So here we go for some fried chicken recipes:

\"chicken Recipes\"

>>Fried Chicken (Version 1)

Fried Chicken Recipes - Amazingly Delicious!

~2 1/2 pounds fryer (up to 3 lbs) cut in servings

~1 cu flour

~1 teaspoon salt

~1/8 teaspoon pepper

~1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

~1 teaspoon paprika

~1 teaspoon leaf sage or oregano butter or vegetable oil

Rinse chicken pieces and pat dry. Combine flour with remaining ingredients except butter. Toss chicken pieces with flour mixture to coat.

In skillet, heat butter to 1/4-inch depth and cook chicken over medium-high heat until golden brown. Place browned chicken in Crock-Pot, adding wings first; Add no liquid. Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 4 to 5 hours.

>>Fried Chicken (Version 2)

~2 -3 1/2 pound Frying chicken cut into 8 pieces Salt Freshly Ground Black Pepper

~2 cups all-purpose flour

~2 tablespoons paprika plus more for the finished chicken vegetable oil

1) Trim the excess fat and skin from each piece of chicken. Sprinkle the pieces with salt and pepper. Stir the flour and paprika together in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour to coat on all sides. Shake off the excess flour.

2) Pour enough vegetable oil into a heavy deep skillet (cast-iron is perfect) to fill it to 2 inches. Heat over medium heat to 375oF (A all cube of bread dropped in the dropped in the oil will brown in about 20 seconds).

3) Add only as many of the chicken pieces as will fit without touching. Overcrowding will lower the temperature of the oil and make your fried chicken greasy. With a long-handled fork or tongs to prevent getting splattered, turn the chicken pieces until they are golden brown on all sides and cooked through, about 6 minutes. The easiest way to tell if the chicken is cooked is to poke a fork down to the bone near the thickest part if the chicken is cooked the juices will run clear, not pink.

4) Remove the chicken pieces from the skillet to drain. If you have to fry the chicken in batches, keep the fried chicken warm on a baking sheet in a 250 of oven. When all the chicken is fried, sprinkle the pieces with paprika and serve hot.

Quickest, Most Delicious Chicken Alfredo Recipe in Less Than 30 Minutes!

Your guests will be stunned at how delicious your chicken Alfredo is after making this. I don't care if you can't hard boil eggs properly; this recipe is the simplest and most delicious recipe that you have ever had. Everyone will be boasting at how you are such an awesome cook.

This recipe serves eight so you can just adjust accordingly if need be. However it makes for a tasty lunch with the leftovers so I always make the whole batch.

\"recipe Chicken\"

At the store you will need to get three boneless and skinless chicken breasts. A jar of Alfredo sauce which is with the spaghetti sauces, you can just choose any of them. A box of penne pasta, I like to use this pasta because it holds the sauce very nicely. I use Dream Fields pasta personally because it is low glycemic but you can use which you want.

Quickest, Most Delicious Chicken Alfredo Recipe in Less Than 30 Minutes!

You will also need a jar of Parmesan, a loaf of French bread from your bakery, garlic powder, butter, and a bag of shredded cheese, I use the Italian mix but you can just use cheddar if you want.

Approximately 30 minutes before dinner time you will cut up the chicken breasts into bit size pieces and cook them in a hot skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook until cooked through. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Meanwhile put a large pan of water on to boil and then cut the French bread down the middle to make 2 large pieces, you will want to butter both pieces on the cut side and then sprinkle with garlic powder and generously cover with the shredded cheese. Now turn the boiler on in your oven. After the oven is ready; then put the bread in on a cookie sheet and watch closely until the cheese is nicely melted and the edges of the bread are golden brown.

Once the water is boiling than add a pinch of salt and put in the entire box of penne pasta and let the water get to a boil again set your timer for 10 minutes, you want the pasta to be al dente. When the chicken is fully cooked than simply pour the entire jar of Alfredo sauce over the chicken and turn the burner to low. After the pasta is cooked, then strain and add to the chicken and Alfredo sauce and mix easily and let cook for 10 minutes on low. You will then plate and sprinkle with some Parmesan and a couple pieces of the garlic cheese bread and viola.

