Hi to all! This is the weekly cooking thread for this weekend, and I am one of the substitutes for Jamestown1630. I'm sorry I didn't start yesterday, but, well, how do I say this?? I forgot. And I am sorry. But here we are.
What is going on in your kitchens this week? There are a lot of sports on TV this weekend so I decided to make a bunch of fried chicken, great to eat right out of the fryer, but also good cold. I bought a bunch of winglets and some drumsticks.
I took a glass 13x9 pan, and mixed a cup of flour, a cup of water, 2 eggs, salt, pepper in it. It's goopy which sticks really well. Then in a big ziplock bag, I put 2.5 c flour, more salt and pepper, 2 tbsp garlic powder, 2 tbsp smoked paprika.
Heated up my deep fryer. You can use a heavy pan with oil in it too. Dipped my chicken into the goop, then into the flour bag, then in batches into the fryer.
I love using brown paper grocery bags for post-frying. They soak up better than anything. More salt over the chicken and there you go. The guys motored a lot of them up, but some is left For tomorrow's NHL Allstars game.
Oh, for those of you still doing wonderfully on your purely healthy new year eating plan, just skip the above, LOL.
What else is cooking in your house?
Nuthin better than cold meatloaf sammiches.
Ping to this week’s cooking thread! I’m looking forward to all of your yummy ideas.
To the person who added the greens in bacon jam recipe, it has become a weekly staple for us! It’s so yummy and I love to get plenty of greens in. Thank you so much, whoever you were.
Did you ever try a big messy fried egg sandwich? Also good.
See, I would want a lot of stuff on it to make it messy, but for me the eggs can’t be runny. I one of THOSE people who needs the eggs to be solid inside. But yeah, that’s the idea!
Oh yeah.
Kinda hard to beat a big pot of homemade chili! This is a staple especially for the Super Bowl. I make mine with hot Italian sausage as well as ground chuck, lots of spices, garlic, onions and bell pepper, a can or two of Ro-Tel tomatoes with chilies, tomato sauce, paste and diced tomatoes, too. What REALLY makes it special is having side bowls of shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and chopped green onions for each person to add to their bowls. I even won first place when our yacht club had its first chili cook off contest many years ago!
Your fried chicken sure sounds good!
One of my all time favorites. I may just have to make one soon.
Come on over! It’s a decent recipe. The batter stays on the chicken well.
Yum, your fried chicken recipe sounds good. And you make it sound almost easy!
I would, but it’s just a bit far. If I leave now, I’ll be there.....Tuesday?
I’ll prop the door open for ya. ;)
The fryer is kinda cheating! It’s pretty easy.
We made green curry. Not for sports but just because!
I want catfish and greens
That looks yummo
