  • Chicken Fried Rice

    Chicken Fried Rice

    Ingredients 1 1/4 lbs chicken breast cut in thin bite size pieces (or thighs) 2–3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 medium onion finely chopped 2 large carrots peeled and finely chopped 3/4 cup frozen baby peas 2 cloves garlic minced 3 large eggs 2 tablespoons butter 4 cups rice cooked and chilled 3–5 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce (see notes) 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil 2 green onions chopped salt and pepper to taste; optional Instructions Heat 1 tablespoon oil to large skillet over medium/medium high heat.  Cook chicken in a single layer browning on both sides; approximately 2 minutes each side. Add more oil if needed. Transfer to plate and cover to keep warm. Heat 1 tablespoon oil to same large skillet over medium/medium high heat.  Add onion, carrots, and peas.  Cook until crisp tender stirring several times.  Reduce heat to low.  Add garlic and cook for 1 minute stirring constantly. Transfer to plate and cover to keep warm. Whisk eggs and add 1/2 tablespoon butter to same skillet over low heat.  Add eggs and cook just until set. Remove from skillet and add to the plate with the vegetables.  Cover to keep warm. Melt remaining butter over medium heat.  Add rice to skillet. Drizzle with soy sauce.  Increase heat to medium high and fry until lightly browned.  Stir several times but not all the time so it has time to brown.  Work in batches if your pan is crowded. Drizzle the rice with sesame oil and sprinkle with green onions; stirring to combine. Return chicken, vegetables, and eggs to skillet and heat through.  If desired season with salt and pepper to taste. Notes • Add the soy sauce to taste.  I prefer light soy sauce on my fried rice but my husbands likes his a little more salty so I usually fry his rice. • Cut your chicken into thin bite size pieces so it cooks through in just a couple of minutes. • Use cooked chilled rice.  Cook it 1-2 days in advance and chill it in the fridge real well.  Freshly cooked rice does not fry well at all.  It clumps up and turns into a gooey mess. • There is no need to thaw the peas.  Simply pull the peas out of the freezer when you start the recipe and add them frozen when needed.  They will quickly thaw in the skillet and stir fry up just perfect.  Canned peas are not recommended. • Cut your vegetables in small pieces to complement the dish and to make it easy to pick up with chopsticks.

  • Extremely Slow-Roasted Turkey Breast

    Extremely Slow-Roasted Turkey Breast

    This preparation rises to the level of foolproof. As cookbook author Andrew Schloss explains in his newest book, "By setting the oven thermostat at the same temperature I want the meat to be done, overcooking becomes theoretically impossible." It's best to use a roasting pan that is not much larger than the breast itself. If you slow-roast the turkey overnight (starting at midnight or 1 a.m.), it will stay moist and warm enough to serve at a midday or early afternoon meal. Make Ahead: The seasoning rub can be assembled days in advance; cover and store at room temperature. The turkey breast needs to be seasoned and air-dried in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. The seasoned, air-dried breast needs to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour before slow-roasting. ________________________________________ Ingredients 1 tablespoon dried thyme leaves 1 tablespoon dried basil leaves 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed dried rosemary leaves 1 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves 1 teaspoon rubbed sage (crumbled between your fingers) 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper One 7-to-9-pound whole, skin-on, bone-in turkey breast 1 large onion 1 tablespoon olive oil ________________________________________ Directions Combine the thyme, basil, rosemary, marjoram, sage, salt and pepper in a small bowl to create a seasoning rub, then rub it all over the turkey breast, including the underside. Refrigerate the turkey, uncovered, for 12 to 24 hours. The skin of the turkey breast will tighten and look dry. The seasoned, air-dried breast needs to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour before slow-roasting. Meanwhile, cut the onion into about 8 wedges (from top to bottom), then arrange them to cover the bottom of the roasting pan. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the turkey breast (breast meat side up) on the onion in the pan. Drizzle the oil evenly over the breast. Roast for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 175 degrees. Roast for 8 to 9 hours or until the internal temperature of the breast meat, when taken away from the bone, registers 165 to 170 degrees. Let the turkey rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before carving, or tent it loosely and carve several hours later.

  • Overnight Chicken

    Overnight Chicken

    This foolproof chicken is low-maintenance slow cooking at its most elemental: chicken, salt, pepper, water and heat. That's it. Dry-roasting the bird first browns the skin on top while rendering some of the fat, adding richness to the broth. An optional step of rinsing the chicken is included here, to remove any moisture or liquid from the packaged bird. Do the rinsing carefully, without causing a lot of splashing, and this should not increase chance of kitchen contamination. Use this chicken in any recipe you would otherwise use roasted, poached or baked poultry: served as a main or tossed into salads, soups, burritos, pasta dishes and more. Make Ahead: To firm up the meat and skin and promote even browning, the bird needs to air-dry in the refrigerator for 8 to 24 hours (an optional step). The cooked chicken meat and broth can be refrigerated, separately, for up to 5 days; the broth can be frozen for up to a year. ________________________________________ Ingredients • One 3 to 3 1/2-pound whole chicken (giblet packet removed, if there is one) • Kosher salt • Freshly ground black pepper • 6 cups water, or more as needed Directions Rinse the chicken, inside and out, under cool running water. Pat dry with a paper towel and set on a large plate. Season aggressively with salt all over and inside the cavity. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 8 hours, and up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to begin cooking, position a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees. Place the chicken in a Dutch oven (8-quart) or heavy pot with a lid. Season with several grinds of pepper. Roast, uncovered, for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the skin has browned, then remove the pot from the oven, leaving the oven door ajar. Reduce the temperature to 200 degrees. Add the water to the pot, or more as needed to come up about two-thirds on the sides. Cover tightly and return to the oven; slow-poach, undisturbed with the oven door closed, for 6 to 8 hours. Transfer to the stove top (off the heat) until the broth has cooled to a warm, non-injurious temperature. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board; pull all the meat, discarding the skin and bones as needed. Strain the broth in the pot, discarding any solids. Use right away, or place in separate containers for storing

