Crispy Southern Fried Chicken

by 247tasty August 17, 2021

Prep time: 1 hr 15 mins | Cook time: 30 mins | Serves: 4-6

Fried Chicken is a must at home! The kids prefer fried chicken more than anything else. And this easy Crispy Southern Fried Chicken recipe is one to keep. I removed the skin from the chicken pieces before breading them. This is optional, and you can skip it. And the breading certainly coated the chicken to the bone with its perfect flavour. I am one hundred per cent sure your family will love this!

Ingredients

1 fryer chicken, cut up or your favourite pieces (I use about 4 to 6 bone-in chicken thighs)
2 tablespoons salt
2 cups water
1 1/2 to 2 cups milk
1 large egg
1 to 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons chicken soup base
2 teaspoons Paul Prudhomme’s poultry magic or other poultry seasonings (optional)
canola oil for frying

How to make Crispy Southern Fried Chicken

Step 1: Dissolve 2 tbsp salt in about 2 cups of water in a large plastic container.

Step 2: This is optional but if you want to remove the skin from the chicken you can. Then, place the chicken pieces in the container. If needed, you can extra water, so the chicken pieces are covered. Put the lid on and sit the chicken in the fridge for at least an hour.

Step 3: Into a bowl, pour the milk. Add the egg and beat using a fork until smooth. Set aside.

Step 4: Add the flour, seasonings, and soup base to a different bowl. Using a fork, mix well.

Step 5: In the flour mixture, dredge the pieces of chicken, then coat them in the milk and egg mixture and roll in the flour mixture again.

Step 6: Pour about an inch deep of oil in a large, deep iron skillet and heat to approximately 375 degrees. Once the oil reached the required temperature, add the chicken pieces to the skillet and fry for about 7 to 8 minutes on each side until the juices run clear. Make sure to do this in batches to not overcrowd the pan. To a serving platter, transfer the fried chicken. Alternately, you can fry the chicken pieces in a deep fryer set to 350 degrees. Fry a few pieces at a time for approximately 15 minutes until the juices run clear.

ALTERNATE METHOD:

1. Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees.

2. In hot oil in a cast-iron skillet, brown the pieces of chicken.

3. To a broiler pan well greased with cooking spray, transfer the chicken and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 20 minutes or so until the juices run clear.

4. Take the chicken from the oven when done and transfer them to a serving platter.

ZUCCHINI AND BACON SLICE

by 247tasty August 11, 2021

written by 247tasty

Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 40 mins | Total time: 50 mins | Yield: 9 SLICES

This is a super versatile dish with zucchini and bacon. A delightful meal perfect for breakfast, lunch, even dinner. And you can serve this hot or cold.

INGREDIENTS

2 Zucchini, grated
1 Carrot, grated
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Brown / Yellow Onion, diced
2 Bacon Slices / Rashers, diced
½ Red Capsicum / Bell Pepper, diced
5 eggs, lightly whisked
¼ c. Milk
1 c. Self-Raising Flour
1 ¼ c. Grated Cheddar Cheese
Salt and Pepper, to taste

HOW TO MAKE ZUCCHINI AND BACON SLICE

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 180 degrees C or 350 degrees F. And using baking paper, line a square 9 x 9-inch or 23 x 23 cm baking dish.

Step 2: Into a colander, grate the zucchini and carrot, then sprinkle with salt. Allow the grated zucchini and carrot to sit for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3: In the meantime, heat a tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and bacon to the pan and cook until golden, stirring. Take off the heat and let the onion and bacon mixture cool a little.

Step 4: Squeeze as much moisture out of the zucchini and carrot with your hands. In a large mixing bowl, place the zucchini and carrot along with the capsicum/pepper, onion, bacon, 1 cup cheese, and flour. Mix well before adding the eggs, milk, the rest of the oil, salt, and pepper. Mix again until everything is incorporated.

Step 5: Into the prepared tray, pour the mixture, smooth the top, and sprinkle with the reserved 1/4 cup of cheese. Place in the prepared oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes until thoroughly cooked and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven when done and allow to cool before slicing into squares.

NOTES:

1. In place of self-rising flour, you can use a mixture of plain or all-purpose flour and baking powder. The proportion is a cup of flour to 2 tsp baking powder.

2. Allow the slice to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container and store them for up to 5 days or up to 3 months in the freezer.

3. For best result, DO NOT SKIP draining the moisture from the zucchini. Make sure to grate the zucchini and the carrot together. After grating them, place them into a colander or a clean kitchen towel to wring out the excess moisture.

4. You can add whatever veggies you have in your hands, such as mushrooms or corn.

5. Instead of bacon, you can use ham. If using ham, there is no need to fry, just add it to the bowl with the onion and the rest of the ingredients.

Flavorful Tender Italian Baked Chicken

by 247tasty August 10, 2021

written by 247tasty

Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 20 mins | Total time: 30 mins | Servings: 4

No more oil splatters and hot kitchen with this moist, flavorful, and tender Italian Baked Chicken. Incredibly simple and quick to make using only five ingredients. It’s incredible as is, but feel free to add some spices to the mayo mixture if desired, such as thyme, rosemary, oregano, and dried parsley. And to make sure the chicken is crispy, flip them during the last five minutes of cooking. Enjoy these delicious Italian baked chicken with your favourite side for a filling meal perfect for everybody!

This is a five-star recipe, a keeper, and a must! The first time I made this, I seldom go back to frying chicken because it is more convenient and tastes the same with crisp, well-seasoned breading. You can substitute bread crumbs with crushed croutons if desired. I guarantee it is crunchier, but if croutons are not available that’s okay, just stick to bread crumbs. Also, I suggest you try dipping the chicken in Italian dressing instead of mayo as it makes the chicken stays moist and tender. Again, these are fantastic substitutions that you can try or you can simply follow this easy recipe. Either way, this Italian Baked Chicken is going to be a huge hit!

Ingredients

¾ c. mayonnaise
½ c. grated Parmesan cheese
¾ tsp garlic powder
¾ c. Italian seasoned bread crumbs
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

How to make Flavorful Tender Italian Baked Chicken

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 425 degrees F or 220 degrees C.

Step 2: Combine the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder in a bowl. And in a different bowl, place the bread crumbs. Into the mayonnaise mixture, dip the chicken and coat them in bread crumbs. Then, on a baking sheet, arrange the coated chicken.

Step 3: Place in the preheated oven and bake the chicken for about 20 minutes or until their juices run clear and the coating turned golden brown.
