Buttermilk Fried Chicken

Fried chicken has always been a top favorite. I like fried chicken and I want to try the best fried chicken recipes around. My mission is to try all the fried chicken recipes that claim to be the best and share them with you, our loyal followers and friends.

A good fried chicken should be juicy and tender in the inside while crispy in the outside, at least for me. This Buttermilk Fried Chicken recipe has all the three characteristics that I am looking for plus it is less greasy.

This recipe makes use of buttermilk which, in my opinion, does a great job in tenderizing the chicken and keeping its juices. Buttermilk is a low fat fermented dairy product made from cow’s milk. This has a sour taste brought about by the lactic acid bacteria that it holds.

We all know that fried chicken is cooked by frying the chicken in oil (that’s how it got its name in the first place). You might find this recipe a little unusual because the process also involves baking. You see, baking the chicken after frying for a short time makes it crispy in the outside and maintains all the juice inside while it cooks; it also lets excess oil drip.

Chicken Teriyaki Recipe

Chicken Teriyaki is a well known Japanese Chicken dish that is also a lunch staple in Japan. This dish has become very famous as evidenced by the different styles in making it.

Although this is a foreign dish, Filipinos learned to love and enjoy it. Currently, there are several restaurants in the Philippines serving their own versions of this dish.

I am a fan of this dish because of its good taste and easy preparation. Although some ingredients may not be readily available, I make sure that I always have them (sake, mirin etc.) in the pantry in case the need arises.

This recipe is a grilled version of Chicken Teriyaki. I find it that a little smoky flavor helps make this dish taste better.

Chicken Sopas Recipe

Chicken Sopas is a soup dish filled with diced or shredded boneless chicken meat and elbow macaroni noodles. This chicken soup is a common breakfast or snack food among Filipino families particularly during the rainy season. Since this is a family favorite, most Filipino families have their own treasured Chicken Sopas recipe. I’m guessing that some recipes might even be passed from generation to generation.

The difference of Chicken Sopas from other traditional chicken soups is the use of milk. Fresh or even evaporated milk is added to the soup along with the chicken and different vegetables for a richer flavor. The addition of other meats such as diced hotdogs or luncheon meat in some recipes can also be considered as one of the factors that make this soup dish different from the traditional ones. I, for one, have tried almost all the versions of this dish (I even tried one recipe that makes use of chicken liver) and they were all great.

This particular recipe is one of the simplest recipes that I tried. I shot the video during our 3 day camping adventure at Indiana Dunes. In order to save some time and avoid a lot of mess, I used diced boneless chicken meat and chicken broth rather than deriving stock by boiling bone-in chicken. The taste is pretty much the same but you can save more money if you do it the traditional way: boiling bone-in chicken to make chicken stock and manually removing the meat from the bones.

By the way, the noodles and vegetables may vary depending on the recipe. Feel free to use the appropriate vegetables that you desire.

Can I also request you to share your way of making Chicken Sopas for the benefit of everyone? I am excited to learn from you.

Cashew Chicken Recipe

Cashewed Chicken is an Oriental dish that definitely fits the Filipino Palate. Thinly sliced chicken breast is coated with egg and cornstarch then stir fried until crispy and golden brown. An array of colors brought about by the different vegetables makes this dish more appealing. Let’s not forget the roasted cashew nuts that adds flavor and texture to the dish.

Fried Chicken with White Gravy Recipe

Fried chicken is chicken coated with a breading mixture or batter and pan fried (or deep fried if that is the case). Usually, the meaty part of the chicken is used for this dish but who could resist fried chicken wings. The purpose of the breading (or batter) is to make the outer-part of the chicken crispy (crispy-licious ummm!).

There are several ways to fry a chicken and this fried chicken recipe is just one of the hundreds out there. I personally liked this recipe because of its richness in flavor. The chicken is crispy and tasty on the outside but juicy in the inside.
