Making President Lincoln's Favorite Meal | Chicken Fricassee

[@jvstcu76]

Kent, I agree with a comment from another viewer, that you bring joy to so many of us dealing with today's problems. I know that when I watch your channel that my mood will be brightened, I'll learn something new and I'll have a new recipe to try. Thanks for your positivity, faith, humor and patriotism. You are the quintessential American man of the West. God Bless you and your family always, in all ways. 🙏

My mom made this using a whole chicken, she fried it lightly until it was just browned after coating it in flour. Then she removed the chicken pieces, made her gravy using table cream and added the chicken, cooking until it was tender, about 30 minutes on a gas stove. This was in the 1950s. We had yeast dinner rolls instead of biscuits, she never was comfortable making biscuits. Cheers from Virginia!

[@malancronje6805]

That is how I do it. Brown the onions seperately, lots of baby onions 🌰. Fry the chicken then put flour on them. Put chicken stock white wine and some vegetables in with the chicken. When cooked add the onions and cream. I use fresh herds, a bouquet garnie.

[@TheTroopersCorner]

A history lesson & a great recipe, does it get any better?!?!?

[@samuraidoggy]

What the hell?? Your mom made you meals in the 1950s?!? Are you like 200 years old or what the actual fuck? How can you even use internet?

[@FrostiestFrontier]

Biscuits are way easier than yeast based doughs

[@HarryFlashmanVC]

That would be the way I would do this. But back in the 19th C they would often cook in the cream. The gravy then add the cream was more common in urban environments like London and Paris because of the price of fresh cream in that volume in the huge cities at the time before refrigeration. So the French developed the idea of coating the meat in seasoned flour, brown it off in fat, add wine and stock.. cook it then add cream and you don't need a huge amount.

[@xtremehardy388]

I love your channel and I love your passion for cooking. I'm a former Civil War reenactor (20 years ago), my first dog was a beagle (RIP to yours), and I have used some of your recipes to inspire my cooking (including when I'm on duty at the fire station). Thank you for being a positive presence. I love your patriotism, faith, passion, and kindness.

I made this for my wife today with biscuits. Her favorite recipe was the mushroom gravy with any meat, now it's number two. Thank you for this gift and peace be with you both.

Amen to that. I got a beautiful Wife and son to care for. Gimme the “basic” ingredients, and make them tasty.

Being from Kentucky the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln aka Ol Honest Abe. ☺️ I have to say that he has always been one of my absolute favorite historical figures.❤️😍 He was not only intelligent and self taught, but he had a wonderfully dry and sometimes wicked sense of humor.😉 He respectfully got his point across in a direct but honest way to anyone that made the mistake of sparring with him as he had no problem speaking his truth. Sadly, he and his wife First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln went through an awful lot of sorrow while they were in the White House.😔 What I love most about Lincoln was the fact that he was such a wise, humble, compassionate, and down to earth man, and it has always saddened me to know how much he must have suffered emotionally with worry, heartbreak, and tragedy throughout his Presidency and personal life. Thanks so much for posting this as it was nice to know that this was one of his favorite dishes and that his wife would have this made for him to make him happy and give him some comfort.❤️

[@bethbartlett5692]

He is one of our relatives, DNA revealed this to us. Through my Mom's lineage. I'm ever so pleased to know this, hands down Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Garfield, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Eisenhower, and JFK are my President picks, for they were Presidential and for their Presidential Decisions. The Parties swapped agendas in the early 20th Century, this mrans the Abe era Republicans = Democrats, thus only one Agenda Modern Republican makes my list, and that is Eisenhower, and the current Republican Party wouldn't likely nominate him today, he was not pro the Corporate/Military Industrial Complex. He was an Authentic man and he served this Country long and very well. 🇺🇲 Each on my list did, particularly Abraham Lincoln. Best Thoughts Kentucky!!! ✨💛✨.

Hi Kent, Chicken Fricassee is an old Belgian (Flemish) dish, a receipe brought to America by Flemish migrants that went mainly to Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan. In Belgium it still is a popular dish in many restaurants. Great that you like it that much!

[@JeremyB8419]

But it's French.... specifically, Cajun...

[@davidroberson1962]

@@JeremyB8419 Cajun became a thing hundreds of years later. France and Belgium are side by side. French is one of the official languages of Belgium. Cajuns are the Acadian refugees when the British ran them out of Canada. This was hundreds of years after this recipe was a thing. The Flemish were the French speaking area of Southern Belgium. Today, the county of Flanders is broken up into northern France and southern Belgium due to the war in the 1800s. The area became part of the Netherlands in the 1800s. However, the word Fricassee, while French, is first used in the 1600s in England. The English fought many wars with France and as allies to bordering French speaking lands throughout the 1600s. I've not seen any evidence it is Flemish specifically but it isn't out of the question. The Flemish are basically the French Belgians more or less.

