CHERRY CHICKEN
Lightly floured chicken pieces with the sweet flavoring of dark cherries and orange slices make a great entree that can be served over rice or alone with a salad for a lighter meal. Boneless pieces can be used if desired.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then coat with flour. Fry in the hot oil until browned, turning as needed. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for about 25 minutes or until meat is tender and juices run clear.
- Remove the chicken from the pan, and pour off all but 1/4 cup of the drippings. Return to medium heat and stir in the cherries, reserving some of the cherry liquid for later. Stir in sugar and bring to a boil. Dissolve the cornstarch in the reserved cherry liquid, then stir into the pan. Cook, stirring gently, until thickened.
- Add orange slices and almonds to the skillet, then return the chicken pieces to the skillet. Spoon sauce over the chicken to coat, and simmer over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

RITZY CHEDDAR CHICKEN BREASTS
They're as good as they sound: cheesy chicken cutlets coated with buttery Ritz crackers. Skipping the usual flour-egg-bread crumb dredge, this recipe relies instead on a flavorful base layer of tangy sour cream, which has lactic acid that tenderizes boneless, skinless chicken breasts beautifully. When it comes to breaded white meat, thin cutlets are ideal, which you can buy from the store or achieve by slicing thick breasts in half horizontally (no pounding necessary). They cook more evenly this way, staying tender throughout as they're quickly baked in a hot oven. Serve with something fresh - a big green salad, perhaps - to balance the wonderful richness of this nostalgic number.

Steps:
- Position rack in the bottom third of the oven and heat oven to 450 degrees. Place an ovenproof wire rack over a sheet pan. Dab a folded-up paper towel with olive oil and rub it over the wire rack to grease it.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, egg white and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with salt. Lay the chicken flat on a cutting board and carve each breast in half horizontally so you end up with four thin cutlets. Add the chicken to the sour cream mixture, and using your hands, smear the sour cream all over the chicken.
- In a large bowl, crush the Ritz crackers into coarse pieces with your fingers. Some crackers will turn to rubble while others turn to dust. Add the cheese, garlic powder, onion powder and olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss until evenly distributed. Holding one of the chicken cutlets by its thinner end, add to the bowl with the crumbs, and using your hands, pack the crumbs onto the chicken, pressing them in to create a thick coating. Transfer the breaded chicken to the rack in the sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining three cutlets.
- Bake the cutlets until the outsides are crispy and the insides are no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Let the chicken cool slightly so the coating can set, about 5 minutes, before transferring to plates and serving.
CHESTER'S FRIED CHICKEN
Crispy, flaked and juicy fried chicken. I got this recipe from Chester who also attened a culinary class at CFJP. Chester recommends that if you have not had much experience frying chicken start with the drumsticks. When I made this I seasoned the chicken as directed, but for my family this was to salty, so next time I'll just season my flour. I did use 1 cup of flour and coated 6 chicken drumsticks. I used my deep fryer and fryed the chicken 15 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality, fresh ingredients: This will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Look for free-range, organic chicken and fresh vegetables.
- Marinate the chicken: This will help to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs is a good place to start.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you're using a grill, cook the chicken over indirect heat.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the chicken before removing it from the heat.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Cherkez chicken can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, vegetables, or salad.
