Ingredients:

°12 chicken thighs.
°2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
°Oil spray.
°Here is the required season for chicken:
°3 tablespoons of garlic powder.
°3 teaspoons of onion powder.
°5 tablespoons of smoked paprika.
°2 tablespoons of black pepper.
°1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt.
°4 1/2 tablespoons plain/all-purpose flour.
°3 tablespoons of baking powder.

To prepare:

The first step
Preheat the oven to 200°C (about 390°F). Start by lining the baking sheet with aluminum foil, then place a wire rack on the baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. This will help the bottom of the drumstick become crispy.
The second phase
In a small bowl, mix all seasoning ingredients. We put chicken thighs in olive oil and mix them. To cover as much of the meat as possible with the skin, the skin should be taut and twisted on each thigh.
The third step
Coat the drumstick with the seasoning, then shake off as much of the excess as possible. Put yourself on the shelf. Start over with the remaining drumsticks.
The fourth step
Apply a thick layer of oil spray to the legs. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping the pan halfway through.
Fifth step
After increasing the oven temperature to 220°C (430°F), continue to cook the chicken for another 15 minutes or until the skin is crispy.

Spicy Fried Catfish

This classic Spicy Fried Catfish recipe is dredged in a perfectly seasoned and spiced cornmeal breading and fried until tender on the inside and crispy golden brown on the outside!! Serve up this delicious fish fry with my Fried Shrimp and serve with a side of lemon wedges, tartar sauce and coleslaw for good measure! If you love this catfish, try this tutorial on How To Fry Fish and these recipes for Oven Fried Catfish and Fish and Chips!!

Since the beginning of the New Year, I’ve been going through quite the “fish phase”. Almost everyday I find myself craving tender, moist and flaky fillets of just about any seafood I can lay my hands on. I mean, what’s there to not like? It can be baked, sauteed, grilled and best of all, fried.

A Southern girl knows her fried fish: shrimp, snapper and catfish alike. I grew up attending church sponsored fish frys and watching my grandmother and family members dredge fillets in spicy-seasoned cornmeal. The fish was always served hot and crisp with just enough oil to coat your fingertips.

Ingredients

2 lbs Catfish Nuggets

1 cup self-rising flour

1/2 cup yellow cornmeal

1/2 cup hot sauce

2 medium-sized eggs

2 tsp your favorite cajun seasoning

2- 2 1/2 cup oil to fry with

Instructions

Make sure that the fish is nice and clean before anything else, then set it to the side.

In a large bowl add the self-rising flour, cornmeal, and cajun seasoning. Mix well.

In a separate bowl beat the two eggs, then add in the hot sauce, and mix.

Next, add the fish into the bowl with the hot sauce & egg mixture.

Make sure that the fish is nicely coated with the wet mixture, then coat with the flour mixture.

Once all of the fish is coated, let it sit for about 5 minutes so that the cornmeal & flour mixture can stick well.

Heat the oil between 350 – 375 F.

Once the oil is nice and hot, carefully add the fish into the skillet or deep fryer, but do not overcrowd.

Fry the fish until golden brown, then remove from the oil, and set on a paper towel-lined plate or cookie sheet.

Enter the world of Baked Caesar Chicken – a timeless favorite that never ceases to enchant. This isn’t just a meal for me; it’s a vessel of cherished memories, reminiscent of times when my family would come together, embracing moments of joy, shared stories, and undeniably scrumptious food. Each morsel teleports me to those heartwarming moments, when the world felt perfect.

As it bakes, the kitchen is filled with an aroma so captivating, it beckons everyone, evoking a collective sense of excitement. Your first encounter is a flavor explosion – the creamy Caesar dressing offering a tantalizing tang, harmoniously complementing the savory depth of the chicken.

In its essence, this dish captures the beauty of both worlds – a comforting embrace for those regular evenings and a show-stopper for special occasions. Dive in, savor, and let every bite take you on a beautiful journey.

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Caesar dressing
1.5 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning: Salt and pepper, as per your preference
Optional for extra creaminess: 1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

Begin by warming your oven to 375°F (190°C) and brush your chosen baking dish with a light coating of oil or non-stick spray.
To ensure an even cook and tender bite, use a meat pounder to gently flatten the chicken breasts to about 1-inch thickness. In a bowl, whisk together the Caesar dressing with sour cream (if you’re including it).
Delicately season each chicken breast. Top each piece with 1/4 cup of the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and nestle them into the baking dish.
Lavishly coat the chicken with the sauce. Scatter the leftover Parmesan cheese for a golden crust.
Transfer to the oven, letting it bake for about 25-30 minutes. Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has a golden hue, it’s ready.
