Well, we've had a thread on smoking and grilling as well as a thread going for your best chili recipe. With the weather turning colder and hibernation setting in, what is your favorite overall recipe that you can whip up in the kitchen?

One of our favorites, and it jumps to the top of the list for me because of ease, is an Italian Chicken we make.

 

Throw some chicken breasts in a baking dish, dice up a handful of potatoes, throw in some baby carrots, and broccoli florets. Season with Italian seasoning, pour over 1 melted stick of butter and as much or as little Italian dressing as you desire. Cover with foil, and bake for an hour. End result is pure deliciousness.

We do something very similar. I'm a big fan. We will also take a similar approach with fresh mixed veggies just for a side to certain dishes. Covering with foil steams them up real well and the seasoning is fantastic.

I'll go a little less healthy with our best recipe. If I could serve only one dish it would be the fried chicken that we do.

 

We use flour, garlic salt, white pepper, paprika, poultry seasoning, salt, eggs, and beer.

 

Put the beer, a little flour and the eggs together as your wet mixture (thick like a buttermilk) and the rest as your dry.

 

We soak the chicken all day in salt water and then place it directly in the dry mix for a thin coat, take it out and then wet mixture to dry, twice.

 

Deep fry it like you would anything else.

That sounds fantastic!

It's pretty solid. The outdoor deep fryer is key here. A lot less splatter mess, the breading mess is outside, etc.

It all sounded pretty good, then you added that King Hawaiian bun and it made it great!
