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.

Provided by Pam Ross

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the chicken
1 whole chicken, cut into parts
milk
1 stick (1/4 pound) butter
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon seasoned salt
2 teaspoons paprika
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the gravy
2 tablespoons chopped scallion
1/2 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
3 tablespoons butter and drippings from baking dish, combined with scraped up crispy bits from chicken
2 tablespoons of the leftover flour seasoned for chicken preparation
1 cup milk
1 chicken bouillon cube (optional)

Steps:

  • Make chicken:
  • Soak chicken in milk to cover for 20 to 30 minutes. Spray a baking dish (one that will accommodate all the chicken pieces comfortably in one layer) with nonstick vegetable-oil spray.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Put the butter in the baking dish and heat it in the oven until the butter melts. Mix flour and seasonings together in paper sack or plastic baggie (1-gallon size). Shake each piece of chicken in seasoned flour. Place chicken pieces, skin-side down, in baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn chicken over and bake an additional 20 minutes or until cooked through and crispy. Remove chicken and set aside in a warm place.
  • Make gravy:
  • Sauté the scallions and mushrooms in the drippings over medium high heat, until soft. Mix the seasoned flour with milk first until you see no lumps. Whisk milk mixture into the sautéing onions and mushrooms. Taste and add bouillon cube, if desired (You may want to use additional milk if you do). Boil until thickened to preferred consistency. Put into a gravy dish and serve alongside the baked chicken.

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.

Provided by Chef John

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
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 ½ cups whole milk
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
2 cups finely chopped, cooked chicken meat
½ cup finely chopped ham
2 tablespoons freshly chopped Italian parsley
1 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed for dredging
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups bread crumbs
2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Melt butter in pan over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until onions begin to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup flour and cook until flour loses its raw taste, 3 or 4 minutes. Add black pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper; stir. Remove from heat.
  • 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.

  • Scoop out chilled mixture into evenly-sized portions (about the size of a golf ball) to form croquettes. Roll balls first in flour, then in beaten eggs, and then in bread crumbs.

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 ;-)

Tips:

  • Use a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven for frying the chicken. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before frying. This will help to tenderize the chicken and add flavor.
  • Use a combination of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and seasonings for the breading. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Fry the chicken in hot oil (350°F) until it is golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Make sure the gravy is thickened before serving. You can do this by adding a cornstarch slurry or by simmering the gravy until it reduces.
  • Serve the fried chicken with mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy for a classic Southern meal.

Conclusion:

Fried chicken with gravy is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make fried chicken that is crispy, juicy, and flavorful. So next time you are looking for a hearty meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
