CINNAMON CHICKEN
Every time I hear the words "Cinnamon Chicken" I am reminded of the tv series Little House on the Prairie and the famous episode where Nellie asks Laura to help her cook Almanzo's favorite meal. Laura is jealous of Nellie and replaces the cinnamon with tons of black pepper. Anyway, here is a recipe I clipped from a magazine a long time ago that brings the image of what that dish might have tasted like(if Laura had not tampered with it lol). This was adapted from a magazine clipping.

Steps:
- Combine juice, honey, lemon juice, garlic, seasonings in a large ziptop container.
- Add chicken pieces, seal bag, shake to coat well and let marinade in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
- Heat oven to 350°F and have ready a large roasting pan, 9" x 13".
- Remove chicken from the marinade, shake off the excess and set chicken aside on a plate.
- Pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and boil until it has reduced to 1 cup and has begun to thicken (about 10-15 minutes).
- Heat oil in a skillet and brown chicken parts over fairly high heat just a few minutes per side, lowering heat if needed to prevent from charring- you want the chicken to be evenly browned, but not fully cooked yet.
- Place chicken in the roasting pan and pour the reduced marinade on top.
- Bake 30-55 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and no no longer pink (will vary based on the chicken pieces you use).
- Skim fat from the pan juices and serve juices as a dipping sauce if you like.
- Garnish with lemon wedges.

CINNAMON CHICKEN
Chicken breasts baked with cinnamon and other seasonings. This is a recipe that I created while working at a flight kitchen. We had cinnamon in the spice collection that nobody used for anything, so I decided to try it on chicken and the flight crews and my family loved it!

FRIED CHICKEN (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE)
This is from the Little House on the Prarie cookbook. It is an old recipe but very good. I actually like it better cold the next day than fresh. If you are looking for one with a heavy batter or KFC style, this isn't for you. I have no idea if my cooking time is accurate...

Steps:
- Place chicken pieces in a large bowl and sprinkle with vinegar and salt.
- Cover with cold water and set aside (I put it in the fridge) for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- After 30 minutes (or so) heat the oil in a frying pan (I use a cast iron skillet) over medium/high heat. Let the oil come up 1/4 to 1/2 way up the sides of the pan.
- Drain chicken and, one at a time, coat with flour.
- Fry the chicken in hot oil until brown on all sides.
- You can either finish the chicken in oven or lower the heat, so it doesn't burn, and cook the chicken through in the pan.

Tips:
- Always start with a well-browned chicken. This will give the dish a richer flavor.
- Use a good quality cinnamon. Ground cinnamon is best, but you can also use cinnamon sticks if you prefer. Just be sure to remove them before serving.

- Serve the chicken with a side of rice or vegetables. This will help to round out the meal.
