My Mothers Fried Chicken Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Prepare the barbeque sauce:
• In a medium saucepan or a large high-sided saute pan, combine the ketchup, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, light brown sugar, dark brown sugar, dry mustard, Dijon mustard and chili powder. Whisk to blend. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic and lemon slices and stir to combine. Simmer until the vinegar mellows slightly and the flavors start to meld together, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Discard the ginger pieces.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Position the rack in the lower third of the oven. Line a baking sheet (or, if needed, 2 baking sheets) with foil. Season the chicken parts on both sides with salt, to taste. Pour about 1 1/2 cups of the barbeque sauce into a large bowl. Reserve the remaining sauce on the side. Submerge the chicken pieces in the sauce and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet with some of the lemon slices. The chicken should all be in a single layer with a little space between them. If additional space is needed, use the second baking sheet. Brush with barbeque sauce.
• Put the baking sheet(s) in the oven and bake, undisturbed, for 20 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and use a pair of metal tings to turn the pieces to the other side. Use a pastry brush to coat the second side of the chicken with the barbeque sauce from the bowl. Do not reuse that bowl or brush again. Return the sheet(s) to the oven and cook for an additional 15 to 20 minutes. Poke a thigh with the tip of a small knife and verify the chicken juices run "clear" and not pink. Turn the broiler on and broil for a minute until the chicken is charred on top.
• Warm the reserved barbeque sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Pour into a serving bowl.
• Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and serve immediately with the warm sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Add the chicken with tumeric powder and salt and mix well.
• Add the thick soy sauce, light soy sauce,chinese oyster sauce and black pepper and mix very well.
• Marinate for at least 2 hours up to overnight.
• In a large fry pan, heat up 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil over medium high heat.
• Add in the marinated chicken to the heated oil and fry.
• Make sure you low down the heat when frying.
• Turn the chicken after about 10 minutes, and continue turning and frying until done.
• Drain the chicken after done.
• Delicious (very juicy& tasty) when served with hot rice and sauteed stir-fried veggies.
• Try it!

Steps:

• Heat butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
• add onions and 1 tsp salt.
• Cook, stirring occasionally until onions are deep brown and caramelized.
• While onion is cooking, fry up bacon in a large skillet.
• Cook all the bacon and drain on a paper towel, leave drippings in the pan.
• Mix flour, 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp pepper.
• Dredge livers in flour, making sure to coat evenly.
• Cook livers in bacon fat until all sides are brown and crispy. You may have to do this in batches.
• Serve with bacon and onions.

Steps:

• Make chicken:
• Soak chicken in milk to cover for 20 to 30 minutes. Spray a baking dish (one that will accommodate all the chicken pieces comfortably in one layer) with nonstick vegetable-oil spray.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Put the butter in the baking dish and heat it in the oven until the butter melts. Mix flour and seasonings together in paper sack or plastic baggie (1-gallon size). Shake each piece of chicken in seasoned flour. Place chicken pieces, skin-side down, in baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn chicken over and bake an additional 20 minutes or until cooked through and crispy. Remove chicken and set aside in a warm place.
• Make gravy:
• Sauté the scallions and mushrooms in the drippings over medium high heat, until soft. Mix the seasoned flour with milk first until you see no lumps. Whisk milk mixture into the sautéing onions and mushrooms. Taste and add bouillon cube, if desired (You may want to use additional milk if you do). Boil until thickened to preferred consistency. Put into a gravy dish and serve alongside the baked chicken.
