What did I cook this weekend.....

[flars]

Chicken breast schnitzel a couple nights ago. The salad to go with it.

 

[bob1852]

Singapore noodles.

Oh gawd. I have been CRAVING fried chicken. Bought some at Church's because NOBODY here fries it properly - they want to make "chicken fried chicken" which is a breaded flattened boneless chicken breast served with the same gravy you'd put on chicken fried steak. NOT what I want.

The Church's was barely acceptable. But THAT my friend, looks SCRUMPTIOUS! I guess I'm gonna have to break out the 12" cast iron chicken fryer and do it myself if I want it done right!

Agreed! Fried chicken needs to be bone in, skin on thighs!

Couldn't agree more! :rockin:

KOTC prefers the breasts and wings, I like the legs and thighs, so between us, we lick the platter clean! Oh wait, that's some other thing about fat.... LOL!

Breasts are ok only with skin on and bone in. Best served cold though with hot sauce

When it comes to hot fried chicken i will take drummies (not drumsticks) over any part of the chicken. Its like a cross between white and dark meat. Whole wings work fine for me too.

BTW, Church's around here has been nasty for YEARS. Popeyes, Porters or Hodacks are about the only ones worth buying. Some of the "dives" in the not so great parts of town also have killer fried chicken.

 

[Temptd2]

We have KFC or Church's. We both agreed that Church's wasn't as good as KFC. Not enough seasoning.

I will say, though, that the way in which they hacked up the chicken was interesting - the wings had HUGE chunks of breast meat attached to them!

I swear, 80% of my ideas for dinner come from this thread. Tonight's dinner is an odd to a few posts up. Chicken schnitzel with spaetzle. Oktoberfest in the background

Trying to get a pic to post, but made a big steak and coconut shrimp for dinner.

Fried chicken.

God. I hate you.

 

[LakesideBrewing]

God. I hate you.

I get that a lot.

 

[bob1852]

Beer brat, beer cheese, and homemade pretzel bun. Oh, and broccoli. I may have put some beer cheese on the broccoli after I took the picture.

It's not a meal without three square servings of beer and cheese

Ribeyes, well had zuccs and quinoa and sweet potatoes

Smashburgers, mine had brie, KOTC had cheddar and Swiss on his. Mustard tater salad on the side. No pics. Too hungry to think about such things!

 

[Remmy]

Pho night.

Spent grain lemon poppyseed muffins to bring to work tomorrow - spent grains from an oatmeal stout on the left and a tripel on the right.

Degreasing sausage for gumbo.

Crap. Can’t delete the duplicate sausage picture. Deslimeing okra.

[TheDudeLebowski]

Literal sausage party.

How do you know when a gumbeaux roux is done? When you run out of beer, need to pee, and are just tired of stirring!

Sorry for the double picture. App is doing strange things tonight, telling me I don’t have permission to post, making me log in again, etc.

 

[Staestc]

The coolest thing about cooking, IMO, is the smell of the trilogy hitting a scorching hot roux.

Sorry again dammit. Not sure if it is the forum app or the crappy iPhone update. Guessing it is the Apple software, given all the other problems it is causing.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Looks great, I haven't cooked in a few days, because of travel. I'll see what tomorrow brings... I feel like I should eat salad, after St Louis BBQ, Ruth's Chris, and many great local craft beers.

 

[Homercidal]

Felt the urge last night, so I breaded some chicken and pan fried it and served with Rice-a-Roni (Had to use up those boxes!) and steamed some broccoli.

Pretty Quick and easy and used up some older ingredients. Family loved it.

The breaded chicken was pretty good, but I think it could work better as smaller pieces ala nuggets.

 

[user 211287]

More spicy curry noodles with Thai chili paste, fish cakes, crab sticks, shallots and my homemade gochu/lumbre powder. Im still sweating a little.

 

[kev211]

Red wine braised short rib with the cooking liquid reduced as a sauce. Mashed potatoes and green beans.
