I have a few recipes up my sleeve.

Fake Fried Chicken:

Coat whichevre pieces of chicken you would usually fry in beaten egg. Then coat in flour with whichever spices and herbs you choose to add. (You can double batter if you like)

Place on a cookie sheet or casserole dish. Bake in oven on 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until cooked all the way through. When Done, Chicken should be moist with a crunchy breaded layer, just like frying, but without the oil or fat.


Southern Style Chicken and Dumplings.

Boil 5-10 large chicken thighs or breasts until cooked or falling off bone.
Hard boil 5-7 eggs.

Make dumplings:

There are three ways to do this:
1. Use Grands Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits, roll in flour, flatten, cut into strips. (some people prefer small balls of dough instead of strips)

2. Make a bread dough using a dough batter like Bisquick using the directions on the box, then flatten and cut into strips.

3. Make dough from scratch by combining flour, water, salt, egg, and other ingredients used to make generic dough.

Brint the broth from the boiled chicken to a boil. You should use about 1/2 to 3/4 of what is left in the pot after boiling the chicken. (The pot should now be about 1/2 full of broth)

Remove the skin and bones from the chicken, break meat into smaller pieces, add to boiling broth. Remove the shell from the hard boiled eggs, chop eggs into small pieces, add to broth. Drop dumplings one at a time, remembering to stir the pot continuously. (You can drop a little flour at a time into the pot while it is boiling to thinken the broth if you would like.)

After the dumplings have soaked up the water they are going to, reduce heat and add spices and herbs to taste. I usually use salt, garlic powder, onion powder, a pinch of oregano, and a pinch of rosemary for a wonderful scent.

Let cool for a bit, then serve in a bowl with a touch or oregano on top.
