last week he helped me make this chicken for dinner.
he touched the slimy raw meat and everything.
the chicken was really good. it's another recipe i found here. it's called bisquick chicken. i always like to follow the recipe exactly when making something for the first time. i did that and it was good. everyone in the fam liked it. but i think i will kick it up a notch next time and add some cayenne pepper to the mix.
to make bisquick chicken you will need the following:
add the dry ingredients to a bowl and stir.
coat the chicken pieces in the powder. press down to get even coverage.
add chicken pieces to a hot pan with 3 tablespoons of melted butter (we use this) at the bottom. make sure the chicken pieces don't touch so they crisp up! bake at 425 for 30 minutes. turn chicken and bake another 15 minutes. check your chicken, as baking times will vary due to oven and thickness of chicken.
i find that by including my kids in the preparation and cooking of our meals, i am easily adding some much needed face-time to their days. with four kids it can be hard to find time to do that. so not only are they learning their way around the kitchen and how to prepare healthy, delicious foods, but they get to talk to me about their day, about their friends, video games, books... whatever! plus they feel great about helping AND they are more likely to eat a food that they help prepare. the list of positives goes on and on!
what things do you do to make sure you are getting some face-time with the little ones in your life?

Looks like you were having a good time! : ) Yummy looking chicken... I will have to try it out.
The chicken looks soooooooooo yummy!!! Let's have this for Family Night next Tuesday. I'll contribute and come over to help out. Let me know :)
Ok, I am cooking it right now and yours looks better... um... a lot better. How did you get the coating to stick so well?? Or maybe I should have used more butter (Brumel and Brown). I will tell you how it ends up.
we pressed the meat very firmly into the powder. then i went over each piece and added some more before placing them in the hot pan. it has a very light coating of bisquick. maybe the picture looks like it has more? it did bake up very golden. the butter was drying up and the smoke alarm went off. does that make you feel any better :)
how did it taste? that's all that matters anyway!
Darn! I didn't have a hot pan. I melted the butter separately. That must have been the issue. Well, the chicken did turn out ok, but a lot of the coating stuck to the pan and it was a bit dry for my liking. Mark and I both enjoyed it, though. Thanks for the tips! : )
ours was a bit dry, too. i tend to overcook chicken though... i want to be sure there's no more pink! that's why i said watch your chicken! the original recipe called for 35 minutes of baking and then 15 more. my chicken didn't take that long.
we used our leftovers in homemade flautas. ole!!
