Crispy Chicken Stips




I found this recipe online and tried it but due to some ingredients unavailable I have changed it a bit. But these are so good and for the American's they are like Chilli's Chicken Crispers which are great. I love them.


Ingredients
Chicken Breasts 2 BIG ones is enough cut into strips
1 Cup Flour
2 Cups Self Raising Flour or Bisquick
1 tbls seasoning salt or salt
approx 2 cups club soda/soda water (this is the key)
1) Coat chicken pieces if flour and let dry for 5-10 minutes.
2) Combine flour and salt and add club soda, enough to make an thick batter, mine is always a bit clumpy but doesn't seem to matter.
3) Deep fry for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown.

Hasbrownish Oven Potatoes



We can't get bags of frozen hashbrown here but I do things and we really like it, I never seem to be able to make enough cause no matter how much I make it is always gone.

Ingredients
Potatoes
Oil
All Pourpose Seasoning

1) Dice the Potatoes, I use a french fry maker which cuts them into nice strips and then just do the final cut to dice it up.
2) Place in ovenproof dish, I use a nice big pyrex one.
3) Drizzle with oil and shake seasoning over potatoes.
4) Bake in Oven at 350F/180C or around there for about an hour or so, not really sure how long it takes cause I just check it every so often but I would say a minimum of 40min.
5) After about 20 minutes give the potaotes a toss and sprinkle with more seasoning.
6) You will know when they are done when they are nice and golden.
