Method

Chicken Fried

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Start by tenderizing the chicken breasts with a meat mallet to about 1/2 inch thickness.

  2. 2

    Batter the Chicken

    Dip each chicken breast in buttermilk, then dredge in all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and black pepper until well coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the battered chicken breasts. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Black Pepper Cream Gravy

  1. 4

    Make Roux

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until golden.

  2. 5

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to stir until the gravy thickens.

  3. 6

    Season the Gravy

    Stir in black pepper and salt, adjusting to taste. Keep warm on low heat until ready to serve.

Hash Brown Tumblers

  1. 7

    Cook Hash Browns

    In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add frozen hash browns and season with salt. Cook until crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 8

    Serve Hash Browns

    Once cooked, remove from skillet and set aside to drain on paper towels.

Eggs

  1. 9

    Cook Eggs

    Prepare the eggs your way—scrambled, fried, or poached. Season with salt and pepper.
