Monday Munchies: Brined Oven Fried Chicken

Today I have a recipe that might not be the easiest, but is definitely worth the work.

This recipe is actually fairly simple, but requires some planning over time. The first thing is to work on brining the meat. For this, you will need:
  • Bone-in chicken
  • Water
  • Salt
  • Sugar
The exact measurements are based on how much you want to fix, but the ratio is: for every 3
pounds of chicken, have 5 cups of water, 1/2 cup salt, and 1/4 cup sugar.

The recipe we used also suggested making sure the water is salty enough by taking a small sip. I did so, and the flavor reminded me of the ocean. 😖(I proceeded to spit into the nearby sink.)

After letting the chicken soak for about 5 hours in the fridge, then you are ready to prepare it for cooking. To do this, you will need:
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 4 tablespoons margarine
This is, of course, assuming you use the same 3 pound recipe we did. Otherwise you may need extra of each ingredient. Remove the chicken from the brine and gently pat dry.

Place a small chunk of butter on top of each piece of chicken and let it melt over the meat while cooking.

Bake the chicken for 40 minutes, or until cooked through. This is an uncomplicated recipe that tastes great without the danger of popping grease from pan-frying. I hope you try this recipe and enjoy it; and feel free to leave a comment below or on Facebook.

Monday Meatloaf

So, on Saturday I gave you a simple baked potato recipe that goes great with a lot of dishes. One recipe that we tried it with was Alton's meatloaf recipe. Click the image to enlarge. There are so many types of meatloaf recipes out there, handed down from generations, that there is no "right way" to make a meatloaf. This is the recipe Alton Brown gave in his cooking guide in the roasting section. Here are the ingredients you will need:

Dolphins: Smart and Friendly

This is the second magazine article I want to share with you from Let Creation Speak , and this one is called "Dolphins: Smart and Friendly." I love dolphins, so I thought I would share some facts about them through this article. Enjoy!        The sign says "How to Meet the Dolphins. First, don't touch their blowholes. Also, don't put your hand on their heads. Pet them on their sides. Most importantly, if a dolphin offers you a fish, take it. It's a gift of friendship." This sign is posted on a beach called Monkey Mia in Australia. Every day

With Apologies to Robert Frost

I have a class for school called Speech. This is supposed to help me learn how to stand properly while speaking, pronounce words properly, and so on. The most recent section is on how to give meaning and feeling to a  poem when reading one out loud. My teacher, Mrs. Autrey, has been reciting poems to us as examples, and she uses a variety such as happy poems, sad poems, thoughtful and so on. One of them that caught my attention was a funny remake of the famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.   The original is one of my favorite poems, and I have always loved the other poetic works of Robert Frost. Here is the original poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost   Whose woods these are I think I know.    His house is in the village though;    He will not see me stopping here    To watch his woods fill up with sn...
