Easy chicken & dressing

[@sandytaylor8482]

When I was teaching, the cafeteria was next to my classroom. On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, the cooks did turkey, homemade dressing, and all the fixings. The smell was heavenly! I would find a moment to sneak in the cafeteria and get a bowl of hot dressing, straight out of the oven. The cooks knew I would do that every time, and they were ready for me. Special memories. Mom and Mamaw were always proud of their cornbread dressing. Now I host Thanksgiving for the whole family. Dressing is my favorite item on the table. I love sage and grow it, but too much will ruin dressing.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thats so wonderful!

[@ralphstephan353]

For those of us who are learning to cook it would sure help to have a summary recipe with all the details at the end of the program. There's so much native wisdom which I really appreciate because my mom was raised on a farm in Concordia Kansas but I wasn't interested in cooking until years after my grandma died and my mom wasn't cooking much. I love the easy way, the caring way that Lori chats while she cooks.

Good, wet dressing. It has to be almost soupy when you put it in the oven! Otherwise, you get dry, lumpy dressing! Good job :) Laurie, I marvel that our grandmothers cooked us the delicious meals they did with the old metal pans and just a spatula and a meat fork. I have everything from Le Crueset to German knives....everything kitchen gadget known to God and man and I cannot copy everything my Granny did. Her biscuits were divine and mine, though okay, will never be like hers. They were masters at their craft. At age 62, I am so fortunate to have had a grandmother and mother who came out of 1911 and 1933. I treasure the recipes written in their hands and the wonderful stories and good times we had sitting at the table while my grandmother cooked. Thank you for bringing back these memories for me. I still have my grandmother's old metal biscuit pans. They are ancient.

So true, that's why I love old kitchen gadgets and pots and pans, I have so much respect for these woman! Masters at their own life skills! Xoxoxo

Food was different then. The chicken was free range and any feed was non gmo and organic, no antibiotics, etc. so it had flavor oozing! The flour was real. Heartier varieties and they ruined our wheat back in the sixties. The butter was more vibrant. Fruits and vegetables we're hearty. The cattle was clean and rich in iron and flavor. What we miss is real food. So we become like cattle at a salt lick or eating a barn trying to find what we're missing. We crave stronger flavors then we would eat less.

[@justlikeanoldhippie3100]

@@KBellaTruth i think you are onto something, Anna! I am so glad you posted this. I told my husband about a year ago that nothin tastes good anymore. And, it certainly doesn't taste as good as it did when I was much younger. I try and cook simply and using as much organic and fresh foods as I can find. Still...something is lacking. My grandmother also served up rabbit once a week in the fall and winter. My grandfather loved to squirrel and rabbit hunt. His favorite meal (from his childhood) was squirrel and dumplings. I had to pass on that on those nights LOL I just couldn't eat a squirrel but my Papaw had to have it every 2 wks or so throughout hunting season! Anne, I think the food processing is only going to get worse.

[@KBellaTruth]

@@justlikeanoldhippie3100 I can't eat squirrel (rodent family). And yes, our food supply is compromised. Homesteading would be good. The feed is a big problem too.

Dressing is my favorite part of Thanksgiving & Christmas meal. I Love the taste of sage, poultry seasoning, salt, black pepper. My Grandmother put half the giblets (which I no longer put giblets in my dressing) boiled eggs, celery, onion. I cook my celery, onions in butter until tender. I use broth from the turkey that’s almost done and if I need more broth I use the Better Than Bouillon Chicken Broth In A Jar (I Love All Of The Jars Of Better Than BouillonProducts) If Adding This I Don’t Add Extra Salt As It Is. My Grandmother raised her own turkey’s for Thanksgiving, & Christmas. I think I was 4 years old when she had me watch her harvest it and help her pluck the feathers. Love your videos they remind me of my Grandmother & her Love for our family. I Love Whippoorwill Holler. I Loved your sharing about farming cattle, pigs, chickens, gardening, living off the land. My husband passed away August 25, 2014, we also wanted to live off the land after we retired. I still live where we had 5 businesses all in agriculture. Cotton Harvesting, Pistachio Tree Harvesting, 40 Acres of Pistachio Trees on our home place, also A Machine Shop 70’ from our home place Specializing In John Deere Cotton Harvesters Heads. All of our businesses were successful. We live in Lemoore California in the country called the Island District of Lemoore. We live on the South Fork of the Kings River. I can look out my kitchen window 300’ is the South Fork of the kings River. Five miles North of our home is the North Fork of the Kings River. We were in business 37 years. We wanted to live off the land. Thank You for sharing your beautiful story. I look forward to future videos you make.

