Best Juicy Fried Chicken – Granny’s Secret Ingredient

This is hands down the best juicy fried chicken ever! I never would have thought to use this ingredient for chicken batter.  The chicken fries up so wonderfully.

It’s juicy and moist with a crispy crunchy coating on the outside.

Chicken soup and cornstarch is the secret ingredient to this delicious mouth watering juicy fried chicken.

Instead of frying you can bake it in the oven at 375 for 1-1/2 hours. It turns out GREAT!!! The skin is nice & crispy & the meat is moist.

The Best Juicy Fried Chicken ever! Crispy on the outside. Juicy on the inside!

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Best Juicy Fried Chicken
Servings: 4
Calories: 365 kcal
Ingredients
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 10 3/4 ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 10 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons
  • 10 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
  1. In a shallow dish or bowl combine the egg with the soup and 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt; mix until thoroughly combined.
  2. Add the chicken pieces and using your clean hands toss to coat completely; set aside or you may refrigerate until ready to finish making the recipe.
  3. In a medium bowl mix together the flour with the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt and black pepper.
  4. Working with one piece of chicken at a time, place the soup-coated chicken into the flour mixture and toss to coat completely.
  5. Add more flour and/or cornstarch if necessary adding them in equal parts (there should be an equal amount of each in the mixture, if you add in 2 tablespoons flour you must add in 2 tablespoons cornstarch with the flour).
  6. Place the coated chicken on a rack and allow to sit until it becomes doughy (THIS IS A CRUCIAL STEP to ensure crispiness when fried).
  7. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat (be certain to use enough oil to cover the chicken pieces).
  8. Once the chicken is doughy test oil by dropping in a piece of the "dough" into it. The oil is ready when it starts to fry immediately.
  9. Fry the chicken pieces in oil for about 10 minutes or until cooked through and juices run clear.
  10. Drain on a rack.

Enjoy!

Hobo Adobo Foil Dinner

This hobo adobo foil dinner takes the typical hobo dinner and dials up the flavor. Busy moms can make these foil dinners one night, and serve them the next.

 

The traditional adobo marinade with ground beef gives it a smoky, southwest taste.

Red peppers and green onions add a little kick to the potatoes. Monterrey Jack cheese is the fun surprise in the middle!

The neat little foil packets will keep for a few days in your refrigerator until it’s time to bake them.

The longer the meat can season through the more flavorful it becomes.

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Hobo Adobo Foil Dinner
Servings: 4
Calories: 395 kcal
Ingredients
Ground Beef in Adobo Sauce
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 red bell pepper minced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef thawed
Hobo Dinner Potatoes
  • 4 medium potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1/2 red pepper diced
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
Additional Ingredients
  • Reynolds Wrap Foil
  • 4 ounces monterey jack cheese
  • salt and pepper
Instructions
For the Ground Beef in Adobo Sauce:
  1. Mix the first seven ingredients well in a medium-sized bowl. Soak the ground beef in the adobo sauce for 1-2 hours. After soaking, strain excess moisture off using a colander (it's fine to have a little excess moisture, as it will steam your potatoes. Too much, and your meat patties will fall apart).
For the Hobo Dinner Potatoes:
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil. Toss with potatoes, red peppers and onions.
To Assemble:
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. To assemble the meat patties, divide the ground beef in adobo sauce into 8 balls. Press into patties. Place 1 oz. Monterrey Jack cheese (cut in squares) on each patty. Place another patty on top, and press together to seal.
  3. To assemble your hobo dinners, tear off a large piece of aluminum foil. Place one adobo patty on the bottom, and spoon potato mixture on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Seal well.
  4. Bake for 1 - 1 1/4 hours or until potatoes are tender.

Impossible Coconut Pie – It Really Works

This Impossible Coconut Pie is well named. The first time I saw this I thought, how can this turn out as it claims, but it does!!

The flour will settle to the bottom to form a crust, the coconut rises to the top and forms the topping, the center is an egg custard filling.

Impossible! Nope. Works every time plus it’s delicious.