It has been in Louisiana as part of Cajun cuisine for over 200 years and is recorded as such. The Belgians did not first immigrate to the United States until well over 100 years after fricassee was already present here.

This is the 2nd time I've watched this. I'm recovering from knee replacement surgery. So as soon as I'm able you can bet I'll be fixing this dish. I'm drooling while watching it this time. Yum❤

Kent is what being American is all about. The things that unite us all. Like Mr. Rogers, Bob Ross, and Bill Nye. Apple Pie, and Baseball. Nobody argues and brings conflict to a Kent Rollins video. Thanks Kent. The world would be far dimmer without you and Shannon.

[@kdarkwynde]

There's some political conflict in some of the earlier comments. It's disgusting.

[@brandonlinsey5625]

@jamesbogen4455 I'd agree, and I'd add Abraham Lincoln, MLK, JFK, Eisenhower, Custer, Robert E Lee and U.S. Grant. And maybe the American Revolutionary War, American Civil War, battles of Gettysburg, Lexington and Concord, Trenton, Yorktown, Little Big Horn, DDay and Bulge. Jess James, John Dillinger, Capone, and Capote. Nixon and Washington. AMERICA HAS SO MANY GREAT THINGS ABOUT IT! Our diversity, culture, heritage and History make us great. And our Will!

Thanks for sharing the history and the great recipe. With Memorial Day remembrances so near I too salute all those who have given their all so that we can be free. Freedom has never been "free" and we all owe a debt to those who paid the price.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

That we do for sure

Most American soldiers died for hegemony and corporations not freedom.

Thank you for keeping the past alive in the form of something as fundamental as food. My family is trying to recreate recipes that we grew up with.

I heard of this recipe from O Brother where art thou, and here I am finally finding time to learn to make it, thanks Kent!

Where in the movie? I remember the … stew at Hogwallop’s. Was it in the restaurant where they met John Goodman? I thought that was fried chicken.

Hey Kent, thanks for keeping the spirit of the old west alive. You embody everything that made it so great. Warm hearted, honest, down to earth and open to new possibilities and opportunities. Forging your own fortune out in the Wild West. I tried putting it in words but there’s still so much missing. It’s what we in Europe admired about America as kids. That quintessential cool, intriguing and easy going American. That good old days, simple and principled, value based American. Much love from the old continent

[@MTDixonSr]

Cowboy…I’m always so inspired by your cooking. When I go camping with my friends I load up all my cast iron and gear and I always end up being the camp cook albeit I’m just the “Cowboy” apprentice…I always use your recipes and you cookbook is parting of my cooking kit.

[@johns8771]

The History Underground YT channel has a video with Sam Waterston and Martin Sheen at the cemetery in Gettysburg. Sam was talking about preparing for the role where he played Lincoln. He went to the Library of Congress to review as much material as he could. One of the curators took him behind the scenes, so to speak, to a room where the public is not allowed. The curator told him to hold out his hands, then placed some items in his palms. The items he was holding were the contents of Lincoln's pockets on the day he was shot. You could tell how moved he was over this.

[@tofu_golem]

Statements like that are kind of meaningless in a country where most people have never been to another country. People are making statements like this without any real context or understanding. For me, the best part is that immigrants have brought so many other cultures, and I can enjoy all of it. I live near a big city with no less than 3 Ethiopian restaurants. If I get a craving for almost any sort of cuisine from anywhere, I can have it. Ok, I can have it in theory, anyway. Most of the "Lebanese" restaurants around here are owned and operated by Assyrians (a Christian minority from Iraq, so it's technically Iraqi food with a vaguely Lebanese veneer). You get the idea, though.

[@utubewillyman]

@@tofu_golem What? No, I'm fortunate to live in this country. I've traveled all around the world, have lived in different countries, and married the daughter of immigrants who is a different race than me. She and her parents are proud to live in our culture with our traditions. What "context" could possibly be needed? One need not have eaten a few token Ethiopian meals to feel worldly or make statements about their pride in American culture.

An amazing and warm experience. Blessed of God I am so blessed to meet you Kent through your videos. As I say warm and loving, the Spirit of the Lord and love always go way further. Keep cooking and keep blessing. Your channel has nothing else to compare on YT. Deepest thanks with much love. God bless you, your family and your love for God, Country and others. We need tons more of this kind of video, the REAL thing with REAL people just showing kindness, open heart and love to us all. Be blessed my brother. And let me say proud to call you my BROTHER!!

First video I ever watched on this channel. Watched the whole video, and though I'm a Southerner at heart, I respect Abe Lincoln as the truly great man that He was. I can promise You that the Confederate leadership also respected Him, and had nothing to do with the dishonorable way in which He was killed. I also admire Your faith, patriotism, and love of history. I do intend to try this recipe out sometime soon, and I just subscribed to the channel. Thank You Mr. Rollins.