Aloha ya’ll! We had this for dinner last night and I’ll be honest…2 out of 3 of us LOVED IT!!! I admit that I had to make some minor deviations, based on what I had on hand. 1. Didn’t have a whole chicken but I hit on a major sale of leg quarters so I used 3 of those. Plopped those quarters into my electric pressure cooker for 40 minutes. Talk about fall-off-the-bone tender! Next time, I’ll try it for 30 minutes. 2. Since I knew the resulting broth would be strained, I added fresh onion and celery, rough chopped. I was sooo tempted to just add them to the dish, but nope! I wanted to follow you as best I could. 3. No leftover biscuits, so I made 4 slices of toast. 4. At the last minute I decided to add a can of drained corn. 5. I still had some broth left over, even after making the gravy, so I poured the rest into an ice cube tray for future use. 6. Wound up baking it for 40 minutes because it was still too mushy at 30. Thank you ohhh so much for sharing your recipes and skills with us. Now I will be perusing your channel to see what’s for dinner tonight, lol. Your channel is helping to make our mandatory Stay-at-home through this pandemic a whole lot easier to get through, not to mention the memories you conjure up for me of my Mom and Gramma.

My Italian mother always did it the same way. I’m not big on celery cooked into things, but by dicing it and the onions really tiny, and then sautéing them in butter til they’re super soft and almost caramelized, they do just sort of melt into the stuffing, adding flavor but not impacting texture.

Saute your onions and celery in a stick of butter until they are real soft. Tastes amazing but nobody knows it's in there!

[@TheKentuckylady717]

That's what I do, I cut onions & celery very fine pieces, I don't like big chunks of either in there....it does make it taste better than just using onion powder....I do use onion powder in a lot of things and honest I can't even taste the onion....to me it doesn't even have a taste.....I even use it and garlic powder when I make an omelette and you just can not taste either.....and my spices both are fresh, but I get them from Sam's , my Daughter & I share whatever we buy in spices....but maybe their spices aren't as potent as some you buy at Kroger...you can get a large container at Sam's for what Kroger wants for just a little bottle.....so that's probably why the taste is not as good.... I know I use cinnamon in my oatmeal and I put a lot, and it just doesn't have that good of a taste.....it may just be me LOL.....

I grew up with my Grandma’s dressing, but it wasn’t a cornmeal based dressing. It was a bread dressing (stale), with sautéed onion, celery, maybe mushrooms, poultry seasoning a pinch of sage, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper, eggs, chicken broth and cooked pork sausage. So the first time I had cornmeal dressing, I was SO disappointed! It was so different than what I was used to and the texture bothered me. But as I’ve gotten older, I have grown to like it, but I still prefer my grandma’s recipe and make it for Thanksgiving.

My Gramma’s dressing was like yours... with pork sausage. Gramma was from Ireland and lived in Massachusetts. I had never had cornbread dressing until I moved to Texas. I’m still not crazy about it. When we were in London we went to a museum that had old English kitchens set up. There was a recipe dated in the 1600’s. It called for a bread and sausage dressing! So it is a very old recipe!

My kids didn’t like the onions and celery either so I started sautéing them in butter and then I put some broth in my blender and blended those veggies right up and those kids never knew that dressing had all those onions and celery in there, he he!

[@lululemon6203]

My Momma did the same thing & to this day my little sister swears she doesn’t like celery & onions in her dressing! And Momma always put boiled eggs in her giblet gravy! Soooo good! 🍴😋

[@Caitja]

Just the flavor!

[@dianalester1351]

What a beautiful scenic view from your porch, looking around the property, Beautiful and so peaceful!

[@robingirven4570]

It might take me awhile but I WILL get through all your Vlogs! Your voice is so soothing and I really enjoy when you and Mr. Brown have your chats. But your cooking Vlogs are inspiring me to make new foods and foods I haven’t had in many many years! I’ve never had chicken IN my dressing but I’m sure going to try it! Yum!

[@liverhater88]

My mama used Aunt Jemima cornbread mix too. so good! I dont know if you can get Tenda Bake there, but I really love it too. I started using it when we lived in North Carolina.

[@ArmywomanVet]

I love your explanation of how you named your place, :)

[@harechick]

The scenery is so beautiful.....

[@fundamental1020]

Thank you Miss Lori! I love watching you cook. Makes me hungry and ready to try the recipes. Loved the earlier Earth Day discussion and stare at the timber. The earth is beautiful and we must take care of it. You live in a real pretty part too!

[@VickiesCountryHome]

I have never had dressing with the chicken in it, but I'm going to make it soon, and your gravy is beautiful! Love you!

[@genevievedarrett3163]

You are missing out on a good dish PLEASE add that chicken your family will love you even more ..🤗🤗😊😊💞💞 My mother rest in peace fixed her dressing just like this to this day I fix it just like her .in fact just fixed a pan for my granddaughter to send by her MOM to college this past weekend .got a special text ..Super Good Nana ...

[@reecee2941]

I’ve never had dressing without chicken.

