Christy is one of my favorite chef on Cooks Country! She is just so sweet!! I could sit in her kitchen and watch her cook for hours 😃 She is one of those people you'd love to go have a cup of coffee with and have a long chat.
Life is something. I grew up in New Jersey, but my parents grew up in North Carolina. My mom made these cheese biscuits and she made cheesy grits too. Be well!
I love this channel. Loved the show on TV. Inspires me to cook at home. Fried chicken is one of my favorite foods and I've tried a couple of times not very successfully to cook it. Now I have the recipe and confidence to knock my family's socks off!
I love putting these episodes on when I first wake up in the morning. It reminds me of watching the Food Network when I was really young and getting ready for school.
Grew up in Eastern NC and my earliest kitchen memories are standing in a chair at my grandma's kitchen counter "helping" her make cheese biscuits. She used the traditional hoop cheese and lard recipe. The ones we could buy at restaurants in town didn't hold a candle to Grandma's. 💕 Best additions to a cheese biscuit (IMHO) are salty country ham or fried pork tenderloin. 😋🤤
When I was a little girl my mother would make fried chicken as the main dish for picnics to take on family roadtrips. This gorgeous chicken reminds me of those happy times! Thanks for the recipe!
It's a nice boost to the ego when you see a professional chef use the same technique that you do; especially if no one showed you but you do it because it "makes sense".
@@leoverran311 If the result is awesome fried chicken, feel free to shoot away. I'm Korean, and the home version of Korean fried chicken starts out the same way (in a smaller amount of oil than you expect). Like french fries though, it gets finished with a second fry in super hot oil.
I'm Canadian, so the KFC chicken for me is awesome. But I have tried this receipt from ATC and dear gosh it is far better tasting than KFC. I am just waiting after Covid-19 for friends to be able to come over again. So they can taste the best-fried chicken ever. Oh, and those NC cheese Biscuits are to die for, love them a whole lot. Love cooking with ATC receipts I discover them due to Covid-19 and I don't regret one second of it. I make my own fruit spreads, along with bets, homemade fruits ketchup, pickles vegs, onions, tomatoes sauces, and although I live with my younger brother, (we share an 11 rooms house) none of my homemade stuff last a year. I've tried doing double receipts nope still doesn't work. yet we are just 2 guys living together, for the last 2 years of this Covid-19. Yes, I am the baker and main cook in our house, my brother is not very good in the kitchen, but eating my stuff oh yeah he does. What is not so funny, my brother loves my cooking, but because of Covid and us living just the 2 of us, he gains 70 ponds while I remain the same, I cook but I do not eat more because I go shopping walks all over the markets to buy foods etc... he stays working from home all day. While where I work, I'm walking all day, et... I can make homemade double receipts (my pot is 22 Liters so not small) last a full year. Same with homemade tomatoes sauces, it's just doesn't last. I love watching ATK giving new ideas or new ways to make some dinners different. But with my brother it is like ... Gosh your cooking is amazing, leftover? NONE
The chicken and cheese recipes look sooo good and I will have to try them. Thanks ladies for sharing these scrumptious looking recipes, yum, yum, yum!!!😋😋😋
check out the mouse that runs from one side of the sidewalk behind them to the other side at 0:42 of the video. Now I'm here in NC and love these two foods together. Nothing like a good cheese biscuit and crispy fried chicken. Mice love them too lol........
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity and love💕 to all american and to the worldwide🌍. I'm harry Thompson by name. and if I may ask where are you from? hope you don't mind..
That fried chicken crunch! 😋 I’ll try this with buttermilk consistency yogurt because that’s what I have. Curious to know if anyone has tried this substitute and the outcome? Hmm 🤔 I’ll be working in my own “testing kitchen”, lol
