2 tablespoons creme fraiche or sour cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon horseradish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Pour half the contents of each beer can into a shallow roasting pan, then set the cans upright in the pan.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the butter with the Three's BBQ Dry Rub and set aside. Rinse the chickens and pat dry. Generously rub chickens inside and out with the seasoned butter, being sure to stuff some butter under the skin as well. Put one lemon quarter in each cavity and then slide the chickens over the beer cans. Add the orange peels to the pan. Roast for 1 hour.
  • Pull the pan from the oven and generously ladle the Orange-Hoisin Glaze over the chickens. Return to the oven and cook until the glaze has caramelized and turned a dark golden amber, about 25 minutes. When done, the internal temperature of the thigh meat should register 160 degrees F. Let the chickens rest, lightly tented with foil, for about 15 minutes. Carefully cut out the back bone of each chicken and cut the breast down the center.

  • In a medium saucepot over medium-high heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Add the orange juice, hoisin, garlic, onions, orange rind and juice, lemon rind and juice, lime rind and juice, lemongrass, jalapeno and ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • In a deep saucepot, heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Fry the brussels sprouts until the edges start to turn golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove with a spider and drain on paper towels.
  • In a medium wok or saute pan over medium-high heat, add the bacon fat and bacon. Then add the ginger, garlic, carrots and fried brussels sprouts; stir-fry for about 3 minutes. Add the balsamic and kimchee and cook, tossing, until everything is evenly glazed. Turn off the heat and add the basil. Divide into 4 portions and garnish with Parmesan.
  • Fill a large pot with 1 gallon of water. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rolling simmer (medium-low heat) and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the whipping cream, garlic, rosemary and thyme and in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the cream is infused, about 10 minutes. Strain and keep warm.
  • Drain the potatoes when they are done and return them to the pot over low heat. Using a potato masher, mash in the infused cream, creme fraiche, butter, horseradish, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper until just combined.

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN TACOS WITH BACON GRAVY



Southern Fried Chicken Tacos With Bacon Gravy image

Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: One of my favorite comfort foods is fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy. I also love tacos so I decided to put my favorite comfort food in a taco. The creaminess of the mashed potatoes offsets the spiciness of the chipotle fried chicken and the roasted corn salsa completes the taco.

Provided by makeelan_9648031

Categories     Potato

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

8 ounces chicken tenders, about 8 tenders
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon chipotle chile in adobo
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons taco seasoning
1 cup canola oil
5 pieces bacon
1 tablespoon bacon grease
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 (5 ounce) can cooking spray
1 ear of corn, grilled
1 cup cherry tomatoes, seeds removed and chopped small
1 cup avocado, peeled, seeded and chopped small
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 (24 ounce) package Simply Potatoes Traditional Mashed Potatoes
8 (6 inch) white corn tortillas
3 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • To make the marinade, mix the buttermilk and chipotle peppers in a medium sized bowl and mix to combine. Add a ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Add the chicken tenders and marinade in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. If you want spicier chicken, you can marinade up to 2 hours.
  • To make the roasted corn salsa, heat a barbecue grill or grill pan and heat to medium heat. Spray with a non stick cooking spray. Grill the corn on all sides until slightly charred but cooked through. Remove from the grill and cut the kernels off. In a small bowl, mix together the charred corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, avocado and a pinch of kosher salt and pepper and set aside.
  • To make the bacon gravy, heat a large sauté pan to medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until browned and cooked through on both sides. Remove the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Once drained and cool, chop the bacon into ½ inch pieces and set aside. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease left in the sauté pan and heat the pan to medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of flour to the pan. Cook the flour for about 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Slowly pour in the milk and whisk. Cook until the gravy thickens up, but not too thick, about 3-4 minutes. Add the kosher salt, pepper and the crisp bacon to the gravy and mix. Turn the heat off the stove but keep the gravy warm.
  • To fry the chicken, heat a cast iron skillet or large sauté pan to medium heat. Add 1 cup canola oil. Remove the chicken tenders from the marinade and drain. Discard the marinade. Put the flour and taco seasoning in a large zip lock bag. Put the chicken tenders in the flour mixture, close the top of the bag and shake so that the chicken tenders are fully coated with the flour mixture. Remove the tenders and put on a wire rack for 10 minutes to set up. Add the canola oil to a large frying pan and heat to medium-high heat. Test the oil by dropping in a few pinches of flour in the oil to see if it sizzles. When the oil is ready, put the chicken tenders in to fry. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tenders are light golden brown and cooked through. When done, remove the chicken tenders from the oil and put on a paper towel lined plate to drain. Lightly season with kosher salt.
  • Heat a sauté pan to medium heat and rub a little canola oil around the pan. Put one tortilla at a time in the pan and heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until the tortilla has a little color. Put aside and keep warm.
  • Heat the mashed potatoes up by following the directions on the package. Keep warm.
  • To make the tacos, spread a nice helping of mashed potatoes on top of the warm tortilla and then put one chicken tender on top. Drizzle the bacon gravy on top. Top with the salsa and serve.
  • **If your chicken tenders are slightly larger than normal, cut the chicken tenders in half lengthways. Tenders on the taco should be just a little fatter than your index finger.
  • Makes 8 tacos or serves 4.

JAN'S PAN FRIED CHICKEN, BACON AND FETA CHEESE



Jan's Pan Fried Chicken, Bacon and Feta Cheese image

Simple and delicious combination of bacon, cheese and chicken. I made it up myself but it goes really nicely served with 'Ainsley Harriott's' Lemon Couscous and roasted Mediterranean vegetables. A real mixture of flavours.

Provided by Jan-Luvs2Cook

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

250 g bacon
2 chicken breast fillets
200 g feta cheese

Steps:

  • Cut the bacon - either streaky or back bacon into small 1cm cubes. (You could use diced pancetta, although it may be a bit too salty).
  • Cut the chicken fillets into thin strips.
  • Cut the feta into cubes.
  • Pan fry the bacon until well cooked, the more caramelised, sticky bits in pan the better! (You may need to add a little oil to the pan if you use back bacon).
  • Remove when cooked and set aside.
  • Do not wash the pan at this stage, keep the nice brown sticky bits in the pan and use to fry the chicken. As the chicken has been thinly sliced it wont take long to cook through.
  • Now put the bacon back in the pan on top of the chicken along with the feta cubes, lower the heat for a couple of minutes until the feta just begins to melt.
  • Be careful not to overcook or it will look a mess!
  • Serve straight away.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bacon. Thick-cut bacon is best for chicken-fried bacon, as it will hold up better durante cooking.
  • Use a flavorful breading. The breading is what gives chicken-fried bacon its signature flavor, so make sure to use a blend of spices and herbs that you enjoy. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Fry the bacon in hot oil. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside and a tender, juicy inside.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the bacon will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the chicken-fried bacon immediately. This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Chicken-fried bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it as an appetizer, a main course, or a side dish, chicken-fried bacon is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a new way to cook bacon, give chicken-fried bacon a try. You won't be disappointed.
