Ok I never made dumplings from scratch. I always used biscuit in a can dough cause I was so scared I would mess up the dumpling dough. After watching this today. I’m in , I will follow your receipt to a T. Thanks Ken. Btw, Ken was my late husband’s name. Have a wonderful life Ken. Bless you.

[@KenClick]

Hope you like the dumplings as much as I do!

[@PamalaNEW]

I have also always used the canned biscuits. I like the 4pack of plain biscuits but I'm definitely trying this recipe next time.

[@trinitywright7122]

Oh my goodness yes yes yes! I watch this recipe this morning and I went to the store and fortunately was able to get a pack of chicken for $5 (it's just me by myself, and a whole chicken was $10.) So I'm going to make homemade chicken and dumplings which reminds me of my mother and I'm so happy that you put up this recipe thank you so much

[@trinitywright7122]

PS I really like how you flavor the broth and I'm going to do exactly the same way you did it looks!!

[@KenClick]

Wonderful! Hope it turns out well for you!

[@georgepenn583]

We had left over rotisserie chicken and my wife brought me a cook book recipe to make dumplings and I told her, I'm going to check out Ken's videos because I saw you had a recipe listed. In her words "Best chicken and dumplings she'd ever had." Both of us are looking forward to using a whole chicken from scratch. thanks Ken!

[@KenClick]

That's fantastic! Glad they turned out well for you!

[@shirleypizzuto7488]

Ken, it’s so interesting you mention recipes coming from your precious Grandma💜 It would be great if you would share how you came to have her recipes. I appreciate your relaxing and patient demeanor. I watch videos from people that cook GOOD food and are gracious enough to share their recipes with all of us. I wouldn’t get anything of value watching someone do everything the exact way I do. It’s great to get fresh ideas in the use of kitchen tools as well as ingredients and ways of making food loved by so many. Thank you for your time and the obvious love you put into all of your work. You inspire those that have been intimidated by making certain recipes, because you make it look so easy🥰🥰🥰 God Bless you and Thank You for giving our Heavenly Daddy Glory at the end of each program. I Love Him, too💞💞💞💞💞

You're right. We all like dumplings the way we ate them growing up. I, too, love fluffy dumplings because my mom made fluffy dumplings.

[@earlygardner4738]

My grarnma Gardner and my mother cooked the chicken, took it out of the pot , then dropped with a large spoon the dumpling dough in to a gentle boil, covered with tight lid, and I believe turned the fire lower to simmer. Don;t peak. I think they were done it 10 or 12 min but will have to research the time. The dumpling was a sticky type of their regular bisquet dough . I am pulling on a 60+ year old memory for the ultimate comfort food of my childhood and teen years. I made coconut custard tonight and stirred in some left over crumble pie topping. Tastes like a sponge cake.....so good, we are over half of it.

[@KenClick]

Great memories... Thanks for watching!

[@khadijahashanti-shabazz9645]

You are the only person, besides myself, I have seen who use the opposite end of the spoon to mix the dough until you’re ready to use your hand.

[@sherrywilliams409]

Such a great detailed description of making chicken and dumplings which I absolutely love. Making them from scratch has always been such a chore but watching your video made me realize that it doesn’t have to be that way. I don’t mind a thicker fluffy dumpling as long as they don’t taste doughy. These look delicious. Thanks for sharing

Ken, these look delish. I am from the south and have had chicken & dumplings all my life. I add 1/2 to 1 cup of milk to the broth because it makes the broth a little creamier.

When I was growing up in the 50s, here in Missouri, my folks raised chickens. Some we used for their eggs, some we used for fryers, some of the hens we let's age til around 4 to 6 yrs. old. Those were the old "fat" hens with lots of yellow fat on them. Those were the ones Momma saved for chicken and dumplins'. So much flavor. Now a days all you can get are very young chickens at the store that have been shot full of chemicals to make them grow faster. If you ask your butcher for a stewing hen they will tell you they don't carry them. Ahh!!! Miss the good ole days.
