IF I lived close enough, I'd fry up some chicken and take it to the game!

Grandma’s Crispy Fried Chicken

1 chicken
1 cup buttermilk
1-1/2 tea. Salt, divided
1 tea. Red pepper sauce
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tea. Paprika
1 tea. Pepper
2 cups shortening

Cut up the chicken into 8 pieces, then cut each break in half crosswise.

Combine buttermilk, 1/2 tea. salt and red pepper sauce in a large 2-gallon resealable storage bag. Add chicken. Seal bag and turn chicken with buttermilk mixture to coat. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight – turning bag over once.

Combine four, paprika, pepper and remaining 1 tea. salt in a pie plate or shallow dish. Work with several pieces of chicken at a time. Remove chicken from buttermilk, shaking off excess. Add to flour mixture, turning to coat evenly. Transfer pieces to wire rack. Repeat process w/the rest of chicken, and let stand for 30 minutes.

Heat shortening and fry in a cast-iron skillet (with lid). Start on medium heat, and cook until the bottoms of pieces are lightly golden on each side (5-8 minutes per side). Turn and cook (adjusting to medium-low) 10 minutes more for white meat, and 15 minutes more for dark meat – turning every 5 minutes until deep-golden and cooked through.

Beer Brats

INGREDIENTS:
(And how not to get laughed at by brat lovers)

10 brats (I like Johnsonville Brats)
10 brat rolls - use sub rolls, don't use hot dog buns. Real brat lovers will laugh at you.
4 beers - use dark beer if possible so the real brat lovers won't laugh at you.
1 large sweet onion for the pot
1 stick butter
1 large sweet onion sliced and grilled for the brats
1-2 bell peppers - red or green thinly sliced and grilled for the brats
sauerkraut - Vlassic in the jar is the best, warm it up
good brown or creole mustard - don't use yellow mustard, real brat lovers will laugh at you.
Ketchup - yes some brat lovers put ketchup on everything

DIRECTIONS:

Fire up the Webber Kettle Grill. While the coals are getting down to grilling temperature. Pour four beers in a 5 quart pot. Drop in the butter and one large onion chopped up. When the brat broth is heated up, put all the brats in for 20 minutes.

Remove the brats and cook on the grill for about 15 minutes. Turn them often and don't use a fork to turn them or the real brat lovers will laugh at you. Real brat lovers turn the brats with their bare hands to test the doneness. A done brat should feel firm.

As the brats finish grilling, drop them back into the beer bath till ready to serve.

Warm up the buns, grill the onions and peppers for those that want them (the real brat lovers). Don't serve cold kraut, mustard or ketchup. Have these items at least at room temperature.

A well cooked, well dressed brat complete with a cold beer will hopefully keep the real brat lovers from laughing at you. When you have mastered the grilled beer brat, you can then laugh at the other nimrods. ;)

Grilled Corn on the Cob

Grilled Corn on the Cob

6 fresh ears of corn
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon snipped fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed

Peel husks back, but do not remove. Using a stiff brush or your fingers, remove silk from corn. Pull husks back up around corn. In a large saucepan or container, cover corn (husks on) with cold water. Soak for at least 1 hour. Drain, shaking corn to remove excess water. Cover corn as much as possible with husks. If necessary, tie the tips of the husks together with wet kitchen string.
Grill corn (with husks) on an uncovered grill directly over medium-hot coals about 25 minutes or until tender, turning several times. Carefully remove the husks and strings.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan combine margarine or butter, lemon juice, and thyme. Heat on the grill or stovetop until margarine is melted. Brush mixture over the corn before serving.

No kidding. My ex-wife was given the task of grilling the corn and she put rubber bands around the corn to keep the husks closed. You can guess how that turned out. ;)

Yes, she was blond. :D
