This is how I fry chicken. CindyD's somewhat Southern fried chicken recipe shows the ability of Americans in the 21st century to obtain food easily. I was raised by a woman whose grandparents survived the War Between the States and who had lived through both WWII and the Great Depression. She never used an egg to batter anything — they couldn't afford it then. She coated her chicken with only seasoned flour. The secret to really good fried chicken is to handle as little in the pan as possible and only turn it once.

I've been making this recipe for so many years, I can't remember where I got it from. It's really quick to throw together. After fixing it several times, my husband 'discovered' that you were supposed to spread the garlic on the chicken. It's one of his favorites now. This recipe is very easy to adjust up or down. Just make sure your pan is big enough if adjusting up. I usually add more potatoes, since we like them. Serve with a mixed greens salad.
This version of sancocho (Dominican meat and vegetable stew) has been simplified a bit. The original recipe is often made with seven kinds of meat and served on special occasions or holidays. My fiancé is from the Dominican Republic, and his mother has made some amazing food for me — the first time she made sancocho, I fell in love with it. Don't be afraid to use more types of meat than I use in this recipe. This filling stew is great by itself or served over rice in the traditional way. It tastes even better the next day!
I tried this deep-fried chicken leg recipe a while ago, and my husband and I fell in love with it. He has to have it at least twice a week. Sometimes I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts in place of the drumsticks as they take less time to cook.

Serve with your favorite BBQ sauce, if desired.
