Do-Se-Do
is a basic square dance step. It is from the original French term
dos-à-dos, which means "back to back". We used here
because the secret to really crispy fried chicken is doing things
twice, back to back. It has been awhile since tackling this favorite,
so maybe now we can go even further and serve it on waffles!
Yes,
we'll make short-cuts so that even an inexperienced cook can produce
a mouth-watering signature dish of old fashioned southern cooking.
Ingredients:
8
pieces chicken thighs with both skin & bones
Buttermilk
(half a pint)
2
eggs
Flour
mix
1
cup Bisquick
1
Tbs paprika
2
tsp garlic powder
1
tsp salt
1
tsp celery salt
1
tsp mustard powder
1
tsp white sugar
3
tsp white pepper
½
tsp thyme
½
tsp basil
½
tsp oregano
½
tsp black pepper
Frozen
waffles
Syrup
Soak
chicken pieces in a bath of buttermilk for about an hour to 4 hours
max.
Set
up your “stations”:
In
a bowl whip 2 eggs and 1 tbs water
In
another bowl combine the Bisquick mixture:
Mix:
1Tbs salt, 1Tbs paprika, 2 tsp garlic powder, and 2 tsp celery salt
into the cup of Bisquick. Use a fork to combine and break apart.
Add:
½
tsp thyme
½
tsp basil
¼
tsp oregano
1
tsp ginger
3
tsp white pepper
1
tsp mustard powder
Combine
well in wide bowl.
Line
a baking sheet with foil and place a cooking rack on top.
Dip
Chicken pieces in the egg wash then roll in flour mixture: let stand
on rack for 15
minutes! No cheating on this!
Then
repeat into the egg wash and roll in flour mixture:
Again
let sit for another 15
minutes:
This
lets the coating adhere to the chicken!
This
is the first back to back or “Do-Se-Do”
Heat
oil to 340 degrees
you will have plenty of time as the chicken sits!
Make
sure oil is at 340:
Cook
a few pieces at a time and just until a very light golden brown.
About 4 minutes per side. Remove to a rack over a liner.
When
all pieces are fired, raise the oil temperature to 375!
Fry
each piece a second
time until brown and
crispy! Another 4 minutes per side.
If
you're frying your chicken in batches, cover the cooked chicken with
aluminum foil and place it in a warm electric oven (200ºF)
while you finish cooking the rest of your chicken.
This is NOT
recommended for a gas oven, please!
This is the second back to back or Do-se-Do.
Don't
lay on paper towels as it will stick into the coating. Nasty!
Follow
directions on the toaster waffles and keep them warm in the oven too.
Don't be afraid of sugar-free syrup, just as long as it is maple
flavored. In fact why not heat that up in a small sauce pan on the
stove top so that it can be served warm.
Serve
by placing a waffle on each plate and topping with a piece of fried
chicken. Let the guests butter & pour syrup as they like.
Have
some hot coffee and maybe some juice for a meal they will be talking
about for weeks!
For
our music:
