Freezer Meals Recipes - Whiskey Barbeque Chicken Drummies

INGREDIENTS
12 lbs of chicken drummies

2 generic bottles of Kansas City Barbeque Sauce

2 sticks of unsalted butter

1 cup of McCormick’s Whiskey

1 cup of Brown Sugar

4 table spoons of Hot Curry Powder

4 table spoons of Ground Turmeric

2 fresh garlic cloves

Sriracha Hot Sauce, Salt, and Pepper to taste

Mesquite Wood Chips soaked in water for 1-3 hours

Instructions

Chicken is one of my favorite Freezer Meals Recipes. It is easy to cook, cheap to buy in bulk, and great as leftovers. Remove the chicken drummies from the refrigerator to bring them close to room temperature before grilling. Keep them covered. Start your charcoal so the grill will be ready when the sauce is prepared. In a sauce pan melt 2 sticks of butter on low heat. Add garlic cloves, hot curry powder, turmeric, salt and pepper to taste. The aroma of garlic and curry should begin to permeate the air, releasing their flavors. Add the 2 bottles of sauce, whiskey, brown sugar, and Sriracha hot sauce to taste. Raise the heat to medium. Stir the Whiskey Barbeque Sauce frequently as it begins to bubble. After a few minutes the ingredients should thicken to create a consistent sauce. Generously sauce the chicken prior to throwing them on the grill.

By this point in time the grill should be ready for barbeque. Throw a handful of the soaking woodchips on the grill to encourage smoke. I prefer to grill at a medium temperature, probably around 250-300 degrees. Between the wet wood chips and the grill cap, flames should be limited. You want the chicken to have time to soak in some of the smoke flavor, so don’t cook them to fast. The slower you cook it, the more tender it will be. Add the Barbeque Chicken to the grill. Sauce the chicken every 15-30 minutes. You want the inside of the chicken to reach over 170 degrees. Eat what you can and save the rest for your freezer.

KFC Popcorn Chicken Recipe

INGREDIENTS
1 egg
1 cup white flour
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
2 small boneless chicken breasts
3/4 cups vegetable oil (or any other frying oil)
2 paper towels

Instructions


Mix flour and Cajun seasoning in small mixing bowl.

In separate bowl, beat egg.

Cut chicken breasts in small pieces ranging anywhere from about a 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inch in size, depending on how crispy you want (smaller=crispier).

Pour oil into a small skillet and place on a medium heat.

Dip pieces of chicken into egg, being sure they are fully covered.

Drop the chicken, piece by piece into the flour mixture, fully coating the chicken.

Test to be sure that the oil is ready by dropping a little glob of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and fries, it's ready! Now, slide the chicken into the skillet, easily and slowly to be sure the oil doesn't splatter all over you. Do this as quickly as possible. After about 3-4 minutes, flip the pieces over (pieces should be colored a light golden brown).

When chicken is finished, scoop it out draining as much oil as possible into the pan for more chicken and place it on a plate with the two paper towels lining the bottom.

This will catch and drain the excess oil so your chicken is super crunchy.

My best serving suggestion is buttermilk biscuits, mashed potatoes, and gravy.
