I made one of Grannie's recipes tonight and thought it was a great topic for the recipes forum. Sort of a "comfort food" thing. Feel free to add your Grannie's recipes. I'll start with:
Golden Sesame Chicken
4 halves frying chicken
1/4 cup flour
1-1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
1-1/2 tsp paprika
3 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp oil
3 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 cup white chablis wine
1/2 tsp ground ginger
Dredge chicken in flour mixed with seasonings. Melt butter with oil in a 9X13" baking dish. Dip chicken on both sides in melted fat. Turn skin side down in pan, sprinkle with half of sesame seeds. Bake in 400 degree oven for 30 minutes. Turn chicken. Sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds and add 3/4 cup of wine to the pan.
Continue baking for 35-45 minutes longer, until chicken is tender. Remove chicken to hot serving platter. Add remaining 1/4 cup wine to pan. Bring to a boil and pour over chicken. Serve with rice pilaf and tossed green salad.
