Fried Chicken

I know I said I wasn't going to post, but...I changed my mind. Tonight for supper I made friend chicken. I didn't know how to make this until after I was married, and I think it is Joel's favorite meal. Now that we have a pan that is not warped, I don't mind making it!

I cut the chicken into strips. I prefer breast but Joel likes thighs. I crush up saltine in a Ziploc bag and mix in some flour and salt and pepper. I beat two eggs in a bowl and heat olive oil in a pan. I put in enough olive oil to totally cover the bottom and then usually have to pour in a little more while cooking. I dip the chicken in the flour mix, then the egg, then the flour mix again. It really makes it more crispy. Then into the frying pan it goes! I cook over medium to medium low heat. I heard that cooking it more slowly makes it more tender, and I really think it does! It is really very easy and delicious!



Doesn't it look nice and crispy and perfectly golden?! This was probably the best I have made yet! This new pan makes all the difference. Our old pan used to burn whatever cooked in the middle and the stuff around the edges took forever!



This was my french fry pan for the evening. That demonstrates that we really are getting things packed up!



I had to share this picture of this funny baby. First of all, PTL that she eats her veggies! That other one doesn't eat any vegetables except for pickles and salsa! But do you notice something about her tray? We had mixed vegetables for supper tonight. Apparently, she prefers the peas and lima beans. I don't give her the green beans yet. I noticed this the other night that she ate everything green first. Later tonight I noticed that she next ate all the carrots so her tray only had yellow, and then she ate her corn. I didn't even think they could tell that much of a difference yet, or not enough to know that the green ones are the ones that she likes. I constantly underestimate how smart they are!!

Okay, now this will probably be the last post until sometime next week. Only one more day with internet, and then we are done for a few days! Hope everyone has a great weekend! It is supposed to be 34 degrees for our moving day:)
