Perking Up Take-out Fried Chicken |
|
|
Have you ever bought take-out fried chicken and discovered that it was dry? I encounter this occasionally especially with grocery fried chicken. The upside, is that after a certain hour, they sell it at a reduced price.
To perk it up, put it in a microwave safe container, sprinkle a little whole milk on it, cover, shake, and zap. The milk will soften the skin and the moisture will revitalize the chicken.
Another trick is to make a nice wine sauce (I use Marsala wine, chicken boullion, garlic, butter and cream) and simmer the chicken gently in the sauce for a few minutes.
You can add blanched onions, cooked vegetables, serve over rice or mashed potatoes, and it's like a homemade meal : )

It sounds like a great idea, but how do you keep the coating crisp?

This is a great idea, and I will try it sometime. I have another hint to share. Put the chicken in a crock pot and pour bbq sauce over it. Cook it on high for a couple of hours and you will have bbq chicken like you get at the restaraunts. My uncle used to work at KFC when he was in college, and he told me that this is how they used to make their bbq chicken. It is truly easy, wonderful tasting, and it is impressive to serve to guests.
