easy southern chicken and dumplings.

Chicken and Dumplings
Chicken and Dumplings

These chicken and dumplings bring back memories of my Mom’s exceptional comfort food. Despite being around 90 years old, she continued to make the most delicious chicken and dumplings until she could no longer be in the kitchen. I can still taste her dumplings. What an amazing comfort food dumplings are, right?

I don’t share many pictures of them because they are challenging to capture in a visually appealing way due to their somewhat plain appearance. However, their taste far surpasses their visual appeal, packing an incredible burst of flavor!

Chicken and Dumplings
Chicken and Dumplings

One of the reasons they are so flavorful is that I actually cook my chicken that I’ll use in the dumplings in chicken stock. I always have homemade chicken stock in my freezer. You can leave the chicken whole or you can cut up before adding to the stock. I cut mine up because I add the dark meat first and cook for 30 minutes, then I add the breast and cook just until they are done or the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. I just don’t want the breast to be dry. Also, because I’m using chicken stock that was prepared with onions, carrots, celery, bay leaves and seasonings, you don’t have to do this while using stock.

If you do use plain water, you will need to add onions, celery, carrots, bay leaves, and salt and pepper to season the broth. Then you would remove your chicken, strain your broth and discard the vegetables to have just the broth left for your dumplings.

What you will need to make this dish:

  • 4-5 pound fryer chicken whole or cut up
  • Chicken stock to just cover the chicken
  • *If you don’t have chicken stock already prepared, use water, add 1/2 onion, 2 carrots, 1 celery stick, 2 bay leaves, salt and pepper
  • All purpose flour
  • Crisco shortening
  • more hot chicken stock for making the dumplings
  • salt and pepper to taste

I also use the hot chicken stock to make the dumplings. The dumplings are just flour, crisco shortening, salt and the hot chicken stock. The hot chicken stock makes a very nice, easy to roll out dough.

I like to use a large pot for cooking the chicken and the final dish. I used an 8 quart stock pot similar to this https://amzn.to/3gO1R6x3.

I like this because I can also use it on an induction burner that requires a certain material.

I have a little different dumpling recipe that adds carrots and peas that is maybe more like a soup. Here’s the recipe for those dumplings: Chicken and Dumplings – ultimate comfort food.

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 4-5 pound fryer chicken whole or cut up
  • Chicken stock to just cover the chicken
  • *If you use water, add 1/2 onion, 2 carrots, 1 celery stick, 2 bay leaves, salt and pepper
  • 4 cups flour
  • 3/4 cups crisco shortening
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup plus more if needed, hot chicken stock
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, add the chicken and enough chicken stock to cover. Add a whole chicken or cut up. If I cut up, I add the dark parts first and cook 30 minutes, then I add the breast and cook until done or the internal temperature of the breast reaches 165 degrees. Remove the chicken and when cook enough to handle, shred or cut the chicken into pieces and set aside.
    (If you you are starting with water add the onion, carrots, celery and bay leaves. After cooking, remove the chicken, strain the broth discarding the vegetables. Add the stock back to the pan for the dumplings).
  2. Bring the stock up to a medium boil. Place the flour and salt into a bowl. Work in the shortening until becomes like coarse meal. Add the hot broth, starting with 1 cup adding more if needed until the dough completely comes together and you are able to roll out without crumbling.
    Roll out about a quarter inch and cut into about 3 inch by 1 inch pieces. Add a piece at a time to the boil of the broth, using a knife occasionally to make an open space to add the next dumpling. When all the dumplings have been added, lower the heat to a simmer, place a cover and set it ajar, and cook the dumplings for about 20 minutes until done. When done, check for salt and pepper. Add the Chicken and serve immediately.
    If you have leftovers, you will need to add water to loosen as your dumplings will absorb the broth when stored in the refrigerator.

Southern Potato SaladJump to Recipe
Southern Potato Salad
Southern Potato Salad

Just looking at this picture you can see all the deliciousness that is in the Southern Potato Salad. Just because that potato salad is a side dish doesn’t mean it can’t be the star of your meal or the best side dish ever. When I was growing up there was never a family reunion, picnic or BBQ that we didn’t have potato salad.

Mom made delicious potato salad. It was basic and I’ve just worked on this recipe forever, tweaking it along the way. For example, I add a little Old Bay. Unlike the jar of pimento that is traditional in Potato Salad, I made this recipe with the addition of red bell pepper and green bell pepper.

