    My mom made this using a whole chicken, she fried it lightly until it was just browned after coating it in flour. Then she removed the chicken pieces, made her gravy using table cream and added the chicken, cooking until it was tender, about 30 minutes on a gas stove. This was in the 1950s. We had yeast dinner rolls instead of biscuits, she never was comfortable making biscuits. Cheers from Virginia!

Had to do some horse trading and petty larceny to get the ingredients but it was worth it. We were eating MRE’s for almost 2 weeks and needed some real food.

      Statements like that are kind of meaningless in a country where most people have never been to another country. People are making statements like this without any real context or understanding.
      For me, the best part is that immigrants have brought so many other cultures, and I can enjoy all of it.
      I live near a big city with no less than 3 Ethiopian restaurants. If I get a craving for almost any sort of cuisine from anywhere, I can have it. Ok, I can have it in theory, anyway. Most of the "Lebanese" restaurants around here are owned and operated by Assyrians (a Christian minority from Iraq, so it's technically Iraqi food with a vaguely Lebanese veneer). You get the idea, though.

    I live in Springfield Illinois, One of Mr. Lincoln's homes. (He moved here in 1837 and opened his law practice, then left for DC in 1861)
    When I was courting my wife, she made a dish she calls 'Saturday Chicken'
    It is my favorite meal she makes.
    It might have sealed the deal on me wanting to marry the woman.
    And like you , i could not help but dance a little jig when I tried the first bite... it's THAT GOOD
    All these years later and I stumble upon your video and recognize my favorite meal being made... it's the same except for those rarer spices.
    Instead, she uses garlic, paprika, salt and pepper.
    She acquired the recipe from some cookbook and kept it because it's very easy to make and tastes FANTASTIC!
    We will have to try it with the spices President Lincoln liked.
    But it's kind of funny to me that she's been making Chicken Fricassee all these years without knowing it

    The History Underground YT channel has a video with Sam Waterston and Martin Sheen at the cemetery in Gettysburg. Sam was talking about preparing for the role where he played Lincoln. He went to the Library of Congress to review as much material as he could. One of the curators took him behind the scenes, so to speak, to a room where the public is not allowed. The curator told him to hold out his hands, then placed some items in his palms. The items he was holding were the contents of Lincoln's pockets on the day he was shot. You could tell how moved he was over this.

    Hi Kent, Chicken Fricassee is an old Belgian (Flemish) dish, a receipe brought to America by Flemish migrants that went mainly to Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan. In Belgium it still is a popular dish in many restaurants. Great that you like it that much!

      @@JeremyB8419 Cajun became a thing hundreds of years later. France and Belgium are side by side. French is one of the official languages of Belgium. Cajuns are the Acadian refugees when the British ran them out of Canada. This was hundreds of years after this recipe was a thing. The Flemish were the French speaking area of Southern Belgium. Today, the county of Flanders is broken up into northern France and southern Belgium due to the war in the 1800s.
      The area became part of the Netherlands in the 1800s. However, the word Fricassee, while French, is first used in the 1600s in England. The English fought many wars with France and as allies to bordering French speaking lands throughout the 1600s.
      I've not seen any evidence it is Flemish specifically but it isn't out of the question. The Flemish are basically the French Belgians more or less.

It does not taste quite like nutmeg sort of like how ground orange peel does not taste quite like oranges. The flavor of Mace is stronger and more concentrated citrusy than nutmeg itself.

    Thank you Kent, for bringing American history to people. So much interesting information, that people don't know about the place that they were born in. They watch John Wayne movies about cowboys, but don't know the real stories behind them, and you do it with a medium we all love....Food! The dinner blessing puts the icing on the cake! Thanks again!

    Cooking with an old Dutch oven. You had me when you at buttermilk biscuits.

    Thanks for sharing the history and the great recipe. With Memorial Day remembrances so near I too salute all those who have given their all so that we can be free. Freedom has never been "free" and we all owe a debt to those who paid the price.

      Most American soldiers died for hegemony and corporations not freedom.
