Copycat Mary Brown's Chicken Wings in the Actifryer

-
It has been months since I have posted. Life happens! Other than my granddaughter growing so quickly, not a lot else is new on the people front. On the personal front, Karl gifted me with a longarm sewing machine a couple of weeks ago. It's for my birthday and Christmas and next year's birthday and Christmas and...lol. It's all put together but I haven't started her up yet! A little daunting! (Why is a sewing machine a female?) I'll post a picture of my first completed project when I take the plunge and thread the needle!

While the calendar says summer, the temperature doesn't. We've had a few nice 'seasonal' days, but today isn't one of them. I thought I'd make comfort cold weather food for supper, which in this case is copycat Mary Brown's chicken wings in the Actifryer. Then I thought I'd take some pictures and do a blog post. So, here goes...lol




I can't take credit for the Mary Brown's mix. That goes to Barry Parsons from Rock Recipes. It's awesome. Go check it out here: https://www.rockrecipes.com/copycat-big-mary-chicken-sandwich-taters/

I make up a batch of the breading mix and store it in a plastic bag in my cupboard. When I want to use it I pour some in another bag, add chicken and shake. You know the drill!



Then I place the chicken pieces in the Actifryer with the paddle removed. You don't need to add any oil. I tried a double layer of wings once, and while the chicken cooked, but it didn't get as crispy. So best advice, if you need more than 15-16 pieces, do a second batch. If you are starved you can eat the first batch while the others are cooking! If you can wait, put them on a parchment lined cookie sheet and place in the oven on the lowest oven temperature your oven has.


After 20 minutes I turn them over


16 more minutes and they are done


If you have an Actifryer basket (available at Canadian Tire or Amazon), treat yourself and add a basket of frozen onion rings on top of the chicken for the last 16 minutes


Yum!




If you want to do bigger pieces of chicken, I'd suggest still turning at 20 minutes, then checking again after another 20 minutes and deciding after that how much more time is needed. Enjoy!

Fish ‘n’ Brewis

Twas a great marnin’ on da water...I know first hand because I had to go to be the third person in the boat. I didn’t catch the biggest cod fish, but I did catch the first one! We didn’t see any whales this morning, but I was told that yesterday they saw whales and porpoises. I can’t swear to the authenticity of the story because you know men and their fishing stories lol. So I decided last night that I was going to cook fish 'n' brewis today and use some of the fish I hoped to catch. It's necessary to decide you are going to cook fish 'n' brewis the day before because you have to put the hard bread in water overnight. Hard bread, hard tack...whatever you call it and where ever you get it, it was a staple for our ancestors, mainly the men, when they went in the woods or out sealing. I can't imagine living on mainly hard tack for weeks at a time, but obviously history tells us that it can be done. The most common form of hard bread is Purity. Made ...

Partridgeberry Scones

There is nothing in the world as good as a partridgeberry. AKA lingonberries if you are from Scandinavia. They grow wild here in Newfoundland and at this time of year we take to the woods to get our winter supply. I have to admit I haven't picked any yet this year. My 81-year-old father picked 3 gallons for me! Aren't they beautiful! If you aren't lucky enough to have your own supply of these in your back yard, you can substitute cranberries in the recipe. The scones won't be as good, but you work with what you've got right? Scones are pretty forgiving when you are making them, and they allow for lots of substitutions, which I will get to as I go along. The recipe will list exactly what I used today, which is the best of the various ingredients that you can use. First things first. Lift the shelf in your oven to the highest possible position. Yes I mean the one that almost touches the top element (if your oven is old like mine and still has an expo...
