Tell me some of your favorite recipes in preparing this popular poultry.
I'm baking a whole chicken right now and I can already smell the aroma wafting from the oven.
Chicken has been cooked down through the centuries and remains one of the best loved foods ever.
It is one of the best comfort foods, and is said to have healing qualities. Don't feel well? Try chicken soup.

Here are a few recipes for my favorite Chicken. They are from resturants. I also like grilled chicken. Your roasted chicken looks so good. I have not roasted a chicken in a long time. I may have to go get one and roast it.
Chick−Fil−A Chicken Sandwich
3 cups peanut oil
1 egg
1 cup Milk
1 cup flour
2 1/2 Tb. powdered sugar
1/2 ts. pepper
2 teas. salt
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, halved
4 plain hamburger buns
2 Tb. melted butter
8 dill pickle slices
Heat the peanut oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat to
about 400 degrees. In a small bowl, beat the egg and stir in the
milk. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, pepper, and salt.
Dip each piece of chicken in milk until it is fully moistened.
Roll the moistened chicken in the flour mixture until completely
coated. Drop all four chicken pieces into the hot oil and close the
pressure cooker. When steam starts shooting through the pressure
release, set the times for 3 1/2 minutes.
IMPORTANT!!! DO NOT CLOSE STEAM RELEASE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!
While the chicken is cooking, spread a coating of melted butter
on the face of each bun. When the chicken is done, remove it from
the oil and drain or blot on paper towels. Place two pickles on
each bottom bun; add a chicken breast, then the top bun. To make
a deluxe chicken sandwich, simply add two tomato slices and a
leaf of lettuce. Mayonnaise or mustard also goes well on this sandwich.
KFC Original Fried Chicken
2−3 pounds cut−up chicken pieces
1 Quart Water
3 tablespoons Salt (for soaking)
1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon Accent (MSG)
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Soybean Oil (no substitutions) for frying
Allow chicken to soak in salted water for a half hour.
Mix egg and milk in a bowl. Mix flour, Accent, salt, and pepper
in another bowl. Preheat deep fryer to 350F, or place 3/4 inch
oil in a skillet set on medium.
Dry chicken with paper towels. Dredge in flour mixture, place in
milk/eggs, and then back to flour mixture. Do this one piece at
a time making sure that there is total coverage over entire
surface of chicken in each step.
KFC uses pressure cookers to fry chicken, which is risky to do
at home. If you are using a deep fryer, fry a few pieces at a
time for about 20 minutes, covered, turning occasionally.
Likewise, if pan frying, cook, covered, turning occasionally
for about 30 minutes. As always with chicken, check the middle
of a large piece to check for doneness.
Allow to drain on paper towels when cooking is completed.
Popeye's Fried Chicken
3 cups Self−rising flour
1 cup Cornstarch
3 tbl. Seasoned salt
2 tbl. Paprika
1 teas. Baking soda
1 pk. Italian Salad Dressing Mix Powder
1 pk. Onion Soup Mix −− (1 1/2 Ounces)
1 pk. Spaghetti sauce mix −− (1/2 Ounce)
3 tbl. Sugar
3 cups Corn flakes −− crushed
2 Eggs −− well beaten
1/4 cup Cold water
4 lb. Chicken −− cut up
Combine first 9 ingredients in large bowl. Put the cornflakes into
another bowl. Put eggs and water in a 3rd bowl. Put enough corn oil
into a heavy roomy skillet to fill it 1" deep. Get it HOT! Grease a
9x12x2 baking pan. Set it aside. Preheat oven to 350~. Dip chicken
pieces 1 piece at a time as follows: 1−Into dry coating mix. 2−Into
egg and water mix. 3−Into corn flakes. 4−Briskly but briefly back
into dry mix. 5−Drop into hot oil, skin−side−down and brown 3 to 4
minutes on medium high. Turn and brown other side of each piece.
Don't crowd pieces during frying. Place in prepared pan in single
layer, skin−side−up. Seal in foil, on 3 sides only, leaving 1 side
loose for steam to escape. Bake at 350~ for 35−40 minutes removing
foil then to test tenderness of chicken. Allow to bake uncovered 5
minutes longer to crisp the coating. Serves 4. Leftovers refrigerate
well up to 4 days. Do not freeze these leftovers. Leftover coating
mix (1st 9 ingredients) can be stored at room temp in covered
container up to 2 months.-

I am thrilled I can use my kitchen again. the AC is pumping and the temperatures and humidity have released our region from their unkind heat-wave grip! I might bake something sweet later, and some breads tomorrow!
