Southern Fried Chicken Batter

Nicole
 
I found this recipe by looking online for the ultimate fried chicken breading. I think I have found the holy grail of fried chicken breading/batter. This recipe reminds me of KFC, but probably better. I have now used it twice, and just love it. The flavors just pop out! You can find the original recipe here.
Ingredients:
  • 2 beaten egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 4 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
Directions:
1.      Beat the egg and milk together in a bowl.
2.     Combine the flour with the garlic salt, pepper, poultry seasoning and paprika in a big plastic bag.
3.     Put the chicken in the bag, seal it and shake to coat it.
4.     Dip the flour-coated chicken in the egg mixture and again in the flour mixture.
5.     Heat the oil in a skillet to 365 degrees F. Brown the chicken on all sides in the hot oil.
6.     Turn the heat down to medium low and give the chicken another half an hour or until it is cooked through.
7.     Drain it on paper towels and serve.

Microwave Potato Chips

Nicole
This is a fun recipe, but it is time consuming. You can only put so many chips in the microwave at the same time, or they will take forever to cook. Also make sure that your rounds are cut the same thickness, if not some will be over cooked, and some will be under cook. This recipe is great, but it take a long time to make enough for a family to eat.
Ingredients:
  • 3-4 medium potatoes
  • No stick cooking spray
  • Season Salt, or you choice of seasoning

Directions:
  1. Scrub potatoes and cut into 1/16-in.-thick slices.
  2. Spray the slices on both sides with no stick cooking spray and lightly sprinkle season salt.
  3. Arrange on a microwave safe plate, or the plate inside your microwave (do not overlap).
  4. Microwave on high for 3 minutes; turn and microwave 3 minutes longer or until chips are dry and brittle. If you have a turning tray in your microwave then cook for 6 minutes total without flipping the chips
  5. Repeat with remaining potatoes, oil and seasonings.
  6. Let chips cool for at least 1 minute before serving.

Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits-Top Secret Version

Nicole

This is a good recipe, but my biscuits seemed to turn out a little dry. They didn’t want to get done in the middle, then the outside seemed too done. Next time I plan on making them smaller so they will cook a little more evenly. The flavor is excellent.

Ingredients

Brush on top

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Combine Bisquick and cold butter. Don’t combine too thoroughly. There should be small chunks of butter about the size of peas.
  3. Add cheddar, milk and 1/4 tsp garlic.
  4. Mix by hand until combined, but don’t over mix.
  5. Drop 9 equal portions onto greased cookie sheet.
  6. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until tops are light brown.
  7. Melt 2 tbsp butter in a bowl. Stir in 1/2 tsp garlic powder and parsley flakes.
  8. Use a pastry brush to spread garlic butter over tops of biscuits.