Add a tablespoon of vinegar for every cup of yogurt to help thin it and add that acidity. Let it sit like that for about half an hour, it should be pretty close to buttermilk at that point
She said in the biscuit recipe to bake them at 500 for the first 5 mins then turn it down the temperature to 450 for the remainder of the baking, but she didn’t say for how long at 450. Anybody here knows how long that it for? As I would like to make them.
So I used to work at a place in San Antonio Texas called “Earl Abel’s.” The original Sanders and Earl Abel, actually traded recipes for fried chicken. Or so the story says, there is even a picture of Sanders and Abel holding a bucket of chicken and shaking hands.
Well watching the opening I saw something run across in the back and had to rewind to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me…sure enough it was a mouse. 😊
I used to work for Dave Thomas' wife. Dave started Wendys but prior to that he worked for the Colonel. She told me that the KFC chicken was soaked in peach juice for a marinade.
So cool to see you guys talk about KFC. I'm from Kentucky. I like to marinate my chicken in pickle juice and buttermilk with "secret" spice-blend before dredging and frying in a cast iron skillet. We need to get a bunch of Southern folks together and debate on who has the best chicken recipe! 😅
My problem with Smuckers strawberry jam is not the “sugar.” The sweetness comes from corn syrup, and I really think corn syrup is just not healthy. That’s why I usually buy imported preserves and jams- they use real sugar, and I think it tastes better.
The only thing I do different is I use self rising flour in place of baking powder in the AP flour, the other ingredients I add, I'm 58 yr old Irishman from rural Kentucky, & I can attest to to the fact that those are cathead biscuits as they are very popular
I keep buttermilk powder in my freezer for biscuit or scone recipes. Can I use that reconstituted buttermilk powder to brine the chicken? Or do I need fresh buttermilk for brining? 💖🌞🌵😷
How long do you bake the biscuits??? The only time frame mentioned was the first 5 minutes at 500 degrees!!! "The rest of the baking until deep golden brown" doesn't cut it!!
Bacon would be a good idea, so could some jalapeno or green onion but why not all of the above. I miss doing recipe testing, I loved knowing why reaction happened in the oven. Unfortunately due to muscle and nerve damage I got told I could never go back to my field
For your next video I'd like you to take a ball of that shredded cheese, and compare it with a lemon, and an "orange." I just want to see if you see call it "yellow" cheddar.
This is a good "recipe" because they use the correct technique. However, you can make great fried chicken with just flour, salt, pepper, and oil, as did my grandmother for 85 years. She had a secret ingredient: After you fry a chicken, let the oil cool then strain or filter into a jar with a tight lid and refrigerate. Use this oil to fry your next chicken, topping up what you need in the pot with fresh oil. Trust me, it makes a big difference in both flavor and appearance and is worth the extra effort. (Just be careful to not let the oil get too hot and burn the sediment, it ruins the oil for reuse.)
I wish that Jack hasd also tested those made with corn syrup (Smuckers) vs those made completely with sugar or honey. Most jams/jellies/preserves/spreads remain on grocery shelves due to corn syrups & other sugar substitutes. Makes it hard to find those we like & can eat without problems.
Facts: The real Col. Sanders was an entrepreneur who didn't become a professional chef until he was 40, didn't franchise Kentucky Fried Chicken until he was 62, & didn't become an icon until after he sold his company at 75 years old! 👍🏻 😳
00:42 Look at that critter run!
I saw that little bugger! I think it was a chipmunk or ground squirrel.
I didn't see a tail
I saw that too! 🤣 He was over by the flower pot behind Brigitte’s left shoulder before running 0:35
I think it was a rat!!
I was going to say....you can tell they are REALLY in a country setting as the rat ran across the screen!! lol

