Maryland Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Wash the chicken parts and pat dry.
• Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Dip chicken into milk and dredge in flour mixture. Repeat.
• Deep fry at 360°F for 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and sit the chicken in a small roasting tin. Mix all the spices with 2 tsp salt using a pestle and mortar - try to grind the oregano finely so that it doesn't burn. Rub the spice mix over the chicken with some oil, and cover loosely with foil.
• Sit the potatoes in another tin, and put them in the oven together with the chicken. After 30 mins, remove the foil. Pierce the banana once in the skin with a knife and put alongside the potatoes, and roast with the chicken for another 30 mins.
• Check the potatoes are soft, then remove them and the banana from the oven. Leave the chicken to cook for a final 10 mins. Split the potatoes and banana, and scrape all the flesh into a saucepan. Add 1 tsp salt, half the butter and the milk, then mash together. Season.
• Check the chicken is cooked by piercing the inner thigh and ensuring the juices run clear. Lift to a serving platter and rest for 10 mins.
• To serve, spoon the mash into a dish, topped with knobs of remaining butter, and carve the chicken at the table. Serve with Creamed corn & bacon (recipe in 'goes well with', right).

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, melt butter and heat together with olive oil.
• Meanwhile, fillet chicken breasts so they are thinner and dredge in the flour seasoned to your taste with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• Saute chicken in hot butter/oil until golden brown on both sides, about 7 minutes per side.
• Add cream, wine, dijon mustard, salt and pepper to taste and crabmeat. Simmer 5 minutes. Serve over rice.
• If serving over biscuits, remove the chicken from the pan after browning and dice into chunks then return to pan and proceed with the rest as written.
