Our dinner tonight ~ I absolutely love to cook – Jonah was so impressed with the skin on the chicken, LOL:)
Here is the recipe for the fried chicken and crockpot red potatoes ~ they are delicious:)
FRIED CHICKEN
INGREDIENTS:
Chicken
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour for coating
1 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
DIRECTIONS:
1. Take your chicken pieces. Put the flour in a large plastic bag. Season the flour with paprika, salt and pepper to taste (paprika helps to brown the chicken ~ IT IS AMAZING).
2. Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk, then put a few of them in the bag with the flour, seal the bag and shake to coat well. Place the coated chicken on a cookie sheet or tray, and cover with a clean dish towel. LET SIT UNTIL THE FLOUR IS OF A PASTE-LIKE CONSISTENCY. THIS IS CRUCIAL and TAKES ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES (if you don’t do this the coating will NOT stick)
3. Fill a large skillet (cast iron is best) about 1/2 full with vegetable oil. Heat until VERY hot. Put in as many chicken pieces as the skillet can hold. Brown the chicken in HOT oil on both sides. When browned, reduce heat and cover skillet; let cook for 30 minutes (the chicken will be cooked through but not crispy). Remove cover, raise heat again and continue to fry until crispy.
4. Drain the fried chicken on paper towels. Depending on how much chicken you have, you may have to fry in a few shifts. Keep the finished chicken in a slightly warm oven while preparing the rest.
CROCKPOT RED POTATOES
INGREDIENTS:
5 pounds red potatoes, cut into chunks
1 tablespoon minced garlic
4-5 cubes chicken bouillon
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 stick butter
salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook the potatoes, garlic, and bouillon until potatoes are tender but firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, reserving water. In a bowl, mash potatoes with sour cream and cream cheese, adding reserved water as needed to attain desired consistency.
2. Transfer the potato mixture to a slow cooker, cover, and cook on Low for 2 to 3 hours. Just before serving, stir in butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.
