Food Finally!

So, I finally broke down and made some recipes that I had floating around. Some of it turned out really yummy, some of it, well - not so much. Still not really done completely. I plan on making some muffins later. But at the moment, here was dinner!


The chicken - it was incredibly yummy. I don't remember where I found the recipe, I have it written down in a notebook, so I don't know who to give credit to. And it was really easy to prepare (not to mention cheap). Most of the items people might already have in their pantry.

Parmesan Potato Oven Fried Chicken
  •  Instant potato flakes for 4 servings
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 3 lbs chicken drumsticks or thighs
  • 1/4 cup of butter
  1. About 1 1/4 hours before serving - preheat oven to 400 degrees. 
  2. In a shallow dish mix instant potato with cheese, seasoned salt, and pepper
  3. In another shallow dish mix egg, and 1/4 cup of water, beat until mixed.
  4. With tongs (I found it easier to use my hands) roll chicken first in egg mix, then coat with flake mix. Set on wire rack to dry for 10 or 15 minutes.
  5. melt butter - coat pan
  6. Arrange chicken in pan, turning pieces to coat in butter. (I forgot to coat the pieces, and it still turned out fine, just didn't crisp as much as it should have)
  7. Bake chicken 40 to 50 minutes until fork tender
It should serve 8.

The potato, I wouldn't make again, so unless I get asked to post the recipe, I wont be. That is just how I roll. The greenbeans, those I just tossed in the microwave with some butter, I didn't do anything special to them but add a little bit of garlic to give it a hint of flavor.
