Fried Chicken Salad With Buttermilk Chive Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, add the sour cream, buttermilk and apple cider vinegar and whisk until the ingredients are incorporated. Add the chives, dill, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste and stir once more. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. For best results, do a day or two ahead of time before using.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine all the buttermilk marinade ingredients. Toss in chicken thighs and marinate for at least one hour in the refrigerator.
• In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for dill dressing. Cover and let sit for at least an hour in the refrigerator.
• In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients for seasoned flour.
• Dip chicken in flour until chicken is completely covered. Repeat for all chicken thighs.
• Heat the oil to 350˚F (180˚C) in a deep pot. Do not fill more than ½ full with oil.
• Carefully fry chicken for roughly 7 minutes, or until cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165˚F (75˚C)) golden brown and crispy. Drain on a paper towel.
• Layer a couple handfuls of spring mix greens on a plate. Add sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions. Top with fried chicken. Spoon the dill dressing on top of the salad.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Remove and discard the bones from the chicken. Chop up the meat, with the fried skin, into small pieces (you should have about 6 cups).
• Set aside 1 tablespoon each of the celery, scallions and pickle.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, pickle brine, buttermilk, yellow mustard and a couple dashes hot sauce in a large bowl. Stir in the remaining celery, scallion and pickle.
• Add the chopped chicken to the bowl and stir gently to combine. Season with salt and more hot sauce if you'd like. Transfer to a large serving bowl and sprinkle with the reserved celery, scallion and pickle. Serve on potato rolls with a few dashes of hot sauce.

Steps:

• For the buttermilk-chive dressing: Combine the buttermilk, sour cream, mayonnaise and lemon juice in a small bowl and whisk well. Stir in the chives and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the maple-glazed bacon: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set a wire rack in a baking sheet and spray the rack with cooking spray.
• Lay the bacon slices in 1 layer on the wire rack and brush with the maple syrup. Sprinkle over the brown sugar and cayenne. Bake until dark brown and crispy, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then crumble.
• For the salad: Layer the ingredients in a large salad bowl beginning with the lettuce, then adding the tomatoes, bell pepper and onion.
• When ready to serve, add in the crumbled Sour Cream Cornbread, pour the dressing over the salad and sprinkle the bacon on top.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the creamed corn, cornmeal mix, sour cream, oil and eggs. Pour the mixture into the skillet and bake until lightly brown, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. To make the dressing: In a small bowl, mix together the buttermilk, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, salt, and pepper until well blended. The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
• 2. Place the eggs in a small saucepan, add cold water to cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. As soon as the water begins to boil, turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the eggs sit for 15 minutes, or until cool enough to handle. Remove the eggs from the water. Working with one egg at a time, softly and gently crack each eggshell all around and carefully peel it off while holding the egg under running cool water. Pat the eggs dry, halve lengthwise, and set aside.
• 3. In a large saucepan, bring 3 quarts/2.8 L lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. While waiting for the water to boil, fill a large bowl about half full with ice and then add cold water just to cover the ice. Line the baking sheet with paper towels.
• 4. Drop the carrots into the boiling water and boil for 3 to 4 minutes. Using the sieve, remove the carrots from the water and plunge them, sieve and all, into the ice bath. Remove the carrots from the ice water, drain, and dump them out onto the prepared baking sheet. This process, called "shocking," will halt the cooking so the vegetables retain their bright color and fresh crunch.
• 5. Bring the water back to a boil and repeat with the peas, leaving them in the boiling water for about 30 seconds, and then with the green beans, leaving them in the boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes, before shocking each of them, in turn, in the ice water and transferring them to the baking sheet. Replenish the ice bath as needed with more ice to keep it ice-cold.
• 6. Bring the water back to a boil and add the potatoes. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, or until you can pierce them easily with a fork. Shock the potatoes in the ice water, scoop them out, and then dump them onto the baking sheet with the other vegetables.
• 7. Decoratively arrange the lettuce, radishes, tomatoes, eggs, potatoes, carrots, peas, and green beans in four shallow salad bowls. Serve the dressing on the side.

Steps:

• For the fried chicken: Using a mallet, lightly pound the thighs to flatten. Combine the hot sauce and 2 cups of the buttermilk in a large re-sealable gallon bag. Slice the chicken into 1-inch thick slices and add to the bag. Marinate for 40 minutes in the fridge.In a large, deep cast-iron or heavy skillet, bring the oil to 350 degrees F.Remove the chicken strips from the marinade and lightly pat away excess. Place the panko breadcrumbs into a large mixing bowl and season with the granulated garlic, marjoram, thyme, salt and pepper.Put the flour and remaining 2 cups buttermilk into separate, medium mixing bowls. Season each with salt and pepper. Dredge one piece of chicken at a time by first placing into flour and patting off the excess. Then place the floured slices into the buttermilk. Finally, transfer to the seasoned panko crumbs. Dust with panko crumbs, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks. Set onto a wire rack fitted over a baking sheet and repeat until all the thighs are dredged.Place the thighs into the oil in batches and fry until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Do not overcrowd the oil. Once browned and the internal temperature reads 165 degrees F, remove from the oil and set on a towel-lined dish to drain. Season with kosher salt.For the salad: In a large glass mixing bowl, toss the lettuce with the beans, corn, cucumbers, tomatoes and shaved radish. Add in 1 cup Buttermilk-Chive Dressing and toss to coat. Serve the chicken on top of the salad. Drizzle with a little extra dressing.On a flat cutting board, smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife. Add the salt to make a paste, pressing downward and scraping with blade of knife. Reserve the paste.In a medium glass mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, white vinegar, chives, parsley, dill and garlic paste. Blend well with a whisk or immersion blender. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 1 hour.Source: foodnetwork.comRecipe formatted with the Cook'n Recipe Software from DVO Enterprises.
