Come eat a SOUTHERN SUPPER with us! Southern Fried Chicken and more!

[@brendabowles8828]

My granny used pure lard in her biscuits they were so so good even cold they were good she aways made a big pan biscuits every morning we all lived on the same road(my granny papa aunts and uncles and cousins) and when we were kids we walked up to her house after school and get us a biscuits she keep them on the table with a towel over them. I sure do miss those days and my granny.

[@ashleymolina2177]

I make my fried chicken recipe very similar to yours. My daughter recently moved out and of course she calls me all the time asking me how to cook this and that but she asked how to cook fried chicken and apparently her man and friends said that she made it as good or better than their southern mamas so she was very proud of her self. She’s 19 by the way

My grandmother came to American from Sweden in the early 1920's and she showed me how to cook Kroppkakor when I was little. I LOVED the format you used for this video! As always, I love both you and Steven together cooking and laughing - you are so cute together. I always greatly enjoy your videos! I'm going to order that awesome Caraway Cookware too. Look forward to your continued cooking adventures! Thank you both! :)

If you know in advance that you're going to be making potatoe salad boiling your potatoes the night before and lightly covering them with Italian dressing overnight adds sooo much flavor. OMGoodness, the crunch of that chicken made my mouth water. 🤤

I need to remember this and try it. My grandmother always added a bit of yellow mustard.

[@kimstout6419]

@@barbaram5787 I add it to my macaroni salad. Funny story. My MIL'S family wouldn't eat her mac or potato salad. They said she put in too much mustard. She didn't use any mustard at all. She put in yellow food coloring because she thought it made it look better. 😅

[@barbaram5787]

@kimstout6419 That is hilarious about the food coloring. Here in PA. different areas when adding the yellow mustard, it is called Amish potato or macaroni salad or Pennsylvania Dutch salad. I think I need to make some potato salad.

I learned from my grandma to make rolled dumplings. My dad really loved them but my mom only made dropped dumplings. So he had missed out for about 40 years until I had made him rolled dumplings. What a joy for me to make grandma's dumplings.

Dumplings. Yummy. Tell me about apple stack cake. Got tons of apples in the freezer from last fall!!

Stack the cake pancakes on a plate and place apple butter between each cake if you do not like apple butter you can use chocolate icing or buttercream frosting

My grands and great grands call me Nana and I am a southern cook. Some things do take all day but so worth it. My mother was the most amazing cook and her grandmother taught her how to cook. Mother, at the age of 9, stood on a dynamite box brought home from the mines and cooked on a wood burning stove. What I would give to have one of her meals.

Just wanted to add that for me, cooking for someone who really enjoys what I make is one of the best things about cooking. Your husband’s enthusiasm when he tries your recipes is so fun to see.

My mother was an outstanding cook! She didn’t actually measure so my sister video taped her on several items. Measurements were taken during the filming and it sure helped! We made several DVD’s and my kids and many of our cousins got copies

[@lb1460]

I love how you changed it up. Showing your reviews before you cooked!!! My grandma taught me many things, but my favorite memory was when she got alzheimer's and taught me how to make gravy. She was getting pretty bad and barely talked anymore, but when I asked for her help with the gravy, she was her old self! Thank you for the great question made me really happy thinking about my grandma!!!

I only knew how to make eggs & baked potatoes when I married. My husband loved all cooking & baking. When we divorced, I gave my daughter lots of steamed vegetables & cold salads. When she grew up, she taught me to cook!😅😅😅

[@talulabanks1970]

We eat fried chicken cold and hot. Cold at picnics - this way brings back fond childhood memories as we didn't travel or take vacations when I was young. Picnics and eating packed lunches at county and state fairs were the norm! Even when we visited local zoos or amusement parks, we never bought food on site...it was always a packed/picnic lunch and generally included fried chicken, sandwiches, some sort of salad - coleslaw or potato - and homemade dessert - cookies or bars. My Mom and Grandma knew how to pack to keep items cold and safe to eat even in the extreme summer months. Those were the days!!!

[@judymullins9993]

One extremely easy way to do your eggs is in the air fryer. I know it sounds weird but they turn out perfect every time. Heat the air fryer to 280 for three minutes. Let your eggs be at room temperature and then place them in the air fryer. Cook it on 280 for 15 minutes. When the time is up, take them out and place them in an ice bath for a few minutes. The shells come off so easy and they are perfect!

