Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the whole chicken and pat dry. Cut the chicken into 8 pieces (2 legs, 2 thighs, 2 wings, and 2 breasts).

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub the mixture all over the chicken pieces.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces in batches and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per side. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

    Rinse and drain the canned kidney beans. Chop the red onion and bell pepper.

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper.

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine kidney beans, chopped onion, bell pepper, and dressing. Toss thoroughly and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Preparation of Cole Slaw

  1. 7

    Shred the Cabbage and Carrot

    Finely shred the green cabbage and grate the carrot.

Preparation of Corn Fritters

    Mix the Batter

    In a bowl, combine corn kernels, flour, egg, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.

  2. 11

    Fry the Fritters

    In a skillet, heat cooking oil over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Preparation of Potato or Mac & Cheese

  1. 12

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Boil the large potatoes until tender, about 20-30 minutes. Peel and mash with butter and milk for mashed potatoes.

  2. 13

    Make the Mac & Cheese
