MAMAW'S SOUTHERN BUTTERMILK CHICKEN



Mamaw's Southern Buttermilk Chicken image

This recipe was given to me from a friend's housekeeper, who was kind to share it with me. It was passed down through her family. Chicken would be fried early in the morning or night before, then placed in the oven to finish while at church, then served for Sunday lunch. It is the best fried chicken around! Love and thanks, Maxine!

Time 9h50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (3 pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 quarts buttermilk
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
2 tablespoons crushed garlic
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground dried sage
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Rinse the chicken, and cut the chicken breast halves in half horizontally to make 10 pieces in all. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Combine the buttermilk, hot pepper sauce, and garlic in a large plastic zipper bag. Add the chicken pieces, and squeeze the air out of the bag, close it, and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep-sided skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers but doesn't smoke. Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, sage, paprika, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Remove 2 or 3 pieces of chicken at a time from the buttermilk mixture, and press into the flour mixture until well coated. Shake off excess flour.
  • Fry 2 or 3 pieces of coated chicken at a time in the hot oil until the crust is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes (chicken meat may still be pink inside). Drain on paper towels, and place into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

FRIED CORN



Fried Corn image

This is another of my grandmother's recipes. Back when she made this, times were tough, and so she just used bacon drippings that she saved from the morning's breakfast. But now, if you'd like, you can add 4 slices of bacon or so instead of the drippings. I posted the recipe exactly as she made it.

Categories     Corn

Time 25m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 ears of silver queen corn (or other white corn)
1/4 cup onion, finely diced (I like to use chopped green onion to add another color)
1/2 cup bacon drippings
1/2 cup butter, divided
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 cup milk or 1 cup if you want it to be ultra rich use half-and-half

Steps:

  • Over a large cast-iron skillet (or a nice, heavy skillet), cut and scrape the corn off the cobs so that you get the milky corn liquid. Add the onions to the skillet. Turn the heat to high.
  • Add the bacon drippings and 1/4 cup of the butter to the skillet. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for 3 minutes, browning the corn before stirring. Reduce the heat to medium.
  • Stir in the milk and continue cooking until the milk is absorbed. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of butter. Cook until the butter is melted and mixed throughout.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn on the cob for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen corn kernels. Just thaw them before using.
  • Be sure to drain the corn well before cooking it. This will help to prevent the corn from becoming soggy.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the corn. This will help to ensure that the corn cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet or griddle. This will also help to ensure that the corn cooks evenly.
  • Cook the corn over medium-high heat until it is golden brown and tender.
  • Season the corn with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
  • Serve the corn immediately.

Conclusion:

Mamaw's fried corn is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give Mamaw's fried corn a try.