[@machellesustaita9693]

Thanks, will try this

I like my little Dash Egg Cooker, cooks abt 5 to 7min, easy peel, less electricity, built in timer, hardly any clean up & you don't have to worry abt over cooking the eggs. I did, yrs ago, put on stove & forgot, went outside to cut grass, came in , they had boiled dry & exploded all over the stove, range hood & onto the wall & the textured ceiling. What a mess.

My granmaw taught me how to cook seafood gumbo, I would watch her and then she put me to work browning the flour for the roux, she would take some of us grandkids crabbing and we would catch plenty, grandaddy would cook them in a big pot outside and the whole family would help clean and pick the meat for the gumbo, we would go down towards Dauphin Island and get 50 pounds of fresh shrimp and clean all of that and they would freeze it, it was a long ordeal but every fall and winter she would make a huge pot of gumbo! I learned a lot of cooking from her but that was the best!!

My Granny just passed away not to long ago..😢 But she taught me to cook the same biscuits and her sausage gravy and her apple pie!! I miss her so so much. She was diabetic and her sugar got so high. God bless her. She was a wonderful lady! You brought back so many memories for me!!❤

[@lorriemazur9690]

I just finished watching your fried chicken dinner video . Your potato salad is exactly like the one I grew up making and so is your buttermilk biscuits. The only thing that I do different is my fried chicken. I marinate it in buttermilk for hours but instead of dipping my chicken in the flour I would shake a couple of pieces at a time in a paper grocery bag. When the chicken soaked up first coating of flour I would put it back into the bag with fresh flour and shake it a second time. The potato salad was passed down from my grandma as well as biscuits. My grandma taught me to bake goodies from scratch. I’m from NY not the south and am the granddaughter of farmers. So this was actually in my family a farmers Sunday dinner. Look forward to your videos every week.

My grandmother taught me to make tomato dumplings . My mother taught me a lot about cooking , but my favorite is “wilted salad “ plant bed lettuce , fresh spring onions ( green& whites) chopped bacon - salt& pepper - dressing - apple cider vinegar , hot bacon grease drizzled over the salad . Oh my word , one of the best things I’ve ever ate . Delicious with cornbread - white beans - fresh garden tomatoes 😁

[@pennyvecchio6239]

My Virginia Grandma always laughed about bettering sister on getting her biscuits to rise. Her secret…never twist the cutter, straight down, straight up. It makes a higher biscuit for sure.

[@cordeliacaffey3462]

Potato salad! My favorite food group. My Grandmother made the bestest everything. Her cornbread was the best. Gotta put bacon drippings in the cast iron in the oven. Get it hot enough that the batter sizzles when you pour it in! She taught me to make asparagus and white sauce on toast. So blessed by wonderful Godly women❤️

[@sisterabbyable]

I inherited my great grandmother’s handwritten recipe book. I’m 75 years old, so this book is antique for sure. She was from Germany, so most of the original recipes are German. She listed ingredients only, no measurements and no instructions either. The book has been passed down from generation to generation with favorite recipes added along the way. I always reference it when I want to make my mother’s raw apple cake. Delicious. Everyone raves about it when I make it. Actually I need something for a church potluck this weekend. Think I’ll pull out the book.

Made a huge bowl for mother's day, no leftovers. 😁 Now I need to pull out my recipe box and make these!! 💜

[@joanalexander1942]

Mandy here's a hint for your green beans. I make them exactly like you but add a tablespoon of garlic per can. Yumm. My family also likes me to add almonds at the end for some crunch. Another hint: I precook a pound of bacon, freeze and it's ready to pull out a few strips to add to any dish at a moment's notice. Real time saver.

Oh and I almost forgot mash potatoes n gravy that were AHHH-mazing. Her sister my great Aunt Ruby was the biscuit maker and kept her bowl of flour with a tea towel over it under the kitchen sink lol.

[@laurakrajnikburick2731]

My grandma was Slavic and only spoke that language. I, unfortunately, don't speak it. (Wish my Dad would have taught us). So she never taught me to cook. I watched her sometimes but felt like I was in her way even though she never complained. I miss her terribly. I would put at least two to three more eggs in your salad, I think it makes any potato or macaroni salad. My macaroni salad is well loved and has 6 eggs crushed up in it.

[@robinthornton8282]

You talked about eating the fried chicken cold out of the fridge. My grandma would cook a whole cut up bird and leave it on a platter on the pilot light of the gas stove until supper and we could eat on it throughout the day. The leftovers went in the fridge after supper. We never got food poisoning! Amazing! I absolutely loved her homemade biscuits. Basically the same recipe as yours, but with bacon grease instead of shortening. She greased her pan with bacon grease too! Yummy 😋

[@melaniemurphy2429]

I learned to cook from my mom, my grandma, my great grandmother and my great aunt! I am so fortunate and blessed. We all use the same method as your grandma lol.. some of this and some of that until it looks and feels right. To this day at 59 years old I still rarely follow the recipe and instead make it my own. Have a very blessed weekend! 😊

We are in the deepest of the deep south but Louisiana-style cooking is a bit different than the rest of the south.