You can also make a nice Caesar salad to go along with it nicely if you like, it compliments it wonderfully.

Pasta Milano - A Delicious Macaroni Grill Favorite You Can Make at Home

I love to go to Romano's Macaroni Grill. From smell of the open fire grill as I open the front door to the sound of the singing waiters as I set down at my table, I love it all.

Unfortunately for me, on my very first visit I tried the Pasta Milano and fell so deeply in love with it that I have not been able to order anything else. I try. I really do. It all looks so good. From the brick-oven-cooked BBQ Chicken Pizza and the Penne Rustica to the Seafood Linguine, from the Chicken Portobello to the Honey Balsamic Chicken -- I am dying to try it all.

\"bbq Chicken\"

And I have every good intention to do so. I study the menu from top to bottom -- finally picking out Grilled Salmon or Chicken Marsala. I can already taste it.

But as soon as the waiter approaches -- Bam! I point to the Pasta Milano.

Oh well, at least I do always enjoy my dinner.

But recently I found something that should make my next trip a surprise to my friends. Copycat restaurant recipes are appearing all over the web and some of them are very good. One of the first ones I looked for was, of course, Pasta Milano. I found a recipe and started making the dish at home for myself. It is just as good at home as it is at Romano's (though I do miss the singing waiters).

Thanks to this copycat restaurant recipe my next trip to Romano's Macaroni Grill ought to follow a different script. I am now free to look over the wonderful menu and order one of the other dishes I have so often craved. I can hardly wait!

Should I get Chicken & Shrimp Scaloppine or Honey Balsamic Chicken or Sicilian Pizza...or...

Hello from Calgary: A Delicious Dinner at Il Giardino

After catching a lovely and much needed rest at the historic Twin Gables Bed and Breakfast we set off to explore the immediate neighbourhood, the restaurant area on 4th Street. We were going to walk, but considering I had been really sick with an aweful chest cold in the last few days, venturing out into the cold evening air had me a little leery. Henry from the Twin Gables was really kind to offer us a drive a few blocks up to a restaurant called Il Giardino, one of the places that had come highly recommended for this area from Tourism Calgary.
We entered a Mediterranean-looking restaurant that was just packed with people. We sat down at a cozy table and had a chance to spend some time with the owner, Mike Ciccaglione, and his restaurant manager Dorothy, to find out more about this establishment. Wherever I go I try to get the human stories, and boy, was I in for an interesting one here. I did not realize that I had connected with one of Calgary's most successful entrepreneurs, a real immigrant success story.

Mike was born in the Italian region of Molise and left Italy when he was 16 years old to study business administration and restaurant and hotel management in Switzerland. He came to Canada in 1962 following which he worked in a variety of hotels and restaurants in Calgary and Banff. He also studied English as a second language. In 1967 he opened his first restaurant called the Prairie Dog Inn which initially specialized in Mexican food.
As if that wasn't enough, Mike went on to open the Mexican Village chain of fast food restaurants in several shopping malls and in 1980 he opened the "Pied Pickle" chain.

Chickens

Logically he decided to expand his business to encompass the supply and distribution of tortillas and other Mexican foods: El Molino food manufacturing was born. This company manufacturers Mexican food products as well as pizzas and Italian pasta dishes and distributes its products to warehouses in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal.

In 1998 Mike opened "Il Giardino" (the ultimate in Italian food and fun), a restaurant where all the dishes were home-cooked had always been his big dream.
When we walked into this restaurant I had no idea that we we would meet such a successful Canadian entrepreneur. At the same time, you'd never know it - Mike walks around in casual clothing, laughs and smiles a lot and always keeps his eyes open to check on his guests' enjoyment. During our conversation he got up several times to greet or say goodbye to guests and Dorothy referred to him as a "big flirt". It is plainly obvious that even at 65 years of age, Mike loves what he is doing and Dorothy told us that he does the rounds throughout his various Calgary businesses on a daily basis. Mike is one of those people who loves his work and always has a twinkle in his eyes.

