Copycat Tex's Chicken v3


Looks like Justin's threat of making a Tex's chicken copy wasn't an idle one. He's up to version 3 now, with more on the way, since it's not even close to perfect, heh. So, here's his latest attempt.

What you need:
Chicken thighs

Coating:
4 heaped tablespoons of flour
1/2 tablespoon bicarbonate of soda
1 tablespoon white pepper
1/2 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1/2 tablespoon nutmeg
1/2 tablespoon sage
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chicken stock
1/4 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon onion powder

What you do:
  1. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl (or a resealable plastic bag).
  2. Dip the chicken pieces in the milk and toss in the bowl to coat with the flour mixture (or add into bag and shake around until properly coated).
  3. Bake in a 180 C oven for about 40 minutes or until cooked through.
Its exactly the same as version 2, except that he reduced the amount of flour, increased the chicken stock AND added onion powder. Yes, we finally managed to locate some, hehe.

So how did it turn out this time??? It was much crispier than version 2, that's for sure. Because of the reduced amount of flour, there was a much bigger proportion of all the rest of in ingredients (compared to the flour). Although this wasn't immediately obvious for most of the ingredients, our first impression was "Whoa! This is a lot of pepper!" White pepper, to be specific. I don't know about the other two, but there was so much pepper that I couldn't really taste the rest of the ingredients, heh. So look forward to a version 4 sometime in the near future :P This Thursday I believe, hehe. See you then~

Quote of the day: When women are depressed, they eat or go shopping. Man invade another country. It's a whole different way of thinking.
