Deep Fried Mushroom Black Olive Chicken Recipes

CHICKEN FRIED MUSHROOM PO'BOY

Steps:

• For the remoulade sauce: Whisk together the mayonnaise, pickles, mustard, ketchup, hot sauce, onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a small bowl until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the po'boys: Trim the mushrooms into bite-size pieces (roughly 2 inches; any smaller will make the breading process more tedious). Maitake and oyster mushrooms can be sliced/torn lengthwise, while shiitake and cremini mushrooms are best quartered.
• Pour the buttermilk and hot sauce into a shallow baking dish and whisk to combine. Add the mushrooms, then toss until evenly coated. Marinate at room temperature until well-seasoned, about 10 minutes.
• Whisk together the flour, smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the buttermilk marinade to make shaggy clumps.
• Heat 2 inches of vegetable or canola oil in a large pot over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels for draining.
• Dip the mushrooms first in the flour mixture, turning to coat, then back in the marinade. Then dip again in the flour to coat with the clumpy bits; transfer to a plate. Working in batches, fry the mushrooms, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the mushrooms to the lined baking sheet and season with a pinch of salt.
• Lay the sliced tomato on the bottoms of the sub rolls, then top with the mushrooms. Drizzle the remoulade sauce over the mushrooms, top with shredded lettuce, sandwich together and serve.

DEEP FRIED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and garlic salt. Mix in egg and water until smooth.
• Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Test to see if oil is hot by frying a drop of batter. If it sizzles and floats to the top, the oil is ready.
• Dip mushrooms into the batter and then place in the hot oil. Fry a few at a time so they are not crowded, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, the honey, mustard, red-pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt; whisk until smooth. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper, then add to the mixture, coating it well. Set aside at room temperature, stirring it once while you make the onions.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high until very hot, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then add the onions in an even layer. Season with salt, then cook, mostly undisturbed, for 4 minutes more, stirring every minute or so. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and stir to combine. (It will look crowded, and that's OK.) Allow to cook mostly undisturbed until the mushrooms shrink and start to brown, about 4 minutes, stirring every minute or so.
• Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and allow the onions to cook until they start to color, stirring and lowering the heat as necessary to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Push the onions and mushrooms to the edges of the skillet, then add the chicken pieces to the center. Pour any remaining marinade (there will be very little) over the onions and mushrooms. Cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes, then combine the chicken and vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes more. (Reduce the heat to medium if the onions look like they are burning at any point.)
• Add the remaining 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, stirring and scraping up anything on the bottom of the skillet. Season to taste with salt.
• Remove from the heat and top with the parsley and cheese, if using. Serve with bread or pasta.

SOUTHERN STYLE DEEP-FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a medium container place chicken and cover with milk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to overnight. This helps tenderize the meat, but is optional
• In a large saucepan over a medium-high heat, transfer chicken into pot, then pour in the milk. Bring milk to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the milk, and place on a rack to cool. Allow them to sit until warm about 15 minutes, and then pat dry.
• Heat vegetable shortening in a Dutch oven or skillet over high heat just until it's near the smoking point around 325 degrees F.
• In a large zip-lock bag, add salt, flour, cayenne pepper, shake to combine.
• In a medium bowl, beat 1 egg.
• Place each piece of chicken, 1 at a time, in the bag and shake to coat the chicken. Then dip chicken into the egg to coat. Place the chicken back into the flour to coat for a second time. Repeat this method on remaining 3 pieces of chicken.
• Gently drop each piece of chicken into hot oil, allowing the skin to crisp and turn golden brown in color, about 1 minute per side. Remove from the oil and transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
• Serve immediately.