[@Jaydit7]

When my mom made potato salad she would boil whole potatoes (!) and cube them when they were cool enough to handle (FYI: I was born in 1951...I'm talkin Primitive Times, here) and she would add a splash of cider vinegar while they were still warm...then she would add some of the dressing to the taters and whatever veggies were on hand...Oh, how I do go on, right?

Mandy, I have to say it was a pleasure to actually watch you eat and enjoy the food! Usually we see your guys enjoying while you film and critique. Then you say you are going to take a bite and come back. Anyhow, nice to see such an excellent cook enjoy the fruits of her labors!!

[@bettyboop32]

I make fried chicken, and I never knew you dip them in buttermilk!!!! No one ever told me!!! I will have to make them with it and see how I like it. My grandmother wasn't the type to wear an apron and teach the grand kids how to cook or bake cookies. She was sweet, but not a cook. I have made fried chicken by dredging them in flour, dip in egg and water, and then in breadcrumbs. Then I would fry them for a bit, then put them in the oven. I taught myself how to make them. My oldest daughter didn't think they were going to turn out. She ended up coming back for more. She was surprised I cooked them all the way through. But I think I am going to like your way better!!!!

Loved this! We usually have our first"picnic" meal Memorial Day. Have to include deviled eggs, of course! And some sort of red, white, and blue dessert.

But, we do honor my husband's fellow Marines whom he lost while in Viet Nam. A somber day, but one of gratefulness and celebration of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

[@MLCruey]

White Lily, Martha White or Southern Biscuit self-rising flour are the only brands I use in my biscuits (in that order). I also use lard and butter in my biscuits. The Suffolk Biscuit Lady.

[@Estranged180]

My grandmother taught me something about biscuits that I'd like to pass on to you (works with any dough, really) Flour your hands before handling the dough. It won't stick to your hands, the addition of the flour is negligible and doesn't change the flavor, and really REALLY helps to avoid the club hands. The other thing I've learned is about the green beans. Everything you've done, just add a couple diced slices of a white onion. Not a Vidalia, not a red one. The one that looks like a baseball. Add it when you start the bacon. You won't be disappointed. Finally, the only thing I'll need to fry that chicken is a splatter screen, because my wife is 50% neurotic about oil everywhere, and 50% anxious about fire and oil (gas stoves are fun sometimes).

Hey Mandy! I’m on my third Dash egg steamer because I totally wore the other two out. I noticed that after poking the eggs you put the hole side down. They should be placed hole side up so the steam escapes from the top of the egg. With the hole down if the egg exploded, it would be all over the inside of your steamer.

My family has Polish heritage. I grew up learning how to make pierogis from my grandma and mama. They both used the measuring method of, "about this much." Finally I sat with my mom and measured her eye measurements to get an official recipe and I'm so grateful I did. Although I learned the, "until it feels right" method myself, my mom and grandma both passed a year apart and at 35 I was the only other person who knew a lot of our family recipes.

Hey Mandy, my name is Jill and I recently found you on KZbin. I love your recipes,I especially love your openness and the relationship you have with your husband,son and Kitty-Cat. I live just north of Sacramento Calif. I have 5 adult kids that still live in our family home. My husband and I are approaching our 35th anniversary. I just had to comment on the swallowed chicken bone story. It's actually my BFF's story. Unfortunately she passed away in May of 2021 of COVID. I miss her each and every day. When my BFF's daughter was about 3 she swallowed a small chicken bone while the grandma was watching her. Grandma didn't even know it had happened. A few days later this baby spiked a high fever and her glands were so swollen it was emergency room for sure. This little girl was so dehydrated they couldn't get an IV in and she was septic. Finally, after being admitted to the hospital, an ear/nose/throat specialist sedated the poor baby and was able to do a scope. The chicken bone had entered her throat like a sliver. It lodged right by her vocal cords and the baby had a massive infection. They were able to get the bone removed and she stayed in hospital for 3 days. She was very lucky to have lived through the ordeal. It had a major impact on my BFF as a single Mom. I'm glad I found your channel. Thanks for sharing your life with us strangers.

