Chicken and Corn Bread

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Sous Vide Chicken

Prepare the chicken by seasoning it with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Place the chicken halves in a sous vide bag and seal it. Preheat the sous vide water bath to 150°F (65°C). Cook the chicken in the water bath for 2 hours.

2

Corn Bread

In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, honey, and melted butter. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

3

Frying the Chicken

Once the chicken is cooked sous vide, remove it from the bag and pat it dry with paper towels. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken halves for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Serving

Serve the fried chicken hot alongside slices of cornbread.
