So Saturday I did not cook all 12 lbs of pretty cubed chicken for the family. I brought home the uncooked in the flour batter bag. I put it in the fridge for 3 days. I cooked it last night.
The pro is, the seasonings had intensified and tasted great. The con, the chicken had dried out some and I did not like it as much. Plus a lot of it had formed big blobs, that I had to separate. I mean we are talking blobs the size of New York... well ok bigger than my hand anyway, but in chicken nugget measure, it is the same thing.
So next time I am thinking I will season the chicken over night in the egg mix, and for a few hours floured in a covered pan then fry. Maybe that will give me the best of both worlds...
Today will be a busy day. My kitchen was sorely neglected yesterday while I tried to finish the bathroom. I still need to sweep and mop in there. Bible study was great! If you want my notes posted here just drop a comment and I will plop them in.
I finally got all my "religion" songs on my pc, and with the speakers Beloved got me I can hear them all through the house! Someday I will make a cd of them but for now this is fine!
Well I need to get the wash going, scoop boxes and such so I best get on it!
hugs y'all!
Good morning, Darlin'! Wishing you a lovely day in your homestead.

Mel, I have a herb blend I put on chicken, and when I make plans early enough in advance, I do it the night before. I can still batter over it if I want, it's just a blend of herbs and doesn't make an actual coating. Maybe you'd be able to season the chunks the night before, then do them up 'regular' for the best of both worlds. It sounds like there was a LOT of chicken!

You mean the size of errrr....Texas! LOL I imagine that it wasn't as moist, but the herbs were wonderful..I like Laura's idea...also I wonder if buttermilk would work too, maybe not.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine what all that chicken looked like on Saturday...you did good, girl!
