Fried Chicken Cabbage and Hot Water Cornbread

There are a lot of ways to eating fried chicken. But one of my favorites is fried chicken with cabbage and hot water cornbread these three foods together on a plate is something so good. And do not forget a tall glass of Kol-aide to wash it down as you are eating this very delicious meal.

My kids love this meal and I do to the cabbage is good for them also. I had read somewhere that cabbage prevents cancer, and is a very good source of fiber it will clean you out if you know what I mean. The way I fix my cabbage is I clean the cabbage I cut it up into quarters and rinse the cabbage all the way through till it is drenched. I let it sit for a minute and while it it sitting and draining. I get out my onions and bell pepper, I then pull out my pot that going to cook the cabbage in, I put a little water in the pot a piece of fat back or bacon depends on what I have to give the cabbage a good seasoning.

Turn the eye on put the meat in the pot season the meat, I usually use Mrs.Dash, seasoning salt, pepper I also cut up some onion and put it in the pot so when I finish cutting up the cabbage I just drop it in the pot and cut up more onions and bell pepper on top of the cabbage add a little more seasonings put a lid on the pot and let it cook from the steam from the water. and the smell, as it cooks it is really a nose opener. I then prepare my chicken which is most of the time either chicken breast or wings my favorite parts of the chicken. I rinse the chicken really good get all the extra fat of the chicken make sure the chicken smells goog enough to eat. I then season it and put some cooking oil in a skillet and let it get hot. While the grease is getting hot I season the chicken put it in some flour and drop it in the hot grease and let it do its thang.

Last but not least the hot water cornbread very easy to fix all you need is the cornmeal mix, hot water, and some eggs. Depending on how many eggs you need depends on how much hot water cornbread you are planning to make. It is very simple just pour you mix in a bowl and add the hot water, the more water you add the thinner the batter will be so if want the batter a pancake mix add just enough to stir you egg in. Get the batter good and creamy pour it into the skillet with hot grease and cook it just as you would cook a pancake. Flip it on the other side and let it cook, put some paper towel on a plate and let the the cornbread drain on the papertowel until the rest of the dinner is ready. After everything is done you will have a good fried chicken dinner you will not forget and you will have it again.
