Simple Dinner
« Reply #-1 on: February 04, 2015, 09:05:02 AM »
Not sure if this is where to post this one because it has some chicken and beef in the menu.

I decided that I must finally break out the deep fat fryer and try the defatted, buttermilk and sriracha soaked chicken skins.  I also planned to take the potatoes that I had peeled for my pan seasoning and slice them up into thin strips for some pomme frits with a SV steak.  I had soaked the potatoes in cold water and changed the water several times.  When it came time to cook the pomme frits, I cooked them at 300 degrees for about 5 minutes and let them drain on paper towel.  When I started to cook the steak in my seasoned Lodge pan, I put the fries back in the oil at 350 degrees.  They crisped up very nicely. 

First things first.  The cook needs a drink.



Here are the chicken skins ready to take the hot oil plunge.



A money shot of the chicken skins.  I didn’t coat them with anything like flour or corn starch.  I might try that with the ones I did not cook.



My plate.



Good food.  My wife loved the chicken skins as well as the main meal.

If that's a "simple" dinner I'd love to see your more complex one  ::)

Great utilization of the groceries!

I love fried chicken skins.  YUM!

It looks like that double frying technique really works well for fries. Next time I do fries, I need to try it.
