Moms Fall Off The Bone Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Generously sprinkle the cavity of the chicken with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the bay leaves, shallots, garlic, lemon and thyme. Generously sprinkle the outside of the chicken with salt and pepper, making sure to get into every nook and cranny.
• Fold an 18-inch piece of foil in half lengthwise, then fold it in half again lengthwise, and finally once more in half lengthwise, making a 4 1/2-inch-wide foil sling for the chicken. Put the sling in the center of a large plate and transfer the chicken to the center of the sling.
• Put the rack in the bottom of a 6-quart Instant Pot®, add 1 cup water and lower the chicken onto the rack using the sling. Fold down the foil sling as needed so it fits in the pot.
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 18 to 24 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Carefully transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, set the pot to high saute and reduce the sauce for 5 minutes. Turn off and let the sauce sit for 5 minutes.
• Cut the chicken into pieces and serve with the sauce and the shallots and lemon, if desired.

Steps:

• Mix flour and shortening together in a bowl until it resembles cornmeal.
• Slightly beat egg and milk together in a separate bowl. Add to flour mixture and stir to form a ball of dough. Place onto a floured surface; knead and roll as thin as possible using a floured rolling pin. Let dough stand for 2 hours.
• Place chicken into a large pot and add water to just cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and continue to boil until chicken is no longer pink in the center and meat falls off of the bone, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove chicken from the pot; strain broth and return to the pot. Add 2 cups water and bouillon. Remove meat from bones and return to broth. Add celery, carrots, and onion. Bring to a boil; continue to boil for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut dough into strips, approximately 1-inch wide. Tear strips and drop into boiling broth. Continue to boil for 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Wash cut up chicken and dry with paper towels.
• In a large baking pan, place chicken parts on a rack.
• Season with salt, pepper and seasonings of your choice.
• Pour onion soup and water into bottom of pan.
• Cover pan with foil.
• Bake at 250° for 5 hours.
• Baste chicken occasionally with the soup throughout the 5 hours.

Steps:

• Combine ingredients (except chicken and 1/4 cup water) and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes.
• Pour 1/4 cup water in bottom of a shallow pan. Lay chicken tightly in the pan.
• Pour sauce over chicken.
• Bake at 275 degrees for 2 1/2 to 3 hours uncovered. Turn chicken halfway through.

Steps:

• After rinsing, drying and removing giblets, refresh the chicken cavity with a couple of good squeezes of lemon juice.
• Place onion half in the chicken cavity.
• Combine salt, paprika, thyme, onion powder, peppers and garlic powder in a plastic zipper bag; place chicken in bag and coat it thoroughly with the spice mixture; really rub it into the skin; let chicken season in the bag, refrigerated overnight.
• The next day, let chicken warm up slightly; preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Remove chicken from zipper bag and place chicken in a roasting pan, breast side up, and roast uncovered at 325 degrees for the first hour; then reduce heat to 275 degrees F and continue to roast uncovered at that temperature for another 3-1/2 to 4 hours, basting at least twice in that time.
• To test for doneness, try moving a chicken leg; it will move freely and when poked, juices will run clear.
• When done, remove chicken and let stand for at least 5 minutes, then carve and serve!