Are you familiar with Old Bay? It is so versatile and can be used in so many different Southern recipes. https://amzn.to/3AcFnql

Here’s some tips to making this potato salad:

  • As soon as you’re able to handle the potatoes, peel the potatoes. If you leave skin on, that’s ok.
  • Add the potatoes to a bowl, chop into medium size chunks and douse with a good amount of apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar and salt and pepper. Toss a little and let them sit for about 30 minutes to absorb the vinegar. You don’t want enough for the vinegar to stand in the bowl, just enough that will be absorbed.

I served this with my pulled pork sandwich the other day. It’s the absolute best side dish for bbq!

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Servings: 6 servings
Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: American
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 7-8 whole Youkan Gold Potatoes
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 4 hard boiled eggs, diced
  • 1/4-1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 green pepper, diced
  • 1-2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
  • 2-3 tbsp dill relish (depends on your preference)
  • 1 tsp sweet relish
  • 1 tsp fresh dill, chopped or a pinch of dried dill
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Old Bay (optional)
  • pinch of cayenne (optional)
  • pinch of smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp yellow mustard
  • quality mayonnaise like Hellman's or Dukes
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Add the potatoes whole, skin on to a pot of salted water. Cook until fork tender. When done, drain and place the potatoes in a large bowl that you can easily mix your ingredients. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, yet still warm, remove the skin. If you leave some of the skin on that's fine.
  2. Dice your eggs and add to your potatoes that you have allowed to sit with the vinegar and a little salt and pepper. Add your onions, bell peppers, celery and your dill and sweet relish. Add your seasonings, your mustard, and start with a little mayonnaise at a time until you reach the creaminess you desire. Check for salt and pepper.
  3. Place your potato salad in a serving dish and sprinkle with a little smoked paprika. Chill until ready to serve.

I think this Chicken Fried Pork Steak with Cream Gravy is as good as beef Chicken Fried Steak! We know our chicken fried anything in Texas and these are amazing!

Just like a requirement in chicken fried steak, I used cubed pork steaks. They really are a good buy right now because beef is so expensive. As of today the tenderized pork steak is $1.35 a pound and the beef cubed steak was $5.64 a pound. Big difference.

I served these with my smashed potatoes and of course the cream gravy and it all just worked together so well. Just look how yummy these potatoes look. They are just like eating a loaded baked potato.

I like to fry these in a cast iron skillet. I have cast iron skillets that were my mother’s, and you know after they are seasoned, it’s like frying in a non stick pan. Here’s a link for a Lodge cast iron skillet if you are just starting to buy them. https://amzn.to/2ZIYZmh.

Print Recipe
Servings: 2 servings
Course: dinner, Lunch, Main Course
Cuisine: American
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pork steak cutlets
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • oil for frying
For the Cream Gravy
  • 2-3 tbsp oil

  • 1 1/2 cups milk

Method
 

  1. Combine the flour, salt and peppers in a shallow pan. Beat the eggs in another pan or dish.
  2. Place each cutlet in the flour, pressing in the flour a little. Add to the egg covering each side, then back into the flour mixture, covering completely, pressing to make sure it is thoroughly coated. Continue until all have been battered.
  3. Add oil to a skillet about 1/3 up the side of a skillet. I use an iron skillet. Heat to medium high. Add the cutlets to the hot oil. Fry on the first side until browned, then turn and brown the other side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  4. Pour off all but 2 to 3 tablespoons oil from the pan. Add the flour and cook for a minute or so. While whisking, add the milk to the pan. Cook until thick, adding more milk if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

the best 3 ingredient fried chicken.

3 ingredient fried chicken

I have tried so many recipes for fried chicken and I always come back to this basic 3 ingredient recipe! Flour, salt and pepper. That is it. Oh, you do need a paper sack to toss it all in. Well, that’s what I use, but if you don’t have one…toss in a big plastic bag or place the flour in a dish and just toss it around to evenly coat.

I have tried so many recipes for fried chicken and I always come back to this basic 3 ingredient recipe! Flour, salt and pepper.  That is it.  Oh, you do need a paper sack to toss it all in. Well, that's what I use, but if you don't have one...toss in a big plastic bag or place the flour in a dish and just toss it around to evenly coat.