Dorothy has an interesting story herself: she is originally from Montreal and her husband, an engineer in the oil industry, hails from England. Before Calgary they have lived in Montreal, St. John's / Newfoundland, as well as Jakarta where they ended up as refugees in Singapore for a month during President Suharto's coup. Now they settled into a calmer life in Calgary.
Mike attributes his success to a strong commitment to quality ingredients and preparation, and he credits great support from his wife Lucy, his daughter Judy and his son Michael Jr. for much of his fortune and he hopes that one day his children will take over. He also recognizes the importance of his employees as a critical success factor. He told us that he feels it's very important to reward his employees and many of the staff at the Il Giardino Restaurant have been there 10 and more years. A young couple, the evening manager and the hostess, have 15 years of service (5 years at Il Giardino and 10 years at the Pied Pickel) between them and Dorothy confirmed that people really enjoy the work here. Mike says "You're nobody until people make you somebody", that's why treats his employees well and appreciates his winning team.

The construction of Il Giardino is a story in itself: Mike designed the restaurant and one of his long-time friends, Walter Petrin, did all the brickwork while his other great friend Vic Finot was the general contractor. Every Friday he and these two special friends get together to solve the problems of the world. Strangely enough, the next day the problems start all over again.

Outside of work Mike loves to spend time with friends, some of whom he has known for 40 years now. His family is very supportive of him and his wife dedicates a lot of her time to charitable work. Mike also supports the United Way and various fundraising drives for breast cancer and the Calgary Children's Hospital.

He still goes back to Italy every once in a while although he says he's seen almost everything in his home country. So now he is thinking of traveling to places like Asia, Africa and Latin America as long as it is safe and reasonably clean. Mike loves soccer and he even used to own a local soccer team that was called the El Molinos Dinos. Another one of Mike's big passions is his Ferrari and he said that every once in a while he puts it on sale just to see the interest on the part of potential purchasers. But when it comes down to it he really has no intention of selling it.

But that's not all: Mike is a movie star as well! He has had roles in "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" as well as in "Cool Runnings". It seems Mike is always up to something, and when you listen to his list of endeavours it seems incredible that one person can get all this done.

Mike embodies hospitality and while we were there he insisted that we get a real taste of what his kitchen is capable of. For starters we got to sample Il Giardino's soups: I tasted a Stracchiatelle egg drop soup while my husband got the "Brodo con Polpettine e Pasta" (chicken broth with tiny meatballs and pasta). Then I got to sample a taste of Il Giardino's famous Calamari (extremely tasty and tender) while Nigel had their Bruschetta bread. We also received a sampler plate of appetizers - Antipasto Italiano (prosciutto with melon).
That wasn't all: we also got a taste of Il Giardino's home-made Gnocchi della Nonna which, by the way, are home-made by Mike's 70 year old sister. Then, we couldn't believe it, the main course arrived: a sampler plate of three of Il Giardino's specialties: Pollo ai Funghi (chicken breast in a white wine sauce topped with mushrooms), Piccata al Limone (veal in lemon and white wine sauce), and Agnello al Rosmarino (rack of lamb in a rosemary, mint and red wine sauce). I am not usually a huge meat eater, but these dishes were phenomenal, the meat was tender, the sauces very tasty without being overpowering. Mike topped a fabulous meal off with a tasting of the most famous Italian desert: tira misu.

Without exaggeration, our culinary experience at Il Giardino ranks right up there as one of my best restaurant experiences of a life-time, the food was that delicious. I love Italian food, and the folks at Il Giardino certainly know how to prepare Italian delicacies. We had to take a doggy bag back to our bed and breakfast, there was no way we could actually eat all this delicious food. There is no doubt that Il Giardino serves great, freshly made food. And even more so, it was a pleasure to meet the creator behind this welcoming neighbourhood institution.
