MAMAW'S CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE



Mamaw's Chicken and Rice Casserole image

I grew up on this recipe, my Grandmother got it from a lady from church at a pot luck a long time ago! She passed it down to my mom and it's always been a family favorite. Quick and easy for school nights, and the leftovers are just as good! You can use less butter on top of course, my Momma and Mamaw always put the full stick on top (gotta love Southern ladies and their butter!)

Hog Maw translates to Pig Stomach. Grew up with it and I'm still alive and I love this meal. Good Pennsylvania dish.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Sausage

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 large pork stomach
1 ½ pounds bulk pork sausage
1 medium head cabbage, separated into leaves and rinsed
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place the potatoes into a large pan with enough lightly salted water to cover them. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  • Wash the pork stomach thoroughly in cold water. Alternate stuffing the pork stomach with potatoes, sausage, and cabbage, seasoning with a little salt and pepper, until the stomach is full. Try to make even layers, imagining how it will look when it is done and you slice it. Fold closed, and place in a shallow roasting pan. If you have any leftover stuffing ingredients, just place them in the pan around the outside.
  • Roast uncovered for 40 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, until the sausage is cooked through and the stomach is browned and crispy. When done, slice into 2 inch slices and serve piping hot. You can make gravy out of the drippings if desired, but it is good by itself as a whole meal.

MAW MAW'S CRISPY SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN

My great grandmother is now gone, but she lives on through her delicious chicken. This is true southern chicken from Alabama at it's best!

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h15m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 whole chickens (cut in pieces)
6 egg yolks (only egg yolks here please)
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons seasoning salt (divided in half)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups flour
4 cups oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large stock pot or dutch oven over medium high heat to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium size bowl whisk the egg yolks, add in the buttermilk, and one half of the seasoning salt. Whisk to combine.
  • In a large bowl sift in the flour and baking soda. Add in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, paprika, black pepper and the other half of the seasoning salt. Stir to combine.
  • Rinse your chicken and pat the chicken pieces with paper towels until they are completely dry.
  • Coat each piece of chicken with the flour, then dip in the egg wash, then back in the flour making sure to pat the flour somewhat firmly into each piece.
  • Add each piece of chicken to the hot oil as you bread them. Breasts usually take around 11 minutes while wings, drumsticks and thighs take 6-7 minutes. Once the outer crust is dark golden brown (not dark brown) and the internal temperature is between 160-170 the chicken is done and ready to enjoy!
  • Note: Do not over crowd the pan. This will reduce the oil temperature and cause for oily chicken. Cook about 4 pieces at a time and as you remove a piece, bread another one and add it in the oil. Do not bread them all and leave them all to sit out on the counter -- bread then as you are ready to fry.
