Vincent Price Chicken Pudding Chicken With Yorkshire Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Joint the chickens, splitting the breasts (and removing backbone), and separating the drumsticks and thighs (you can remove skin, if you prefer); reserve the giblets, necks, and backbones.
• In a large, heavy pot, put the water, reserved giblets, necks, and backbones, and the celery, onion, parsley sprigs, oregano, salt, and pepper; simmer on medium heat for 40 minutes, then strain solids from liquid, discard solids, and reserve liquid broth.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Make the pudding topping: in a bowl, mix together flour, salt, milk, and beaten eggs, and stir until smooth.
• Prepare the fry coating: place the 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper into a large Ziplock bag, then add a few pieces of chicken and shake to coat well; repeat with all pieces.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat, then sauté the coated chicken pieces until browned; reserve drippings.
• Placed the browned chicken pieces into a large round casserole dish.
• Take chicken drippings in pan over heat and thicken with 1 tablespoon flour, then gradually add 2 cups of the reserved broth while whisking to make gravy, simmer while whisking to thicken, then add the chopped parsley (if gravy is not thickening as you'd like, sprinkle in a bit more flour - a teaspoon at a time - and simmer to desired texture).
• Pour the gravy over the chicken pieces in the casserole.
• Spread the prepared Yorkshire Pudding batter evenly over the top.
• Bake in a hot 450 degree F oven for 15 minutes; reduce temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
• Note: when chicken is almost done baking, you can make more gravy (as much as you'd like) with 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour, and some of the remaining chicken broth to the texture/thickening you'd like.

Steps:

• Combine all of the above ingredients, except chicken, in a pan.
• Heat gently, stirring until jelly is blended and sauce is smooth (it doesn't really thicken a lot, just a little bit).
• Cool.
• Pour sauce over 1 quartered chicken and marinate for 2 or 3 hours (I had a change of plans the day I prepared the marinade; mine marinated overnight).
• Cover and cook in preheated moderate oven (I used 350 degrees F for the first 40 minutes, then raised it to 375 degrees F).
• Uncover, increase oven temperature to hot (I raised it to 425 degrees F) and baste frequently until chicken is an even dark brown.
• (Before I put the chicken in at the higher temperature, I used a large spoon to take out some of the marinade/basting sauce; it seemed to make a lot to me-- I left just enough in the dish to use for basting, but not so little that it would burn at the high) Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Shake 1/2 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon salt, the pepper, and 2 teaspoons of parsley in a large plastic bag. Add the chicken, and toss to coat all over with the flour mixture. Remove the chicken, and shake to remove the excess flour. Place, breast side up, into a small, lidded roasting pan that is slightly larger than the chicken. Drizzle the oil evenly over the chicken, allowing the excess to coat the bottom of the roasting pan.
• Cover, and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
• After the chicken has roasted for 1 hour, prepare the Yorkshire pudding batter by whisking together the eggs, milk, and 1 tablespoon of parsley until blended. Add 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt; whisk until a smooth batter has formed.
• Remove the roasting pan from the oven and place onto a baking sheet. Pour the Yorkshire pudding batter evenly over the top of the chicken, allowing the excess to run into oil at the bottom of the pan.
• Return to the oven, and bake until the Yorkshire pudding is puffed and golden brown, and the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).
