Baked Barbecued Chicken Nothing beats the taste of chicken barbecued on a grill, but sometimes the weather doesn’t cooperate. This recipe provides a tasty rainy-day alternative, and homemade barbecue sauce will make it taste even better. S e r v e s 4 to 6

1¹⁄2 cups barbecue sauce (page 254) 3 to 4 pounds chicken parts

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. 2. Cut the chicken legs to separate the thighs and drumsticks. Brush the chicken with about twothirds of the sauce, brushing both sides of each piece. Arrange the chicken in a shallow roasting pan or baking dish, skin side down. Bake for 20 minutes. 3. Turn the chicken, skin side up. Brush with the remaining sauce. Bake for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the chicken is tender and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. 4. To crisp and color the skin, run the chicken under the broiler for about 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Chicken and Dumplings Dumplings are very common throughout Europe and undoubtedly came to America with the earliest colonists. The dough is steamed rather than baked. Dumplings are an inexpensive way to extend a soup or stew.

2 tablespoons butter, softened 1 large egg, beaten ¹⁄2 cup milk

1. To make the chicken, cover the chicken with the water in a large pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 1¹⁄² to 2 hours, until the chicken is completely cooked. 2. Strain and save the broth and let the chicken cool. 3. Remove the chicken meat from the bones. Discard the skin and bones, and cut the meat into bite-size pieces. Set aside. Skim the chicken fat off the surface of the broth and discard. 4. To make the dumplings, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a fork until well blended. Mix the egg and milk together in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture and knead for a few seconds, until just mixed. If the dough is sticky, add more flour. 5. Heat the broth to a simmer in the large pot. Add the carrots, celery, onion, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook for 5 minutes. With a large spoon, pull the dumpling dough apart into roughshaped balls the size of a walnut (do not press to form). Carefully drop the dumplings into the broth. Cover and reduce the heat so the broth is barely simmering. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, until the dumplings are cooked through. Overcooking will turn the dumplings to mush. 6. Place the cooked chicken in a large bowl and ladle the hot broth, vegetables, and dumplings over the top. Serve immediately.

Smothered Southern Chicken Many recipes start with fried chicken that is baked in a creamed (flour-thickened) gravy. These recipes were developed to tenderize tough old stewing hens that had lived past the age of productive egg laying. Mashed potatoes and biscuits are both traditional accompaniments. S e r v e s 4 to 6

3 to 4 pounds chicken parts ¹⁄2 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

¹⁄4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste ¹⁄4 cup (¹⁄2 stick) butter ¹⁄4 cup shortening 4 cups chicken broth (page 119) 1 bay leaf

1. Cut the chicken legs to separate the thighs and drumsticks. Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Remove as much fat as possible. 2. Combine the ¹⁄² cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¹⁄4 teaspoon pepper in a paper or plastic bag. Add the chicken, a piece at a time, and shake to coat with the flour. Set aside the coated pieces on a large plate. 3. Melt the butter and shortening in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use tongs to add a single layer of chicken pieces; do not crowd. Cook until browned all over, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a shallow roasting pan or baking dish. Repeat until all the pieces are browned. 4. Preheat the oven to 350°F. 5. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of fat from the skillet. Stir in 3 tablespoons flour to make a paste. Continue to cook, stirring, until the paste is browned and thickened, about 5 minutes. Slowly add in the broth, stirring until smooth and thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 6. Pour the sauce over the chicken pieces, tuck a bay leaf into the pan, cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil, and bake for 1 hour. 7. Remove the bay leaf and serve hot.

Chicken Fricassee The name “chicken fricassee” can be applied to any stewed chicken dish. Some recipes call for browning the chicken first, while some skip that step. Some call for mushrooms, others for an assortment of vegetables. A Cuban-style or Caribbeanstyle chicken fricassee may have raisins, brown sugar, and vinegar in the gravy. This basic version is widely made. S e r v e s 4 to 6

3 to 4 pounds chicken parts ¹⁄2 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste ¹⁄4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste

¹⁄4 cup (¹⁄2 stick) butter ¹⁄4 cup shortening or oil 2 medium carrots, diced 2 medium celery ribs, diced 1 medium onion, diced 1 cup sliced mushrooms 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon fresh thyme 2¹⁄2 cups chicken broth (page 119) 1 cup heavy cream 2 teaspoons lemon juice 1 bay leaf

1. Cut the chicken legs to separate the thighs and drumsticks. Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Remove as much fat as possible. 2. Combine the ¹⁄² cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¹⁄4 teaspoon pepper in a paper or plastic bag. Add the chicken, a piece at a time, and shake to coat with the flour.

Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of fat from the skillet and place over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion, and mushrooms and sauté until the mushrooms give up their juice, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 more minute. 6. Sprinkle in the 3 tablespoons flour and stir until the flour is completely moistened. Slowly add the broth, stirring until smooth and thick. Stir in the cream and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 7. Pour the sauce over the chicken pieces, tuck the bay leaf into the pan, cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil, and bake for 1 hour. 8. Remove the bay leaf and serve hot.