This is the fried chicken I grew up eating. Mom and Granny made it just like this. I brine because they brined. They knew that brining would just make the juiciest, most tender chicken ever. It would usually be a Saturday night that Mom and Granny would cut up a whole chicken or two and soak overnight in salted water to fry on Sunday. They would use Crisco in a cast iron dutch oven to fry the chicken. Never greasy, just the best chicken ever. I think the cast iron dutch oven is the best thing to fry chicken in. Mine is very, very old, but if you don’t have one, this is a great place to start. https://amzn.to/3fPoffO.

the best 3 ingredient fried chicken.

One of my favorite memories was actually going to see Granny. We lived in Grand Prairie, Texas and Granny lived about an hour and a half away. There were 7 of us. There were no McDonalds or other fast food restaurants and even if there were, they probably couldn’t have afforded to take all of us out to eat anyway. Mom would fry this beautiful chicken, make some potato salad, pack up a loaf of bread and we would stop at a road side park on the way and have lunch. Beautiful memories.

Mom is incredible. She is now 91. Just a side note, we grew up in the 50’s and 60’s. Mom fed a family of 7 on $25.00 a week and had a balanced meal on the table every night, plus breakfast and lunch everyday.

I too made potato salad with this fried chicken. Here’s the recipe: https://the2spoons.com/delicious-2-step-potato-salad/. There is nothing better than fried chicken and potato salad.

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Servings: 2 servings
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken legs, skin on, bone in
  • 2 chicken thighs, skin on, bone in
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Place your chicken pieces in a bowl after lightly salting each piece. Add enough water to just cover. Seal with a lid or clear wrap. Refrigerate overnight or at least for 4 hours.
  2. Place the flour in a paper sack. Add your salt and pepper. I always taste a little to see if there's enough salt, but remember you brined your chicken in salt water so you don't want to over do it.
  3. Add enough oil to come up about 1/3 to the sides of your pan. Heat on medium high until a pinch of flour begins to sizzle or the end of a wooden spoon placed in the hot oil sizzles, about 335 to 350 degrees. You do not want to cook your chicken in oil that is too hot because it will brown too quick and be raw in the middle.
  4. While your oil is heating, remove the chicken from the water one piece at a time, allowing access water to fall off and add to the flour. Shake, shake, shake and turn until completely coated. Place on a sheet pan until all is coated.
  5. When your oil is ready, add the chicken to the oil skin side down. Cook until the chicken is brown and crispy on that side, then turn. If your heat is too high, lower to medium high and add a lid and let it sit ajar. Cook, checking after about 10 minutes to see if the bottom has browned. When the bottom is brown, turn again, remove the lid and cook turning until the internal temperature reaches 165-170, raising the heat if needed. At this time you want to be close by, watching and turning as the chicken continues to brown on each side.
  6. When done, drain on a wire rack and allow to rest for at least 10 to 15 minutes. If I am frying a large amount I will keep warm in my oven on the warm setting. Enjoy!!

Easy – Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits with Sausage Gravy

Buttermilk Biscuits

These Buttermilk Biscuits with Sausage Gravy are a staple in every Southern household. We may not eat this everyday but most of us grew up eating biscuits and gravy! The cream or white gravy alone is a must for Southern Fried Chicken or Southern Chicken Fried Steak!

I used a hot breakfast sausage because we like a little heat. Use your favorite breakfast sausage in the recipe. I always use whole milk when making gravy. 2% would likely work, but I kind of think the whole milk works a little better.

  • 1/2 cup butter, cold and grated or shortening
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold buttermilk
  • 2 tsp honey (optional)

For the Biscuits
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Add the flour, salt, and baking powder to a large bowl. Grate the cold butter into the dry ingredients and with a pastry cutter, two forks or my favorite, your hands, cut the butter into the flour until coarse crumbs form. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the buttermilk and the honey. Stir just to combine. Do not overwork.Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently mold it into a rough looking rectangle using your hands. Fold one side into the center, then the other side. Turn the dough so it’s long horizontally. Gently flatten. Repeat the folding again. Turn the dough so it’s long horizontally once more. Gently flatten. Repeat the folding one more time.Gently roll the dough out with a rolling pin until it’s 1 inch thick. Cut into 3-inch circles. Re-roll any scraps until you have 9-12 biscuits. Arrange in a 10-inch cast iron skillet or close together on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. (Make sure they’re touching.)Brush the tops with a little buttermilk. Bake for 15 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown on top.Brush the tops with butter. Enjoy warm! Place the leftover biscuits in a zip lock back or air tight container and store in the refrigerator for 4 or 5 days.
