Fried Chicken With Plum Cornbread And Bacon Green Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Place chicken drumsticks and thighs in a bowl and pour enough buttermilk over chicken to cover. Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.
• Combine flour, cornmeal, granulated onion, granulated garlic, thyme, salt, paprika, monosodium glutamate, baking powder, and cayenne pepper in a large, wide bowl.
• Remove chicken from buttermilk and shake off excess. Discard buttermilk. Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
• Dip chicken into egg whites and press into flour mixture. Allow coated chicken to rest on a wire rack for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Fill a cast-iron skillet or deep fryer with vegetable oil about 1/3 full. Heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Fry chicken in hot oil in batches until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Thighs may take longer to fry than drumsticks. Transfer fried chicken to a wire rack or a paper towel-lined tray to drain. Keep chicken warm in preheated oven while frying remaining pieces.

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese, chives and lemon juice in a bowl.
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Slice a slit in the chicken breast and use your fingers to create a pocket. Fill chicken with 1/4 of your cream cheese mixture and secure closed with toothpicks.
• Wrap chicken in bacon (2 pieces each) and bake in oven for 45 min or until chicken is cooked throughout.
• Green Beans (start prep when chicken has been cooking about 30min).
• Slice bacon into 1/2 inch strips.
• Pan fry bacon and onions until bacon is crispy.
• Turn frying pan to low and mix in green beans.
• Pan fry beans on low for 10 min or until cooked.