My potato salad: several potatoes,cooked until tender, I mash up just a bit, not much. One diced onion, half jar pickle relish, 6-8 diced boiled eggs, few squirts of mustard, and a few tbsp mayo. Salt and pepper to taste. Yum....I also do pasta salad the same way.

Hey Mandy!! Those biscuits look delicious I have a tip for you if you are interested! When you put your biscuits on the pan put them right up against each other and they will raise up higher! Our family loves watching your channel! God bless!

That kitchen towel bread basket just brought up the sweetest memories of my mom. I just know she's on the other side, cooking and crocheting for everyone.

Hey Mandy! I'm just down I-85 a little ways in Anderson County and I've been on the hunt for a good, easy, no-fail, real buttermilk biscuit recipe. Yesterday, I tried a recipe from another KZbinr (that's pretty popular for her biscuits) and they turned out pretty good. However, today I tried your recipe and they turned out great! I am so dadgum proud right now! And let me say that this is absolutely no shade at all to that other recipe. It's just that hers is a little different (although it has the same ingredients) and not as precise. I hope that one day I will be good enough at making biscuits to just add things without measuring but for now I need precise measurements and in my opinion yours is perfect. I will also add that I might be the only southern girl that doesn't eat southern fried chicken. I like the taste of it but I don't eat anything with bones. I would use either small, thinnish breasts or strips if I made fried chicken for myself. And I will cook 'real fried chicken' (what my husband calls fried chicken with bones) for my husband if he asks for it.

Y'all broke the sound barrier with that bite of chicken!😂😂😂

[@XxShellyW13xX]

Mandy! When you cut an onion, cut the root end off first, and it won't burn your eyes. Everything else looks fantastic and what a treat it is! Love to watch your videos. Gracie is the star and made a cameo appearance!❤❤❤

Or stick in fridge for 10 minutes or so. Not as much juice squirts.

I didn't learn from either grandma, but I always loved cooking and recipes. I made a family cookbook (in a 3 ring binder) of our favorites and have updated it through the years. It has been a well received Christmas present for family members.

My Nana made the best banana pudding and she made it for every holiday. She passed in 2006 and ive continued the tradition. Everyone loves it. I have to make my grown son his own pan so he doesn't have to share with anyone lol

[@lorriew8627]

Oatmeal yeast bread..from one grandma...and molasses cookies from the other.. Loved the video today.. I am making the Italian penicillin soup for a neighbor that is not feeling well.. ❤ your channel...❤❤❤❤

[@Dizzy0360]

My Grammy taught me to make Homemade noodles & hot pepper mustard. Still use both recipes to this day. She was one of the little old church cookbook ladies and always had the answers if I got stuck trying to learn something new.

[@jaynecoin9805]

I want to tell you a trick I use for potato salad. I take boiled eggs ,chopped and take a bowl and add mustard ,mayo ,relish and all your spices and mix together well, then add to cooked potatoes .

[@lisastreet8920]

Nothing better than a good fried chicken dinner. I usually make mashed potatoes and gravy with mine since my husband is a mashed potatoes monster. My mom’s potato salad recipe is great with ham, so when I cook ham, that’s when I make it. Kudos for making biscuits from scratch. My grandmother’s technique involved her giant bowl of self rising flour, and incorporating the lard and buttermilk into just enough of the flour to make her biscuits while leaving the rest of the flour intact in the bowl. I was amazed she could do that. She made each biscuit by pinching up the dough and shaping it in her hand for each biscuit. They were awesome.

[@karenlyons3790]

Just talking bout fried chicken and potatoe salad... Happy Friday love this meal.. thank you for passing it on to us.. love y'all and appreciate all your videos with you and the boys... Gracie is so precious.... My grandmother never taught me to cook anything she passed when I was in elementary school... My mom and dad taught me to cook...

[@barbarajohnson83]

A Southern Dinner was great and on my list! Thanks Mandy!❤️

[@kimfisher7756]

Try first. I’m going to make the whole meal. Your potato salad was just like my mom’s except she added celery and radishes. Chicken was just how she made it. Sadly she passed away in 1986 at 56 years old. I always make my sister Jan make this meal (she’s the only one that can replicate it) or a least that’s what I tell her 😁. I’m going to give it a try this summer. Even though the biscuits are 3 ingredients, (I am not a baker.) I can make a 4 course meal and burn STORE bought biscuits in 3.5 seconds. I will give it a try. Thanks again Mandy. P.S. if I’m a success, I’m still not telling my sister. 😄😄😄

