Oven Fried Chicken

 Who doesn't love fried chicken!!!  This is the first time I've made it this way.  I usually Fry it in my electric skillet with a TON of oil.  This time I baked it.  The seasonings I've added gave it such good flavor, my husband loved it over my regular fried chicken.  I don't like to boast, but my regular fried chicken is pretty darn awesome.  This was delicious.

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp Butter
• 1 Cup flour
• 3 Tbsp taco seasoning
• 2 tsp Kentucky Chicken and Poultry Seasoning
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp garlic salt

Directions:

The KEY to any good Fried Chicken recipe is to soak it in salty ice water.  I store it in my refrigerator for a couple of hours topped with ice cubes.  This will create a yummy crispy crust.

Combine all of your spices and flour

Coat each piece of chicken on both sides.

Place in a Hot 9 x 13 casserole pan with 1 Tbsp MELTED butter.  Bake at 425* for 35 minutes.  Flip over chicken and bake on the other side for 15 minutes.  I rotated a couple times on each side. About 10 more minutes on each side.  You can also fry this recipe, which I normally do.  Trying to eat a little healthier.

Serve it up with a nice baked potato and a veggie, OR mashed potatoes and gravy and a veggie. 

VOILA!!

Chicken and Noodles

well, pretty simple really.

Before i go to work i cook a whole chicken in the crock-pot on high. Completely fill your crock with water

When i come home i take the chicken out to cool.

I throw in about 5 chicken bullion cubes in with the chicken broth

1-2 tbsp sage

salt/pepper to taste

1 tbsp garlic salt

throw in your noodles.  I prefer homemade.  If you don't have a good noodle recipe I have one posted under perfect pastry.

I de-bone the chicken and throw it all in the pot.

Mix 2 tbsp cornstarch with cold water....put in your pot for thickness. Stir in slowly or it will clump.

Let cook for a couple more hours or until noodles or done.

You can cook this over the stove top to get the noodles done a little quicker.  If I get home late I will transfer it to the stove.

We like ours over mashed potatoes.

So yummy!
