Iron Chef : Bisquick???
I love Bisquick as a cooking-impaired chef.
Tonight’s menu is Iron Chef style… featuring Bisquick!
(Iron Chef says that the theme ingredient must be in each dish.)
Fried chicken
Fried okra
Strawberry shortcake
(and corn on the cob as an accent :))
Chicken + okra ingredients:
Bisquick!
Chicken breasts (I did a single breast tonight.)
Frozen okra
1 eggCornmeal
Seasonall (or seasonings to taste.)
Solid veggie shortening
To prepare:
Melt shortening in pan with lid.
While it heats, cut up chicken as desired. (I do mine in 2 bite pieces.)
Crack an egg in one bowl, put about 1c bisquick in another, and do a third with seasonall (or your seasonings.)
Dip chicken in egg and fully coat. Dip one side in seasoning and drop in Bisquick.
Fully coat and drop it in the oil to cook. (My small pieces take about 3-4 minutes.)
Throw your okra in a colander and rince it with warm water.
Throw it in a bowl with 1/2c bisquick, 1/3c cornmeal and about a tablespoon of seasoning.
Stir to fully coat.
Once your chicken’s done, throw the okra in.
Give it about 5-7 minutes.
It should be golden and crispy.(I usually throw my chicken in for the last 30 seconds of the okra’s cooking time to heat it up…)
Shortcakes:(makes 6)
4c strawberries
1/2c sugar (for strawberries)
1/2c milk
2 1/3 cups Bisquick
3 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup sugar (for cakes)
whipped cream/ice cream/whatever you want with it.
Heat oven to 425.
Cut and hull strawberries.
Mix with sugar and stick in fridge to hang out while the cakes bake.
Mix sugar, Bisquick, milk and butter together in bowl.
Drop large spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 11 minutes.
No pictures tonight because I burned the heck out of my hand AND forearm. boooooo klutzy chef!
