Chicken Fried Chicken, Gravy and Bisuits

Ok so here goes for the first post.
Tonight I made CFC with Gravy and Biscuits, I'll give you the recipes and let you know what I think of them. Hopefully you can try them and give us all a little input, or thoughts on how it might be better.

CFC...I got this from All Recipes

6 boneless chicken breasts (I pounded them out a little for more even cooking)

1 egg
....Beat to use as a dredge

30 Saltine Crackers
2 TBSP AP Flour
2 TBSP Dry Potato Flakes
1 tsp Seasoned Salt
1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic Salt (that was my addition...everything's better with Garlic Salt)
....Put together in a plastic bag or bowl and crush until crackers are course crumbs

1/4 C. Veg Oil
....For frying (you may need to add a little more)

....One by one, dredge the chicken in egg, then place in the bag with the crumb mixture, seal bag and shake and coat. (I did this about 45 min early and let them sit covered in the fridge. The crumb coat seemed to stay on much better)

After heating oil reduce to medium and cook the chicken in a skillet for 15-20 min, turning frequently, until golden brown and juices run clear.

I actually really liked this recipe.....Easy to make and you probably have all the ingredients already. Good flavor, and nice crunch from the crumb coating.


Gravy

There was very little oil left in the skillet about 2 TBSP. So I took a little flour and added it to the left over crumb mixture, then added it slowly to the oil. Once it was somewhat smooth (it will be a little chunky from the crackers) I took 3/4 cup water and 3/4 cup milk mixed together, again added it slowly. Then I let it come to a boil and thicken, stirring constantly. 5 mins later Gravy.

This was ok a little chunky and could use a little bit more seasoning

Biscuits I got this off the back of the Bisquick box

2 1/4 Cups of Bisquick
2/3 cup of milk (I did 1/2 buttermilk 1/2 milk)

....Heat the oven to 450*F
Stir the ingredient together then place on the counter with a little Bisquick mix and knead together about 10 times
Roll the dough out to 1/2 inch and cut out about 9 biscuits
Bake for about 8-10 min.

This was ok also but not bad for something out of the box and was really fast to make
needs a little bit more seasoning maybe salt.

We also added a can or corn with Garlic Salt

All together this took about an hour plus the 45 min just to let the chicken sit.



Let me know how you guys like the recipes written out...Like the chicken or the gravy recipe