[@amberwilder8650]

Loved the recipe. My sister's mother-in-law taught me the trick to dressing was to add more broth. My grown daughter doesn't believe in that theory so we always have the debate w/me saying add more broth. Can't tell you the pleasure I got when I showed her your video. Yes, I was right, see, she does it like me too - thank you for that precious moment!

[@susanhinson5154]

Great idea putting seasoning in the cornmeal. I always added it in when mixing everything together. But I also added a can of cream celery and a can of cream of chicken. Along with the broth. To keep it moist.

[@janicelantz3788]

Love watching you cook and listening to the conversation as you do. Thanks so much for the very special videos.

[@fannieallen6005]

Remember building a play house in the woods when I was little and making mud pies . The earth is our life. Too many take it for granted. Dressing is a staple in my family.

[@r1verman]

Are you taking orders? Do you deliver to Ohio? I love dressing. One of my favorites. I like the onions and celery. I used to even eat chunks of cold dressing out of the fridge when I was a kid.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Haha, I dont think it would ship well! But thank you, xoxoxo

[@teenapittman4241]

My favorite thing about dressing, is leftover dressing. Cold or hot. Sage or no sage. Celery and onions or no celery and onions. The only reason I don't put boiled eggs is because they get hard when you reheat the dressing.

[@bonniebordahoffecker4390]

I am going to add this to my menu this year. Looks delicious! We have never had this dressing with chicken. I’m excited. Thank you Ms. Lori.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Hope you enjoy

[@lunatuna9083]

Your voice is so gentle and lovely. Your country lifestyle is one many of us wish we had. I am thankful you honor the good earth, and want to be a good steward of her. The recipes you make inspire me to try. Your husband is one lucky man!

[@dustykeele]

What a great video! If you can find yourself one of the OLD crockpots, it cooks at a lower temperature than the newer ones. I much prefer the older ones, the only problem is they weren't made very big back then.

[@tahanthomas-daniels8841]

I love the food atmosphere and ambiance you present it's much in this era and weird time that that's ben inflicted upon us thanks a lot Look forward to more fresh videos from you guys God bless and thanks again

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thank you, xoxoxo

[@donnamullins2089]

Enjoyed seeing woods around your home place and stories of being in the woods and creek. I can smell the dressing now. And I dearly love good dressing. Thanks again from Texas

[@robertpickett2569]

You & Mr. Brown are the best. Can't stand all of the crazy stuff going on, I find you folks and watch every chance I get, got to stay grounded with the common things we need, you folks bring peace calm to life, you can never find on cable tv or with the screwed up world these days, we enjoy your shows, thank you so much.!!!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

I dont watch TV anymore My anxiety can't take it.

[@robertpickett2569]

Yes, you ain't kidding, I like baseball, but the season so messed up, can't even get a good radio game anymore, just disgusting.

[@ellenchilders7593]

My mom’s dressing was the one food I really wanted at thanksgiving and I haven’t had any even close to hers but this is how she made it!! I know it sounds crazy but I always liked to put the chicken and dumplings on top of the dressing! I can’t wait for thanksgiving, I’m making this very soon!! Thank you so much!!!

[@carolking5755]

Lil tip you might like after I put my broth in dressing to where I like it . I put it in my pan then I pour more broth just till you see it getting wet slice up some butter place on top then let her fly. I do mostly how your doing it . I really blessed I found your channel. I’ve need to find mores for slow cooker I’m not to good at finding some recipes .God bless.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thanks Carole, if you go to Pinterest, you can find all kinds of slowcooker recipes., xoxoxo

[@melissaspake7727]

My Dad was always the Dressing maker in our family. I miss him sooo much and every time I make a pan of dressing I can’t help but cherish all our memories. We always saved any leftover bread (cornbread, biscuits, sliced bread, rolls etc) in the freezer and that was how we made our dressing. It was always soo good! You have me craving it and I just sat a chicken out to thaw, I see chicken and dressing for dinner tomorrow lol

[@raymondbrown2112]

I wish I had been watching my mother cook, she was a great cook, whenever I watch you I think of my mother cooking back in the 50's through 80's

[@barbramighall4518]

If you put some dried parsley flakes in it, it looks really pretty but doesn't change the flavor.

[@carolynpatterson3740]

If dried parsley flakes does change the flavor all I know is I love to put that in my dressing. I love wet dressing at least before you cook it. My favorite.

[@glory1958]

Oh yum yum. I can wait to make a big batch of this....Thanks for sharing and what a beautiful place. You are so Blessed.

[@lorimc62lm]

Lori, I never tire of watching this video, or any other of yours, really. You're so calming to listen to and such a fabulous cook. Thanks for sharing your skills and recipes with all of us. God bless you and Mr. Brown, Miss Lori 🤗♥️

[@ravengameslife9071]

Just love country folks. They are soo genuine!

