Chef Prudhomme’s Pan Fried Chicken and fettucine

out of control yumminess

Makes 6 servings
   
4 quarts hot water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon salt
1 pound dry fettuccine
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Vegetable Magic� (I used Poultry magic since I made this with chicken)
1 cup, plus 4 teaspoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 3/4 cups very fine dry bread crumbs
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 eggs
6 (3 1/2 – 4 ounce) slices of baby white veal or chicken, pounded thin
Vegetable oil, for pan frying
    
Place the water, oil and salt in a large pot over high heat, cover and bring to a rolling boil.  Add fettuccine and cook to al dente or however you like it. Drain in colander and rinse with hot water to get excess starch off.  After the pasta has cooled thoroughly, about 2 to 3 minutes, pour about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in your hands and gently rub the fettuccine until it’s well coated with oil.  Set aside still in the colander. 

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.  Add the cream and 1 teaspoon of the Pork and Veal Magic (or other Magic Seasoning Blend), and turn the heat to medium-high.  Whisk the mixture constantly as it comes to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, still whisking constantly, until the sauce has reduced some and thickened enough to coat a spoon well, about 7 to 8 minutes.  Remove from the heat, gradually add ¾ cup of the Parmesan, whisking until the cheese melts, and set aside. 

Combine the bread crumbs, parsley, olive oil and remaining Pork and Veal Magic (or other Magic Seasoning Blend) in a shallow baking pan.  Beat the eggs in a separate shallow pan, then beat in the remaining 4 teaspoons Parmesan.  Soak the veal in the egg mixture for at least 5 minutes, being sure to coat it thoroughly.  Meanwhile, heat ¼ inch oil to about 400º in a large skillet.  Then, just before frying, dredge the veal in the seasoned bread crumbs, coating well and pressing the crumbs in with your hands.  Shake off any excess.  Fry the veal in the hot oil until golden brown, about 1 minute per side.  Do not crowd.  If any of the crumbs in the bottom start to burn, change the oil immediately.  Remove the veal to a large platter and set aside. 

Reheat the cheese sauce over medium-high heat, whisking frequently.  If the butter starts to separate, whisk in 1 tablespoon of cream or water.  Add the fettucini and toss until thoroughly coated and heated through, about 1 minute.  Remove from the heat and serve immediately.  To serve, place a piece of veal on each heated serving plate.  Roll each portion of fettuccine onto a large fork and slide onto the plate.  Top with additional sauce from the skillet.

Beer can chicken

There’s nothing too tough about this recipe.  You can get as basic or as creative as you want and in the end you’ll have the most moist and tender chicken you have EVER cooked in your life! I highly highly suggest using the Chef Prudhomme’s poultry magic.  Even though it is a small 2oz. container it is one of the best seasonings in my spice cupboard.  I use it for my homemade Thanksgiving stuffing, my rice pilaf and much more.  For my chickens I use the Bayou Classic Chic Can cooking rack.  It’s only ($6.99) at Bed Bath and Beyond and it is well worth it.  I’ll be going this week to get another in case we want to cook for more than just our family of four.

Ingredients

1-  3 to 4 lb frying chicken

1- can of your favorite beer

2 tablespoons worchestershire sauce

2 tsp fresh minced garlic

Lawry’s seasoned salt

Lawry’s garlic salt

Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Poultry Magic

Fresh ground black pepper

Open beer and pour half of contents out.  Put worchestershire sauce and minced garlic inside can with remaining beer. Place can inside the rack and place inside a pie tin or 8in square grill-safe pan.  Clean chicken and  season with above listed seasonings tucking  wings in.  Place chicken over top of the beer can.  Close off the open chicken neck with either a potato or onion. Pour about 1/4 cup of water into bottom of pan, I replaced this water as it evaporated out until chicken drippings began to form.  Cook with indirect heat over your grill.  Meaning, either have the right or left burner on medium and place the chicken on the other side.  Cook for two hours, rotating the pan ever so often to allow the skin to crisp evenly. Once the wings get to desired crispiness you may cover with tin foil to prevent burning…today mine were a little extra tasty crispy if you know what i’m sayin! ;)