Abrams restaurant!! They have the "original" hoop cheese biscuits
I’m hoping someday…maybe…I will grow up.
@@brendawall865 My great uncle was the only person I ever knew that made cheese biscuits and he used hoop as well.
By far, the healthiest episode ever!

I love fried chicken so much that I'm sure there's some in heaven too. And probably with a side of cheese biscuits!
@@GipsyDean you’re illiterate…
Amen love fried chicken
I live in eastern NC, and a cheese biscuit from the gas station is indeed an amazingly delicious delight! I crave one every week. HEAVEN in a wrapper!
If you have a little cheese leak out and cook on the pan you get the beloved "cheese skirt". Always a treat to find it when you unwrap your biscuit. 😋
@@lisah-p8474 LOL, you got that right! Love a good cheese skirt! I may need to go get one this morning.....

Y’all make everything look so easy to make.

Field mouse special appearance @ 0:40
I think that was a chipmunk
chipmunk…too big to be a mouse
I agree, looks more like a chipmunk.
tail didn't look like a chipmunk.
It was definitely a chipmunk where do you live?
IT IS A CHIPMUNK! Not a rat, mouse, or squirrel. You can clearly tell at 0:35.
OMG! That looks absolutely amazing!
Yummy 😋, you can say that again wondering if you’re keeping safe yourself?
Wow! Look at that cutting board behind Julia and Jack!! 🤩
I have 2. I actually don't use them because they're so heavy and hard to wash.
I went out & bought an enameled Dutch oven just to make this 😂
How was it?
I haven’t made it yet but when I do I’ll let you know!
I hope you're using your Dutch oven for more than just this. I have four different dutch ovens and one of them is always in use for something
OMG - I can't wait to try this recipe Thank you ♥️

There's a unique bakery in Snow Hill, NC called Farmer and the Dail. She serves biscuits like that and sausage bombs. So yummy 🧀🧀🧀
That place is about a 4 hour drive from me. I may have to make a trip out there.
That's just a 30 min. drive for me , may have to check it out. I've lived here for 20 years now and never heard of these biscuits.
That fried chicken crunch! 😋 I’ll try this with buttermilk consistency yogurt because that’s what I have. Curious to know if anyone has tried this substitute and the outcome? Hmm 🤔 I’ll be working in my own “testing kitchen”, lol
might have to thin it out but it’s not a bad substitute
Add a tablespoon of vinegar for every cup of yogurt to help thin it and add that acidity. Let it sit like that for about half an hour, it should be pretty close to buttermilk at that point
You can add a little whole milk if it’s still not consistency you like
I stopped buying buttermilk decades ago and use milk with vinegar.
I keep dry buttermilk powder in my fridge and just mix the amount needed. Works so well
Did anyone else see the critter run past at about the 30 second mark?
I LOVE COOKS COUNTRY
THE CRUNCH of that chicken!
I'm going to alter every step and expect it to come out the same.
LMAO! As you should.
Right?!?! Because using baking soda is the same if you don't have baking powder! LOL
I think that is what I do wrong also.😏
Smuckers when you know it's going to be good , my go to picks are the blackberry and the red raspberry .
BlackBerry. Its absolutley the best!
She said in the biscuit recipe to bake them at 500 for the first 5 mins then turn it down the temperature to 450 for the remainder of the baking, but she didn’t say for how long at 450. Anybody here knows how long that it for? As I would like to make them.

Yeah that kept it real, lol it looked more like a Chipmunk to these eyes on a 55" 4k.🤣
chipmunk…too big for a mouse and looked like it was running from a tree
Also the tail is kinda fluffy too
That was no chipmunk but a mouse. I died laughing and slowed the video and stopped it when the mouse ran by and it’s a mouse 🐁.
Yep your eyes do not deceive you . I saw it too. But that was outside not inside.

Hola Amigas una delicia de chiken exelente 👍👍👍👍👋👋👋🇪🇨
I thought one of the strawberry preserve choices was going to end up being their homemade recipe. They've done stuff like that before.
Am I the only one who saw the tiny animal at 0:41 ?
NOPE I saw it too and also just commented, looked kinda ratty to me :|

The comfort food looks great. It's BlackBerry jelly all the way.

is the cooking time the same for all the types of pots for frying?
How long do you bake the biscuits??? The only time frame mentioned was the first 5 minutes at 500 degrees!!! "The rest of the baking until deep golden brown" doesn't cut it!!
wonering if i could use u know those grand buns grads bisquits for a short cut an just add the sharp cheese would this work or n o
Bacon would be a good idea, so could some jalapeno or green onion but why not all of the above. I miss doing recipe testing, I loved knowing why reaction happened in the oven. Unfortunately due to muscle and nerve damage I got told I could never go back to my field
