12 minutes per side. More importantly, the internal temperature should be right around 180 degrees. (Be careful to monitor shortening temperature every few minutes.)



Drain chicken on a rack over a sheet pan. Don't drain by setting chicken directly on paper towels or brown paper bags. If you need to hold the chicken before serving, cover loosely with foil but avoid holding in a warm oven, especially if it's a gas oven.
