My Moms Yummy Chicken Recipes

MOM'S CITY CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Add your eggs to a shallow bowl and beat
• In a separate bowl add your breadcrumbs, paprika and Parmesan cheese.
• If your pork and veal are not already placed on skewers, do so by alternating pork and veal pieces.
• Sprinkle the chunks of meat with salt and pepper.
• Dip the skewered meat in the egg and then the bread crumbs. Set aside and finish the rest of the meat.
• Heat your skillet to medium high and once hot, add your oil.
• Once the oil is hot, place your meat in the pan and turn the skillet down to medium. Brown skewered meat on all sides. About 2-3 minutes on each side.
• Once the meat is browned, place in a baking dish and cover with aluminum.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until the pork is no longer pink inside.
• To make the gravy turn the skillet on to medium heat.
• Add the broth or water to the skillet and break up all the browned bits.
• Add the flour a little at a time and whisk well so there are no lumps.
• Pour over cooked meat. (this did not make much gravy for me but it was tasty.)

MOM'S OLD FASHIONED FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Put the flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a brown paper bag. One by one, coat the chicken parts with mixture.
• In a large skillet, fry the chicken in 1 inch of hot oil until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and drain the oil.
• Put the chicken back into the pan and cover the pieces with cooking sherry. Cover the pan and reduce to simmer. Let simmer for 20 minutes. Serve.

MOMMA'S BEST CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a stock pot over medium-high heat. Add celery, carrot, onion, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning; cook and stir until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Push vegetable mixture to the sides and add chicken; cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Pour enough water over the chicken to cover by 3 inches; bring to a boil. Stir, scraping the browned bits off of the bottom of the pot. Reduce heat; simmer until chicken is tender, about 1 hour. Transfer chicken and carrots to a serving plate with a large slotted spoon; let cool.
• Ladle 1/4 cup cooking liquid into a bowl; cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Mix in 2 tablespoons flour. Stir back into the pot.
• Place 2 cups flour in a large bowl; cut in shortening with 2 knives until mixture forms pea-sized bits. Mix in chilled chicken broth until dough is combined.
• Turn dough out onto a floured work surface. Knead 5 to 6 times; pat down to 1-inch thickness. Sprinkle lightly with flour; roll out to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut dough into squares with a sharp knife.
• Drop squares, in batches, into simmering cooking liquid, moving squares to the side with each addition. Partially cover pot; simmer until dumplings are firm, about 12 minutes. Separate any dumplings that stick together. Remove from heat; keep covered.
• Bone chicken; cut into bite-sized pieces and return to the pot. Chop carrot; return to the pot. Cool chicken and dumplings, about 30 minutes, before serving.

MY MOM'S EASIEST STICKY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 180°c.
• Place the chicken in an oven-proof baking dish.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, chutney, lemon juice, salt and water and pour over the chicken.
• Place in the oven and allow to bake for 30-45 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and the sauce is sticky. (I spoon some of the sauce over the chicken at the 20 minutes mark.)
• Remove from the oven and serve.

MOM'S CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, rosemary, chile flakes, nutmeg, salt, pepper and garlic. Place the chicken pieces in a resealable bag and pour the marinade in, coating all of the meat. Allow the chicken to marinate, refrigerated, 1 to 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Set up a grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Allow the temperature to come up to 375 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade. Place the chicken pieces skin-side up on the indirect-heat side of the grill and close the lid. Cook the chicken until almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Move the chicken pieces over to the direct heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

JAPANESE MUM'S CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients in a saucepan over a high heat.
• Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 20 minutes.
• Remove any scum that rises to the surface.
• Increase the heat, turning the drumsticks frequently in the liquid, and cook until the liquid has reduced to a sticky glaze.
• Arrange the chicken on a serving platter, remove the garlic clove and chili from the liquid, and spoon the glaze over.
• NOTE It's a glaze rather than a sauce, so there's not a whole lot of it.

MOM'S CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Saute onion in butter with curry powder.
• Blend in flour and other seasonings.
• Cook on low until smooth.
• Stir in broth and milk slowly with whisk to make sure to get all the lumps out.
• Bring to boil. Boil for one minute or until thickened while stirring.
• Stir in chicken and lemon juice.
• Serve over rice.
• Enjoy!
