How can I cook this chicken?

Question

My husband bought chicken thighs and drumsticks...I usually don't cook chicken containing bones, so I really don't know how to cook it...

Any suggestions will be helpful...Thank you.

Answer 1

You can make a nice casserole with pasta or rice,meal in a pan,or you can BBQ them and they are delicious.

If you decide to BBQ them,remove all visible fat and marinate them,place them in a big bawl ,add little oil,lemon juice,salt pepper,minced garlic and a little prepared mustard,mix very well and refrigerate for a few hours for all the flavors to blend.

BBQ on med.heat until clear juices flow.

To serve make a dressing with the same elements as the marinade.

A nice rice and a Greek salad with Greek feta cheese and you will have an amazing meal

Answer 2

Dip chicken pieces in melted butter then roll in seasoned breadcrumbs mixed with parmesan cheese & seasoning salt. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour. Or you could barbecue chicken pieces on grill with barbecue sauce.

Answer 3

The bones actually make the chicken more flavorful; and dark meat is more moist than white meat.   You can do a dry rub (paprika, garlic powder, salt & pepper, a little chili powder & cumin) and BBQ them.  If you want, you can put some BBQ sauce on them the last minute or so, before they're done......

Answer 4

Why not some good old-fashioned Southern Fried Chicken?

There are two basic ways and thousands of variations.  You can batter and fry the chicken, or you can simply roll the chicken in flour and fry.

To batter and Fry, beat one egg and add a half cup of milk.

Roll chicken in the mild and egg mixture, allow excess to drip off, then dredge the chicken in seasoned flour.  (I like to season my flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder and a bit of Emeril's Essence).

In a large skillet with a tight lid, heat cooking oil or vegetable shortening over high heat.

Add your battered chicken to the hot oil, and cover.  Let cook for 3 minutes and turn.  Cook the otherside for 3 minutes covered.  Then remove the lid and reduce heat to medium-high.  Cook until the juices run clear or the chicken pieces reach an internal temperature of 165*

Or, you can omit the battering, just dredge in seasoned flour and fry.  This is what I do 75% of the time when I fry chicken.

Answer 6

Make Chicken Cacciatore. You can get some great recipes on the Food Network website. I recommend those from Giada de Laurentiis or Keith Young.

Answer 7

dip in ranch dressing, roll in potato flakes, grease oven pan and oven fry on 400 until golden

Answer 8

You can coat it with Shake'n'Bake & bake at 425F for 45 minutes.

Or you can brush with Italian style dressing & roast them.

Or you can brown the skin & put in a slow-cooker with veggies.

I don't know why you think the bones are going to matter.
