ASIAN BEER CAN CHICKEN WITH WOK-FRIED BACON BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND HORSERADISH MASHED POTATOES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Pour half the contents of each beer can into a shallow roasting pan, then set the cans upright in the pan.
- In a medium bowl, toss the butter with the Three's BBQ Dry Rub and set aside. Rinse the chickens and pat dry. Generously rub chickens inside and out with the seasoned butter, being sure to stuff some butter under the skin as well. Put one lemon quarter in each cavity and then slide the chickens over the beer cans. Add the orange peels to the pan. Roast for 1 hour.
- Pull the pan from the oven and generously ladle the Orange-Hoisin Glaze over the chickens. Return to the oven and cook until the glaze has caramelized and turned a dark golden amber, about 25 minutes. When done, the internal temperature of the thigh meat should register 160 degrees F. Let the chickens rest, lightly tented with foil, for about 15 minutes. Carefully cut out the back bone of each chicken and cut the breast down the center.
- Serve a half-chicken per person, with Wok-Fried Bacon Brussels Sprouts and Horseradish Mashed Potatoes on the side. Strain the pan drippings and ladle over the chicken prior to serving.
- In a bowl, mix together the chili powder, brown sugar, celery salt, cinnamon, coriander, five-spice powder, oregano, garlic, chile flakes, curry powder, nutmeg, 4 tablespoons kosher salt and 2 tablespoons black pepper. Store in a sealed container.
- In a medium saucepot over medium-high heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Add the orange juice, hoisin, garlic, onions, orange rind and juice, lemon rind and juice, lime rind and juice, lemongrass, jalapeno and ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
- In a deep saucepot, heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Fry the brussels sprouts until the edges start to turn golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove with a spider and drain on paper towels.
- In a medium wok or saute pan over medium-high heat, add the bacon fat and bacon. Then add the ginger, garlic, carrots and fried brussels sprouts; stir-fry for about 3 minutes. Add the balsamic and kimchee and cook, tossing, until everything is evenly glazed. Turn off the heat and add the basil. Divide into 4 portions and garnish with Parmesan.
- Fill a large pot with 1 gallon of water. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rolling simmer (medium-low heat) and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the whipping cream, garlic, rosemary and thyme and in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the cream is infused, about 10 minutes. Strain and keep warm.
- Drain the potatoes when they are done and return them to the pot over low heat. Using a potato masher, mash in the infused cream, creme fraiche, butter, horseradish, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper until just combined.

Steps:
- Prepare the chicken: Put the buttermilk in a large bowl and set it next to your cutting board; as you cut pieces off the chicken, add them to the buttermilk. With a sharp knife, remove and discard the wing tips (or reserve for stock). Cut the wings from the chicken. Cut the thigh and leg away from the body; split this section into three pieces by separating the drumstick and then cutting the thigh in half. Repeat with other thigh and leg. With kitchen shears, snip off the rear and the back bone. Push down on the bird to break the breastbone; cut the breasts into 4 pieces.
- Season the buttermilk and chicken mixture with a healthy pinch of salt, the paprika, and the Tabasco. Stir to combine and coat the chicken. (The chicken can be cooked right away or marinated overnight.) Fill the oil to ¾-inch (2cm) deep in a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
- For the mashed potatoes: Peel the potatoes, cut into large chunks, and add to a large pot of simmering salted water. Cook at a low simmer until tender, 35-45 minutes. (Do not boil.)
- Combine the cornmeal, flour, ½ tablespoon (9g) salt and a generous amount of black pepper in a strong paper bag. Remove the chicken pieces from the buttermilk marinade (reserving the marinade) and transfer them to the paper bag. Shake the bag to coat the chicken thoroughly.
- Whisk the eggs into the remaining marinade; return the floured chicken pieces to the marinade and stir to coat again. In batches, transfer the chicken pieces back to the paper bag and shake to coat with the flour mixture again.
- Starting with the biggest pieces, place the chicken in the hot oil and fry until cooked through and golden-brown, 18-20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. (Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to fry in batches.) Adjust the temperature to make sure the heat is constant. Transfer cooked chicken pieces to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt. Serve the chicken hot or at room temperature. (To reheat cold chicken: Place on a tray and into an oven at 300 degrees F for about 20 minutes, to crisp up the skin.)
- Drain the potatoes, reserving 1 cup (240ml) of the cooking liquid in the pot. Place the potatoes back in the pot and add the cream and butter; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and mash with an old-fashioned potato masher to desired texture.
- Mound the mashed potatoes on a rimmed platter and serve with the fried chicken.

Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a saucepan of cold salted water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until just tender. Drain the potatoes and return to the saucepan. Place the pan over low heat and let the potatoes dry for 2 to 3 minutes, shaking constantly. Add the butter and mash with a potato masher until fairly smooth. Stir in enough milk to reach a creamy consistency, season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook until heated through. While the potatoes are boiling, pat the steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Sift the flour onto a plate and dredge the steaks in flour. Using the flat side of meat cleaver or rolling pin, pound out the steaks until they are about 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick. Dredge again in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the steaks into the beaten eggs, and then again in flour, making sure all of the beef is well covered with flour. Pour enough oil into a large skillet to come about 1/4 inch up the sides and set over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully add the steaks with tongs and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the steaks and keep warm. To prepare the gravy, pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the oil and remove any burnt drippings from the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium, and add the flour, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 or 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the flour is light golden. Slowly whisk in the milk, about 1/2 cup at a time. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the gravy is thick and creamy, stirring constantly, about 7 or 8 minutes. Season again with salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve the gravy over the chicken-fried steaks and mashed potatoes.
SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN WITH BUTTERED MASHED POTATOES AND SAUTEED PEAS AND TOMATOES
Steps:
- Rub the chicken pieces on both sides with the poultry seasoning. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and the milk together. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, salt and pepper. Dip the chicken in the egg and milk mixture, and then dredge the chicken in the flour mixture.
- Heat enough oil to generously cover the bottom of a large, deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the battered chicken until all sides are golden brown and the meat is cooked through.
- Serve with Buttered Mashed Potatoes and Sauteed Peas and Tomatoes.
- In a large pot, add the potatoes and pour just enough water to fully cover the potatoes. Heat the water over high heat, until the water comes to a rolling boil. Boil the potatoes in water until they are tender and then drain. Place the potatoes back on the heat and stir until the steam dissipates. Add butter, salt and pepper to the pot and then mash together until they reach the desired consistency.
- In a large pan, saute the peas in butter over medium heat until they are tender or for approximately 7 minutes. Add diced tomatoes to the skillet and continue to saute until all of the flavors combine.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, free-range chicken and Yukon Gold potatoes will give you the best results.
- Marinate the chicken overnight: This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Season the chicken and potatoes well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Use a cast iron skillet: This will help to give the chicken a crispy skin and the potatoes a fluffy interior.
- Cook the chicken and potatoes over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from burning and the potatoes from becoming too mushy.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you do, the chicken and potatoes will not cook evenly.
- Serve the chicken and potatoes immediately: This is when they will be at their best.
Conclusion:
This fried chicken and mashed potatoes recipe is a classic for a reason. It's easy to make, delicious, and perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it for a family dinner or a special event, this recipe is sure to be a hit.
