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.

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Meat and Poultry     Chicken

Time 2h45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup unsalted butter
½ yellow onion, finely chopped

2 eggs, beaten
2 cups bread crumbs
2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Pour milk into butter-onion mixture to make the bechamel sauce. Whisk until incorporated. Return pan to medium-high heat and continue whisking until mixture thickens, 1 or 2 minutes; continue to cook and stir 3 or 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in salt.
  • Place chopped chicken, ham, and parsley in bowl. Add bechamel sauce and mix thoroughly. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, 2 or 3 hours.

OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN WITH CREAMY GRAVY



Oven-Fried Chicken With Creamy Gravy image

If desired you could omit oven baking and completely fry the chicken pieces in oil, increase oil to 3 cups for this, fry turning occasionally for about 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. One 3-1/2 to 4-pound chicken cut up can be used instead of the chicken thighs or use all breasts, I prefer to use all the same so the chicken cooks at the same time. *NOTE* if you wanted to take this chicken to a whole new level then brine in recipe#168990 for 24 hours, rinse the chicken thoroughly and completely under cold water, then continue with the recipe as stated, if you are using skin on chicken breasts I would highly recommend using the brine ;-)

CHICKEN SOUP KNISHES WITH CREAMY GRAVY



Chicken Soup Knishes with Creamy Gravy image

The best thing about my Nana Celie's chicken soup (other than how comforting her house smelled when she had a pot simmering on the stove) was how tender the chicken meat was no matter how long she cooked it. I later learned that her secret was to use only dark meat, which was rendered so silky it practically slipped of the bone in one piece. In this twist on a classic knish, I use only chicken thighs and turn the soup into an uber-chicken-y gravy for dunking. While you can replace the schmaltz with any neutral cooking oil, I strongly recommend sticking with dark meat chicken since white meat will cook up mealy and dry.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 4h30m

Yield 16 to 18 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons schmaltz, melted and cooled, or neutral oil, such as vegetable oil (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
2 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 garlic cloves
2 large carrots, cut into large chunks
1 large onion, chopped
1 parsnip, cut into large chunks
1 bay leaf
1/3 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves (from about 24 sprigs)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
Nonstick cooking spray, optional
1 large egg
6 tablespoons schmaltz, melted and cooled, or neutral oil, such as vegetable oil (see Cook's Note)
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • For the pastry: Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the schmaltz, vinegar and 1/2 cup water and stir into a shaggy ball with a spoon or large rubber spatula. (It's OK if some of the flour remains dry at the bottom of the bowl; the dough will come together during kneading.) Attach the dough hook to the mixer and knead on medium speed until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Dump out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it into a uniform ball, about 30 seconds. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes while making the filling. (The dough can be made and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead.) For the filling: Combine the chicken thighs, chicken broth, garlic, carrots, onion, parsnip, bay leaf, half the parsley, half the thyme and 2 teaspoons salt in a wide shallow pot and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover the pot, and simmer gently over low heat until the chicken is very soft and tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the vegetables to a second large plate. Place a strainer over a large bowl and strain the broth; reserve for the gravy. Transfer the strainer over a plate to catch any drips and set the vegetables and the broth aside. Wipe out the pot and set it back on the stove off the heat.
  • Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl and discard the bay leaf. Mash the vegetables with the back of a fork. Pick the chicken meat, discarding the skin and bones. Chop the chicken meat finely and add to the vegetable mixture. Stir in the breadcrumbs and the remaining parsley and thyme. Season generously with salt and pepper. (The filling can be made up to 1 day ahead, but the knishes need to be formed and baked on the same day.)
  • To form the knishes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray and set the pans aside.
  • Beat the egg with one tablespoon water in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Divide the dough in half: Use your hands to roll 1 of the dough halves into a 6-inch-long log on a lightly floured surface, then use a rolling pin to roll the log out into a 16-by-12-inch rectangle. The dough will be very thin. Square off the sides, if necessary, to prevent the end pieces from being too thick and uneven.
  • Position the dough so that the long edges are parallel with the edge of the counter. Shape half of the filling into a 2-by-16-inch log. Transfer the filling on top of the dough, 1 inch in from the bottom edge. Gently stretch the dough up and around the filling. (It's ok if the dough tears a little as at this stage as it will be hidden as the dough is rolled up.) Then continue rolling up the filling in the dough into a long log. Score the log in 2-inch intervals and then cut the log into 8 segments.
  • Working with one segment at a time, turn the piece so one of the cut sides is up and pinch and smooth the top until sealed. Turn over so the other cut side is facing up, and pinch and smooth that side until sealed as well. Place the formed knish with a sealed side down on one of the prepared baking sheets and then gently press down to flatten it slightly. Repeat the process with the remaining segments, pastry and filling until all the knishes have been formed. (See Cook's Note.)
  • Arrange the knishes about 1 inch apart on the baking sheets. Lightly brush the tops and sides with the reserved egg wash. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until the knishes are golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving. The knishes can be served hot, warm or at room temperature.
  • For the gravy: While the knishes are baking, melt the schmaltz in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking, until the flour smells toasty but has no color, about 1 minute. Whisk in the reserved chicken broth and cook, whisking constantly and being sure to get the flour in the corners and sides of the pan, until the mixture begins to thicken, about 1 minute. Simmer the sauce over medium heat, whisking occasionally and running the whisk around the sides and into the corners of the pan to prevent clumping, until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Season lightly with salt, if needed. Serve the warm gravy with the knishes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the gravy. Use fresh, organic chicken, and high-quality butter and cream.
  • Cook the chicken properly: Overcooked chicken will make tough, bland gravy. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the pan and set it aside.
  • Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that helps to thicken the gravy. Cook the roux over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it is golden brown.
  • Add the chicken broth and cream: Slowly whisk the chicken broth and cream into the roux. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened.
  • Season the gravy to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for extra flavor.
  • Serve the gravy immediately: Creamy chicken gravy is best served hot. Serve it over chicken, rice, pasta, or vegetables.
