A good fried chicken recipe and some sides?

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! Jenn

You basic fried chicken recipe is simple. Take the chicken, wash it, cut off the fatty parts or leave them on. Put the chicken in a bowl and crack and egg into it. cover all the chicken. Then sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a plastic bag, transparent like a glad bag, mix flour and some spices. i don't know which spices, try googling them. and mix in this bag. Then put the chicken in the bag, shake, then pop in the fryer or frying pan. My mom has this large spice rack, and she just took a little bit of spice from all of it.

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.
sorry you got all them dumb answers from them. but what i do is just put some garlic (or whatever seasoning you may like) on the chicken and put it in a pot of oil and fry it..a good side i like to have with it is mashed potatoes with crushed pineapple in it or some pieces of sliced turkey..mmm so goooodd. ;)..good luck on sunday!
Your favorite fella is your dish and men are the chicken if you did not know only FYI so your guy with some whip cream and strawberry's ; I think it will be awesome. Everybody else, O, bake a chicken, while your doing the above, get the rest at a deli, and put in pretty bowls. Thanksgiving is coming make it easy on yourself.
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. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/fried-chicken-recipe/index.html http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/aaron-mccargo/funky-fried-chicken-recipe/index.html Enjoy!

Sign In or Create your Recipe Box 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. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/fried-chicken-recipe/index.html Peanut Butter Cheese Cake Minis Recipe courtesy Paula Deen Show: Paula's Home CookingEpisode: Game Night (Appetizers) * RECIPE * COMMENTS & REVIEWS(330) * Cook Time 20 min * Level Easy * Yield 12 cakes Close Times: Prep 15 min Inactive Prep -- Cook 20 min Total: 35 min Recipe Tools: * Print Recipe * Get Card * Save Recipe x Select a Card Size * CARD3x5 card * CARD4x6 card x Add To My Recipe Box Add To Or Create New Folder Please limit to 20 characters Adding Recipe Adding Recipe Add Or Do Not Add Success This recipe was added to your Folder_Name folder.

Southern Fried Chicken Recipe Probably the number one main course served in the South, Southern Fried Chicken is a mainstay of Southern Cooking. Here is an authentic Southern recipe that is easy to make. Fried Chicken Ingredients Fresh, cut-up chicken 2 cups flour 1 tablespoon salt 1/2 tablespoon black pepper 1 whole egg 3/4 cup milk Cooking oil as required http://www.olsouthrecipes.com/friedchicken.html READ MORE Southern Fried Okra http://www.olsouthrecipes.com/okra.html Southern Green Beans Recipe http://www.olsouthrecipes.com/beans.html
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.
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!
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 1/4cups 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
