Method

Fried Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare for Frying

    In a large bowl, mix the flour, black pepper, and additional salt. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess buttermilk drip off, then dredge each piece in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.

Biscuits

  1. 6

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

  2. 7

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 8

    Cut in the Butter

    Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 9

    Add Milk

    Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 10

    Shape and Bake

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat it down to about 1-inch thick, and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden.

Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

  1. 11

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the peeled and cubed potatoes and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.

  2. 12

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

  3. 13

    Prepare Gravy

    In a saucepan, combine chicken broth with flour over medium heat, whisking until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 14

    Serve Together

    Serve the mashed potatoes topped with the gravy.

Braised Greens

  1. 15

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 16

    Add Greens

    Add the chopped collard greens to the skillet, stirring to combine with the garlic.

  3. 17

    Add Broth and Season

    Pour in the chicken broth, adding salt and black pepper. Cover and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until greens are tender.

  4. 18

    Serve

    Serve the braised greens warm as a side dish.
