That will pair well w/my 'virtual' purchase of one

 

Who's Joe??

 

After my disastrous attempt at making fried chicken I really felt I needed to redeem myself, I was at a low point in my life after this mentally. Found this recipe for crispy chicken you can make in the oven and I'm starting to feel a little better, thanks for listening.

 

Well.... does it crunch???

It looks awesome!!!

 

You're setting yourself up there, Santa..

 

Amazing crunch. The missing ingredient I never knew existed or was ever needed, was baking powder.

 

I'll take the recipe when you have time; no rush.... I'm always looking for a fried chicken but just a tad healthier twist

 

Good point... but after the poking at his Tesla and the garage wall shrine, I'm sure they'll be some online reindeer games heading my way

 

Just a smidge

 

I'll send you a link for what I used, its pretty simple and you can add or subtract depending on your taste.

 

Oh yeah, keep a eye on that guy!

 

Would..
I've been known to do a homemade "Shake and Bake" in the oven for chicken and pork..

We don't 'fry' any foods here, other than bacon, and sometimes that goes in the oven as well.

Well, maybe a chicken piccata, but that 'fries' in a little olive oil and butter..

 

Seriously, like WTH does he do??? What is a 'staff member' of a forum???

Santa had one of those growing up; it's called a babysitter

 

My wife somehow thinks I'm obsessed about eating/cooking chicken, and I fear she might be right. What do you guys here prepare for meals during the week? We have been stuck on steak, pork chops, pasta and chicken for as long as I can remember and need some new ideas. BTW we hate fish. GO.

 

I do all the (weekend) cooking for my wife and I, but I'm very fortunate in this aspect of my life.
With our work schedules, we only see each other on the weekends, it works for both of us.
I ask what she wants and I make it.

Since it is going to get chilly here tomorrow, she asked for vegetable soup with sausage..
She wants pasta instead of potatoes in it..
So this will be it, served with a warm sliced baguette..

Nothing wrong with a pot roast either.
I prefer to cook mine in the dutch oven in the oven and not in a crock pot.
Be sure to sear the chuck roast first, I'll put carrots in mine and serve it with homemade mashed potatoes..
Use leftovers for sandwiches..

Mississippi Pot Roast • Love From The Oven

Other times I'll make a regular pot roast with carrots, fingerling or new potatoes, celery, etc. and just toss a pepperoncini or 2 in it.
Add a little cornstarch slurry at the end to thicken the jucies up....

I'm a regular fucking Julia Child in the kitchen..

 

We get in a rut too, it's tough.
Brats, beef stew, shrimp hibachi, homemade pizza..

 

Would

 

When in a rut just google dinner ideas and a ton of ideas will be at your fingertips.
I usually print out 2 or 3 recipes for something and then make it my own...

 

Great suggestions. Tried making a pot roast a few times which I really love, but you really need to pick out the right cut of meat to succeed with this, if you don't, its fuckin rubber balls in a broth.

 

Looks good.
And a lot less mess than deep frying!

 

Most butcher counters in decent grocery stores will have bulk Italian sausage you can buy. Saves the effort...

 

we usually just drop a 7-bone (the shape of the bone) chuck roast into the crock pot with some carrots, onion, garlic, celery, a bay leaf, some water, and a little Kirkland No-Salt seasoning and let it cook on low all day while we're at work. Never had a problem with it being chewy/rubbery.

 

A good chuck roast with a lot of fat marbling works, kinda like a good ribeye.
Cook it slowly until it tears apart with 2 forks..
I found my crock pot, even on low, cooks stuff too fast..

Y'all don't like fish, but shrimp dishes are easy and fast to cook.
Sauteed shrimp (just a couple of minutes on each side) with some lemon juice (and lemon zest), white wine, and capers served over a little angel hair pasta.
Cook the shrimp, take it out, make your sauce, have the pasta ready, some frozen garlic bread (dressed up with a tad of shredded Italian cheese) and DINNER IS SERVED.
You can make chicken cutlets (or thinly sliced breasts) the same way.