Both of my grandmothers died when my parents were young children. However, my mother taught me how to make biscuits her way. She kept a large pan of of regular flour which she kept covered in a cupboard. She would get that pan of flour out and create a well in the middle. She would add baking soda and salt to a little of the flour, then add lard which she shredded into little pieces with her fingers as she mixed it with the flour. When she had it crumbly enough, she added buttermilk and began adding a little flour from the wall of the well as she mixed and turned the pan. When she had enough dough formed, she pinched off a small amount, rolled it around in her hands, and placed in a greased baking dish. Each biscuit she formed she put in the pan so the biscuits were touching each other. When the biscuits were all in the pan, she dipped a large spoon in bacon grease and pushed it down onto the tops of every biscuit, allowing a little of the grease to coat the tops. Then she baked them at 450 degrees. Her biscuits were absolutely the best, fluffiest, soft, and perfect in every way. Although I copied her method, I never obtained the art of forming my biscuits as nicely as she did.

Now Mandy, you tell them Caraway folks that we want Red pans! 😞 I keep holding out for Red. Although, a part of me wonders if that peachy color would work in my red kitchen!😂

[@karenbrumley8095]

Chopped pimento is 10:38 great in potato salad also...my mama would always put some flour in her hands and rub them together over the garbage can to get most of the sticky dough off .works great..and she never cut out her biscuits..she pinched off pieces of dough and rolled them in her hands and when she put them in the pan she used 3 fingers to press them down ..one more tip..never twist the biscuit cutter just press straight down😊 I soak my chicken in buttermilk about an hour or longer before frying..makes it so tender and juicy

[@cheriatkins8378]

I plan on making everything Sunday. It all looks delicious! I know the green beans are because they're the only way I cook them now. My Maw-Maw was cajun and taught me how to cook everything 💞

[@lujuanahastings3310]

Everyone raves about my potato salad which is really my grandmothers. We never put green peppers. We put boiled eggs, onions,hellmans mayo, mustard and celery salt. DELICIOUS. We love warm potato salad or room temp and topped with paprika!

[@cnorovich48]

So excited to try your Southern cooked meal here in Wisconsin….especially the green beans! My mother-in-law made them and they’re my husband’s favorite. Would love to try that chicken, but we prefer white meat so how long do you figure I should fry chicken breasts and wings? I’ve got a favorite southern dessert (or so I’ve been told) to serve with this meal: old fashioned lemon ice box pie. Been making for awhile now and it’s a winner. Thanks for all the fun you bring to the kitchen. 😉

[@BonnieT.]

Hey Mandy and family, I love all your recipes. Your recipe for biscuits is the same way my Grandmother and my Mom. And they did'nt measure either. My grandmother passed when I was 9 yrs old. My Mom is now 85 and still making biscuits. Praise God for that b'cause my mom is my best friend. She has always been there for me through my health issues. I am on disablity due to heart desease, diabetes, asthma, and a bunch of other stuff I don't feel like talking about but watching you and your family always makes me laugh. I love yall. And I am a born and raised southerner too, Im from Charlotte, NC and live in Monroe, NC. YA'LL TAKE CARE

[@sherrynally75]

I just love to hear Mandy say "oil"...I smile every time!! Love your videos.

[@jerri117]

I was just thinking about making some fried chicken for supper tonight! You make the exact same dredge as I do. I just got some little yellow potatoes, so I may make potato salad instead of my usual mashed potatoes. I have all the ingredients for it. Thanks for the idea and the great recipe! Have a blessed weekend y'all! 💕

[@Starbuck2005]

Hi Mandy and Steven, I only found you this past year but I subscribed after watching the first of MANY of your videos! I love the way you just cook and don’t do all that fancy stuff! You’re so easy to understand and making the recipes you share just makes sense to me! When I saw your potato salad I was floored because that’s how I’ve been making it for the past 25 years or longer! I looked at several cookbooks and just used what I like and can easily find at the store! Only difference is the potatoes. I can usually only get 1 kind of potato where I live in Costa Rica and I’m not sure which one they are, they just call them papas (potatoes for those of you that don’t speak Spanish!)! But it’s still delicious! For the biscuits I have to make buttermilk because they don’t have it around here but I can get Crisco so I’m gonna try your nana’s recipe! Understand I’m the woman that can’t make biscuits from Bisquick but I’m pretty confident I can do them right with your recipe! Green beans don’t come in a can here so I make my own version of them and it MUST have bacon in there! And the chicken… OMG when Steven was eating his at the end all I could hear was that crunch!!! Yummy and will definitely give it a try! I’m so glad you did your own recipes for today’s video! And I bet Steven was happy to have what apparently is one of his favorite meals cooked your way! God Bless and thank you both for sharing!
