As with ribs or meat sauce, we all tend to have a recipe we don't stray from no matter how good someone else says theirs is. Well, this fried chicken recipe is just that for me.
Click Here to Print Recipe My Thoughts:
I don't keep a close eye on the clock because usually when the outside is done & to my liking the inside is done as well. I have also kept the skin on as well as taken it off. Your preference. Also, since the magic comes from the pkgs of dressing mix & instant soup, I may have increased it by 50% in the past. Taste your flour to make sure there is a strong presence of these 2 ingredients!!!!!
** I have been unable to find the instant tomato soup mix at my supermarket & heard it was at WalMart. I've used tomato bouillon instead with great results but since I now have to go to WalMart for Bob's sauce I may as well pick some of this up too!!!!

TGIF !!!!
Have a great weekend everyone. Notalotta plans this weekend which I am loving but we're having my parents over tomorrow for lunch so I plan to use them as my guinea pigs for a few new things I'd like to try. Have a great one, be safe & love those close to you.
Oh, I mentioned balance last week. Two things I ask myself each day is, WHAT must I get done today & WHO can I reach out to today. It may be a friend I haven't spoken to in awhile or quality time spent with a loved one. This way, I get to do the things I need to but without missing out on the people in my life.
1 cut up chicken
Buttermilk
2 cups flour
1 pkg Good Seasons Italian Salad dressing mix
1 pkg Instant Tomato Cup of Soup **
Salt & Pepper
Soak chicken in buttermilk overnight or as little as an hour. Combine flour with dressing mix & instant soup pkg. Remove chicken & roll in flour mixture. Fry in vegetable oil on medium to medium high until golden brown & cooked through. Can take between 25-35 minutes for larger pieces. Once done, drain on paper towel & season immediately with a little salt & pepper if you desire.
blog hopping!!! the food looks so good! and i love the book your reading!!

omg, tomato soup!? haha I would have never thought to use something like that..this sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteOh..about the amish obsession...hmmm..dunno really..I just love the simplicity of the lifestyle, so calm and laid back..I guess..ofcourse not easy..but I like that there is always something to do..mend clothes, harvest the garden, bake, teach the children, etc.
Maybe one day I can visit Amish Country...:)
TGIF
Cheers!

I am NOT the cook in my house...but my husband loves new recipes! Great ideas!
ReplyDeleteI always dip in buttermilk when I am frying chicken, but I never add that dressing mix or the tomatoe soup! Can't wait to try it! I love your goals for each day. So beautiful! Hope your week is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds GOOOOD!! I may have to use those ingredients and see if I can come up with something YUMMY!

That recipe looks so yum, but I doubt I'll be cooking it since my husband is deathly allergic to chicken. Wish I could!