[@jankitteringham8483]

Great to watch your video's. I'm in the UK & find it so interesting seeing good home cooking and all your different styles. I think we would call this a kind of stuffing. 💓

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Yes, some people call it stuffing, thank you for watching, Xoxoxo

[@pamack1033]

It's called stuffing if it's in the bird and dressing if it's not,!ooks yyummy

[@fayfrederick]

Your place is so beautiful I would love to do something like that. And I love the fact that you respect the Earth so many people don't and it's a shame... Love watching your videos every chance I get you've passed a lot of knowledge to us viewers and I just want to let you know that I appreciate it. Thank you ♥️♥️♥️

[@paulaajohnson2597]

Love it made with skin-on, bones-in chicken breasts. The flavorful skin and bones are removed after the chicken is fully cooked. I make a great quickie dressing from jacked up Stove Top dressing mix, butter and all of the poultry seasonings. Another crowd favorite, it tastes totally homemade, especially when served with jellied cranberries. Something else I like to have with cold sodas or sparkling apple cider.

[@gailrogers7341]

I absolutely love your farm. It is so beautiful!! Thank you for the wonderful recipes. 💖💖

[@rosemarie6545]

That meal looks delicious, I’m from the South and enjoyed chicken and dressing often. I do like the onions and celery though (chopped small) otherwise it’s the same. I haven’t made it in a long time, now I’m really craving it. I am enjoying your channel.😊

[@lindabeard7035]

Last week, I made freezer meals and one was chicken, dressing and broccoli, covered in gravy. It was so good. This city girl love watching your videos.

[@lorettalindamood1345]

Hi Ms. Lori, I've made dressing a few times and yes, I used hard boiled eggs along with the bite size bits of chicken. I did enjoy watching you make it your way. Thank you. 😊

[@NancyB2P]

Yummm.. thank you for sharing. I just love listening to you share your life and recipes.

[@dinagarb1039]

I have made this recipe twice now in about 2 weeks time. My family has requested that it be put in the regular rotation. Thank you so much for your videos. Oh, by the way, I'm about to put a pork butt on to cook in the slow cooker so I can try tamales. I had to order dried ancho chilies from Amazon, but I'm making it work. Thanks again. I really enjoy watching you cook and seeing your place.

[@leewiley1944]

Now, I want some chicken and gravy. Looked sooo good. 🤗

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Hahaha, whip some up! Xoxoxo

[@margaretjohnson8322]

I have watched this several times and have mine made up and watching the gravy being be made. This was always my Mom's job. She has been gone 10 years and because I am the oldest girl it became my job and I never liked mine. So fingers crossed, we have several older men in the neighborhood and Joe looks after them, we will send them some.

[@kmiller6002]

OMGOODNESS now I want chicken and dressing 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@cindearbuckle6074]

im retired now so really enjoy the food videos. never had dressing like this but im sure goung to give it a try. you seem so nice and a great home cook. God bless you and your family ☺

[@piercecollins7812]

I jut have to tell you how much I enjoy your videos and your lovely patient way of instruction. Blessings to you!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thank you, xoxoxo

[@robinpankey5323]

What a beautiful place that y'all live. My husband is from Arkansas and he talks about it all the time. We've been married for 40 years so I've heard many great stories. Love me some good ole turkey and dressing so I'll have to try this recipe sometime. Thank you and God bless.

[@vickiescholl9453]

My grandma has since passed, but like you said hers was the best. She did add the onion, sage, celery. I miss it so much. Love your version.

[@tinster01]

My momma told me to use cream of celery soup for the celery portion. Also adds extra moisture for a yummy dressing.

[@arttouchesall1748]

I'm a Tennessee girl and find it so wonderful to watch your videos and find that we cook so much alike! Thank you for sharing from one country girl to another. I grew up on a farm in Ky.

[@kathymyers-host6187]

Yes Ma'am! I am watching this video; I think like you; the Lord gave this "goodness" to us; we should be good "stewards" of it; I "rent" where I live, but I take care of the house as if I "own" it; I keep a "tidy" house; I just LOVE your lovely home; you and Mr. Brown have REALLY thought it all out SO well!.....I too, played by myself, by the Creek; us Farm kids had "Forts" and a HUGE Sleddin' Hill.....nowdays it's all Video Games and Bad TV shows.....I'm NOT a fan of Poki Mon....I won't say anything else on that one....LOL.....But I SURE LOVE your Videos......brings us all back to Reality! And GOOD food! TY for Sharing Miss Lori!

@@WhippoorwillHoller yes ma'am! It sure was! Good CLEAN fun, too! I'm in your age range, so I remember 😉😁❤️

[@mariacline2511]

I have never used poultry seasoning until I started watching you cook. I bought some before Thanksgiving and have used several times since then!
