Deep Fried Saffron Parmesan Sticks Recipes

DEEP-FRIED SNICKERS ON A STICK

Steps:

• Push each candy bar onto a skewer or popsicle stick; refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Whisk the flour and baking soda in a medium bowl. Whisk in the seltzer to make a smooth batter (about the consistency of pancake batter). Heat 4 to 6 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot until a deep-fry thermometer registers 330 degrees.
• Hold the Snickers by the skewer and dip into the batter, turning to coat. Carefully place the Snickers in the hot oil (skewers and all); fry, turning as needed, until crisp, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Use tongs to remove each bar by the stick; drain on paper towels or a rack and serve warm.

CHICKEN PARMESAN STICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
• Add the flour to a pie plate or dish and season with salt and pepper. Beat the eggs in a second pie plate. Mix together the panko, Parmesan, parsley and red pepper flakes in a third pie plate.
• Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally. Slice each half into 2 long strips (for 4 strips per breast). Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Skewer each piece of chicken and then dredge each through the flour, then the egg and finally the panko. Place on the prepared baking sheet and brush the chicken sticks lightly with the melted butter.
• Bake until golden brown and fully cooked, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with warm Fresh Tomato Sauce.
• Combine the olive oil, red pepper flakes and garlic in a saucepan. Saute over medium-high heat until the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add in the tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste, bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Tear the basil leaves and stir them into the sauce.

DEEP-FRIED PARMESAN ASPARAGUS FRIES

Steps:

• Mix together flour, paprika, garlic powder, baking powder, and salt in one bowl, eggs and buttermilk in another, and bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a third.
• Coat each asparagus stalk in the flour blend, dunk into the egg mixture, then roll in the bread crumbs. Transfer to the refrigerator and let them rest for 30 minutes; this will help the breading stick during frying.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Fry asparagus in the hot oil, working in batches as needed, until breading is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Serve hot.
