Provided by Claire Thomas : Food Network

Time 3h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
One 4 1/2-to-5-pound roasting chicken, giblets removed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 gallon vegetable oil
3 russet potatoes

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the salt, sugar, garlic powder onion powder, paprika, pepper and turmeric. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the seasoning for the fries. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Liberally sprinkle some of the remaining seasoning inside the chicken. Brush the outside of the chicken with the melted butter and sprinkle with the rest of the remaining seasoning, Roast the chicken until the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165 degrees F, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the chicken and cover with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes.
  • For the fries: Heat the oil in a deep heavy pot over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, slice your russets into fries about a 1/4-inch thick, skin on. When the oil is ready, add a third of the fries and stir once with some tongs just to make sure they don't clump together. Cook until a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Cook the remaining fries in batches. Set aside on a tray lined with paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with the reserved chicken seasoning.
  • Serve the chicken with the fries.

HOMEMADE CHEETOS



Homemade Cheetos image

This recipe came from here: http://blogs.seattleweekly.com/voracious/2010/11/how_geeks_get_down_homemade_ch.php Yield is a made up amount... I have no idea how much this recipe makes. (Not on the original recipe, but reading the ingredients of my Cheetos, I noticed they use sour cream as well... No clue how to work that in, but someone with more talent might be able to figure that out.. If you do, please comment and share)

Categories     Grains

Time 40m

Yield 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup small pearl tapioca
2 tablespoons small pearl tapioca
1 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
1/2 teaspoon water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon salt (separated)
1 3/4 cups white cornmeal
1/2 cup milk
2 egg whites
canola oil, for frying

Steps:

  • ​A Seattle Food Geek Recipe for Making Your Own Beecher's Flagship Cheetos.
  • Working time: 40 minutes.
  • Total kitchen time: 40 minutes.
  • Special equipment: coffee grinder, food processor, cookie press with 1/2 circular die, pastry bag with 1/2 round tip, or cookie gun.
  • For the powdered cheese:.
  • 1. Preheat your oven to 170°F, or its lowest setting above that.
  • 2. Grind the tapioca pearls in a coffee grinder for 1 minute, or until they turn to a very fine powder. Set aside.
  • 3. In a small saucepan, combine the water and grated cheese over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  • 4. When the cheese is fully melted into a clump-free, runny sauce, transfer it to the bowl of your food processor. Add the powdered tapioca and blend on high until it forms thick granules, about 30 seconds. If your mixture doesn't form granules, but forms a dough instead, add 1 teaspoons additional tapioca and continue mixing.
  • 5. Transfer the mixture to a nonstick or lined baking sheet and spread in a thin, even layer. Bake at 170°F for 45 minutes, or until the mixture is dry to the touch. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cheese powder to cool 10 minutes.
  • 6. Add the cheese powder to the coffee grinder. Add 1/2 teaspoons salt and grind 1 minute, or until it turns to a very fine powder.
  • For the Cheetos:.
  • 1. In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, milk, egg whites, and 1 teaspoons salt. Mix until combined and lump-free.
  • 2. Add the cornmeal mixture to your cookie gun, and ensure that you can extrude it through the die. If the mixture is too dry, return it to the bowl and add 1 tablespoons milk. If the mixture is too wet to hold its shape, return it to the bowl and add 1 tablespoons of corn meal.
  • 3. Add canola oil to a medium saucepan until it is about 2 deep. Heat to 350°F.
  • 4. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Spread the remaining powdered cheese on a second baking sheet.
  • 5. Carefully squirt 4-6 pumps of the cornmeal mixture directly into the oil. Fry for 15 seconds, then flip and fry for an additional 15 seconds or until golden brown. Drain briefly on the paper towels, then toss immediately in the tray of cheese powder, rolling to coat. Transfer to a plate to cool. Repeat for remaining dough, ensuring that the oil temperature holds steady at 350°F.

CHEETOS - COPYCAT RECIPE - (3.4/5)



Cheetos - Copycat Recipe - (3.4/5) image

Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 12

Cheese Curls:
4 tablespoons (2 ounces) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup (4 1/4 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons yellow cornmeal
4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, finely shredded (about 1 cup)
Cheese Coating:
2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese powder
1/2 teaspoon buttermilk powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Make the cheese curls: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, salt, and garlic powder at medium-low speed for 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the flour, cornmeal, and shredded cheese. Stir together at low speed until a firm dough forms. Shape into a disc and place on a large sheet of plastic wrap; wrap tightly and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat liners. Pinch off small pieces of the chilled dough and gently roll between your palms and fingers to form lumpy logs roughly 2 to 2 1/2 inches long and 1/4 to 1/2 inch across. Place on the prepared baking sheets-you can space them fairly close together because they won't puff up while baking. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the pieces are no longer shiny and are just beginning to brown around the edges. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Add the coating: Place the cheese powder, buttermilk powder, salt, and cornstarch in a spice grinder or mini food processor and whir for 10 to 15 seconds to blend evenly. Transfer to a large zip-top bag. Add the cooled Cheetos, seal, and shake gently to coat evenly. Store the coated cheese curls at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week.
