CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN WITH WHITE GRAVY



Chicken Fried Chicken with White Gravy image

A true Southern comfort food, legend has it that chicken fried chicken was created by German immigrants in Texas during the 19th century when they adapted the wiener schnitzel by using beef instead of veal that was then twice-breaded and fried like fried chicken. In reality, chicken fried chicken and its cousin, chicken fried steak, are more closely related to Southern fried chicken, already popular throughout the American South by the 19th century. Over the years, the chicken fried steak technique was also used on chicken breasts, pounded thin and soaked in buttermilk, resulting in crispy, tender chicken. Like its steak counterpart, chicken fried chicken should be served with a peppery white gravy.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 large egg
Canola, vegetable or peanut oil, for frying
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Fit cooling racks into 2 baking sheets.
  • Place 1 chicken breast in a one-gallon resealable plastic bag with the seal left open (alternatively, place between 2 pieces of plastic wrap). Pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until it is 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce and egg in a medium bowl. Set up a dredging station by arranging the chicken, dry ingredients, wet ingredients and prepared baking sheet in an assembly line. Dredge 1 chicken breast in the dry ingredients to coat, then dip in the wet ingredients and shake off any excess. Dredge once again in the dry ingredients to coat and transfer to one of the cooling racks. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Fill a deep cast-iron skillet with 3/4 to 1 inch of oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Working in 2 batches, fry the chicken until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Place on the second cooling rack and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.
  • For the gravy: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking continuously, until light brown, about 2 minutes. Pour in the milk in a steady stream while whisking. Add 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, then the vinegar. Cook at a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Serve the chicken fried chicken topped with the white gravy.

VALERIE'S GRAVY FOR FRIED TURKEY



Valerie's Gravy for Fried Turkey image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     condiment

Time 45m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups turkey stock
Turkey neck and gizzards from 1 turkey (no liver)
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 shallot, halved
3 tablespoons hot oil from Deep-Fried Turkey, recipe follows (see Cook's Note)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Freshly squeezed lemon juice, as needed
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
One 12-pound turkey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, add the turkey stock, turkey neck, gizzards, thyme, bay leaf and shallot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and simmer for 30 minutes. Strain out the solids. If a chunky gravy is desired, chop the gizzards and return them to the simmered stock in the saucepan. Keep warm.
  • In a straight-sided saute pan, add the hot oil and flour and cook over medium-high to high heat until the mixture is light brown in color (for a dark gravy, cook the flour to a deeper brown color). Add 2 cups of the warm stock, whisking constantly, and cook until the gravy thickens and bubbles. Add more warm stock if a thinner consistency is desired. Reduce the heat to low and add salt and pepper to taste (this will depend on how salty the stock is). Add a squeeze of lemon juice and taste again for seasoning. Keep warm until ready to serve, adding more warm stock as needed.
  • Just before serving, remove from the heat and swirl in the butter until melted. Pour into a gravy boat and serve.
  • Let the turkey come to room temperature, then pat it dry thoroughly and season it generously with salt and pepper inside and out.
  • Fill a countertop indoor turkey fryer with the indicated amount of oil according to the manufacturer's instructions (see Cook's Note) and heat to 400 degrees F. Carefully lower the turkey into the fryer and cook for 35 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh should register approximately 165 degrees F. Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest 30 minutes before carving.

DEEP-FRIED CREAMY CHICKEN GRAVY



Deep-Fried Creamy Chicken Gravy image

These came out a lot creamier than what I was after, so these chicken croquettes are more like deep-fried chicken gravy. Still, they're delicious. If you reduce the amount of butter and milk, you'll come closer to what I was after.

Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy Recipe image

This Chicken Fried Steak is so easy to throw together on busy nights and tastes absolutely amazing.

Provided by Lauren

Categories     Main Course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds beef bottom round ((with excess fat trimmed off))
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 cup flour
3 eggs (beaten)
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
¼ cup flour
2 cups chicken broth
½ cup whole milk
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.

Place the eggs into a separate pie pan. Dredge the meat on both sides in the flour. Pound meat to tenderize, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick. Once tenderized, dredge the meat again in the flour, followed by the egg and finally in the flour again. Repeat with all the pieces of meat. Place the meat onto a plate and allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking.
  • Place enough of the vegetable oil to cover the bottom of a 12-inch skillet and set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to simmer, add the meat in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each piece on both sides until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a baking sheet or pan and place into the oven. Repeat until all of the meat is browned.
