Harte Posted June 6, 2018 Author #26 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Glad to hear it. Now maybe I've taken out a little of the guesswork and you can duplicate what she made. I didn't really learn this by watching. I learned the pieces by eating! LOL It was several phone calls made after I moved out and missed her chicken badly. That, and reading a book called "Cutting Up in the Kitchen" by Merle Ellis who, apparently, is (or was) a pretty well-known butcher. It's a good book for any kind of kitchen (and even some backyard) butchery. I want to point out that these postings took so long that, by the time I was done, it was too late to edit out the typos in several of the posts. I'm not much of a typist, but I didn't know the edit window was so small here. Harte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted June 6, 2018 #27 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I'm lazy...I fry the already cut up skinless chicken thighs. I use the batter method and double dip (fry it for a bit then dip it again) method. I use pancake batter seasoned with salt, paprika, white pepper and cayenne. I use a deep cast iron skillet very similar to Harte's, I like using canola oil as it doesn't mess with the taste. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harte I hear ya I've always processed and spiced my wild game on my own,butchering takes a lot more skill than most realize and is one of the most ignored "luxeries" we kinda enjoy today at the supermarket without a 2nd thought...really easy to mess it all up! Eta Don't worry about the typing,look at the mess i usually leave behind on here lol Edited June 6, 2018 by CrimsonKing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWoo7 Posted March 25, 2019 #30 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) So much thanks, and you talk of the medium/media in here oh the FORMAT but I can tell you as far as text book (which yours is better!!!!!!!)-- well for me it was light years more interesting than some of my cookbooks and this part I loved the most """"""" Except when she's buying beer. " Far as cookbooks go- all of them in the 50' and 60's might be re-issued- well it should be WORLD LAW that everyone has to have two copies MANDATORY as a reminder that that is how Life was once upon a time. Like that would ever happen *** jumps down off soap box making a quick exit*. Edited March 25, 2019 by MWoo7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harte Posted March 25, 2019 Author #31 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Thanks. I wrote a thread about making pumpkin pies on another forum. I copied it here, but the pics only came through as thumbnails. I think I deleted it. Check your messages.

MWoo7 Posted March 26, 2019 #32 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) BIG TX ON THE MESSAGES Harte, premium pie arts there going on ! Still love the chicken chopping or as we'd say GET THE CHOP STICKS !... (our blades) a while back, a few of us(college) would get the birds done quickly and we had whoever over if they wanted to eat, top floor bottom floor whoever stopping in didn't matter always plenty when you get them whole, /free! so to speak. Additionally, its hard to beat Lilly though:::: " I'm lazy...I fry the already cut up skinless chicken thighs. I use the batter method and double dip (fry it for a bit then dip it again) method.

+Pettytalk Posted May 25, 2019 #34 Share Posted May 25, 2019 You are a well rounded artist, as the culinary art is one that I cherish too. From scratch is a wonderful way to arrive at a sumptuous conclusion on the taste buds. Although the shake and bake, bag method yields imitation frying by the oven baking process, without the oily mess. But it's never the same as oil frying, and well worth the mess.

I do that one too - but I don't buy shake and bake. I use panko. Harte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