  • Convection Oven Turkey

    Convection Oven Turkey

    Roasting with Convection: In Convection the heated air in the oven is continuously circulated penetrating the food from the outside to the center. • Meats should be cooked on a rack in a shallow pan for maximum exposure and to prevent juices from being leeched out by the heat of the pan. • Pan juices will be minimal, however the juices can be easily captured prior to carving and yield up to 4 cups for gravy. • Turning and basting are not required when roasting in Convection. • Higher temperatures than standard recipe temperatures are used when roasting turkey in Convection and cooking times are much shorter. • Once the turkey is resting multiple side dishes can be cooked in the oven at one time ensuring that all the dishes are hot and ready at the same time. In short using Convection makes the cooking easy, the timing is perfect and the results are fabulous. Timing Guide for Convection Roasting The timing we have established for roasting turkeys in Convection is based on the following criteria: 1. Letting the turkey sit outside of the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours. 2. Cooking the turkey without stuffing. 3. Roasting the turkey on a rack in a shallow pan with the legs swinging free. 4. Cooking the turkey in the Convection Roast mode at 400 degrees for 20 minutes then reducing the temperature to 350 degrees/375 for large capacity ovens, for the remainder of the cooking time. 5. Cook the turkey to an internal temperature of 160-170 degrees in the thickest part of the thigh and allow it to rest for 20 minutes prior to carving, in this time the internal temperature rises to 180 degrees. Turkey weight**********Cooking time*********Resting time 10-12 lb. turkey******1 ½ hours******20 minutes 12-15 lb. turkey******1 ¾ hours******20 minutes 15-20 lb. turkey******2 hours******20 minutes 20-25 lb. turkey******2 ½ hours******20 minutes Making the Gravy When roasting in Convection you will be wondering where all the juice is, but after the 20-minute resting period pick up the turkey with two kitchen towels and drain the juices into a bowl, you will be amazed at how much comes pouring out. The next step will be to skim off the fatty liquid that rises to the top of the bowl and discard it then add the liquid gravy. Be sure to use a rimmed carving board because even more juices will start to flow as you carve the bird. Whichever method you choose for making the gravy, it’s good to start with a giblet stock for added flavor and extra liquid. The giblet stock can be made the day before when you wash and season the turkey. Method 1-Make a roux and add the giblet stock and cooking juices from the turkey. Method 2-Make a giblet stock, deglaze the roasting pan, make a roux in the pan and add the giblet stock and cooking juices, this method gives you the advantage of also scraping up all the luscious caramelized bits on the bottom of the pan.

  • "KFC" Chicken

    "KFC" Chicken

    The Coating This is where the Colonel's Secret Recipe comes into play. The seasoning is as follows: 2/3 tablespoon salt 1/2 tablespoon thyme 1/2 tablespoon basil 1/3 tablespoon oregano 1 tablespoon celery salt 1 tablespoon black pepper 1 tablespoon dried mustard 4 tablespoons paprika 2 tablespoons garlic salt 1 tablespoon ground ginger 3 tablespoons white pepper I mixed the above seasoning with two cups of flour. While I am a large fan of the paper bag method for fried chicken, I don't see every KFC on the planet shaking chicken in a bag before frying, I skipped it this round and went with the more traditional flour-egg-flour dredge in shallow pans. Frying Method I, like most people I imagine, don't own a pressure fryer. These things are a few hundred dollars and aren't exactly a go-to small appliance for most homes. I do own a pressure cooker, but adding hot oil to a pressure cooker can create all sorts of havoc. So I fried the chicken in my tabletop fryer (360°F until internal chicken temperature reaches 165°F — roughly eight minutes), as I am a fan of the lid which regulates temperature and lack of splatters. The Results You know how you try "the ultimate" whatever recipe that surfaces online and, although it tastes good, it never really lives up to the brand name of the real thing? This recipe ... this isn't that. You guys. Seriously. I can't. The taste of its crispy skin is a dead ringer for its commercial counterpart. KFC might deny that the spice mixture given to the Chicago Tribune is incorrect, but it sure tastes like the real thing. The taste of its crispy skin is a dead ringer for its commercial counterpart. The texture, on the other hand, was not an identical match to KFC. Although I greatly enjoyed the extra-crunchy, thick skin of the chicken, it didn't foster the same memories of the soft yet textured skin that come spilling out of the traditional red-and-white bucket. If I wanted to make this recipe as KFC as possible, I think my beloved paper bag method for flouring would have been more thin and even.
