He can’t help it. He’s just a kid. He’s helping his mama and doing his best. I miss those days with my son. He’s grown, married and busy. So appreciate him now. He’s not a cameraman. I love it, dizzy or not...lol.
Oh my gracious, you take me right back to my Oklahoma grandma and her chicken and dumplin’s Sunday dinner. I actually have loving tears in my eyes. Thanks for the memory! I will be making chicken an dumplin’s soon. Grandma rolled and cut her dumplin’s.👍🏻🤗
You brought back SO many memories the moment I heard "I'm going to do it like Mee-Maw did", what memories of my aunt came bubbling up !! My Grandmother was treated as a queen & behaved as such, but my aunt, she really was more of our Me-Maw. Her cooking beyond compare. I can smell her chicken & dumplings or chicken & rice. She REALLY was an uncrowned queen. Thank you for this vid & Thanks to Robin
Oh I love how you get Robbie into the action! This is how kids learn how to do stuff. And it's how they learn they're worth something. You are so sweet with him. And no, it didn't make me seasick. Good job, Robbie!
Lil Robbie is adorable!This video made me feel so nostalgic and sort of homesick as I grew up in rural Ga.but have lived in NY 30 years.I am gonna make these for Sunday dinner.Thanks for the video!
Love the video! It’s great some of our great KY cooks are sharing our incredible food with the rest of the world! I also enjoyed the little walk back thru history! I have some of my Moms old cast iron skillets and I wouldn’t take anything for them! Shout out to your cutepie camera man!
Such a great lady! I really love your li'l Southern accent! And you are nice, and so full of fun! It is such ones like you that make the best meals!! Keep up the good work!
I couldn’t stop laughing!! You couldn’t plan that recording out if you tried and it was just hilarious and full of heart. I am for sure subscribed now and going to make these one night this week!!! Also all my grandma is legend with cooking. She doesn’t cook anymore but her Input is always golden round here!!
We (my family) always cook a whole fryer, let cool, and take off the bone. No shreds, but bite size pieces. We don't add the chicken back in until the dumplings are done. We also just push the dumplings down instead of stirring b/c they'll shrink/melt/break. In our dumplings, there's a couple of eggs, salt, baking powder (b/c we use AP flour), salt, and we also use broth in the dough. I have used milk, but find that the broth makes better dumplings. The only fat in them is what's in the broth. My mom always pinched her dumplings, but i.like rolling out b/c it goes faster. Also, I dust the excess flour over the top before pushing dumplings down in the broth...it thickens the broth a little, like a gravy.
@@pixibelle3282: 1.What gives "VIEWERS" options, is watching another video--or making their own video. A person doesn't do a video to have someone in the comment section give an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT recipe--that is just disrespectful. As I stated, if said commenter wishes to upload theirs for critique, that would be great, but stop with the armchair quarterbacking. 2. You're right--there is nothing wrong with saying that you do one or two things differently, in fact, a lot of people appreciate that--I do it myself, and I enjoy reading those kind--but we are NOT changing the whole dang thing! And we always make sure to thank the uploader and compliment what they did in some way. 3. The manner in which that was done made it apparent that Helen thought HER way was so much better (which is obvious with not saying a single thing looked good, or that they appreciated the video, etc). You may not take issue with that, but I do.
My mother made the best chicken and dumplings and I never was able to get her recipe. She passed away 3 years ago and now I can finally find out how to make it! Thank you so much Big Mama! You need to have your own show on the Food Network! Love you and your family!
No Denise, my mother made the best.😁lol ..same here, C&D was my favorite and i never learned how she made them before she passed 25years ago..i know she rolled her dough out n cut it. She used dark meat, bone skin and all..but she also used half n half n butter..so it was more like a thin white gravy kinda with fluffy squares of dough and chicken..my mouth waters just thinking about how they taste.i don't think i could ever come close to replicating it, so i don't even try. I want to remember how my moms tasted and not mess it up traumatized by how mine taste😝
Oh my goodness!! I sure wish I lived close to you. You cook exactly like my grandma used to cook. It is so much fun watching your videos. Keep it up! I wish I had paid closer attention to her when she was still here. I always like to think that she is somehow closer to me, watching when I use her bowls, spoons, etc. I try to keep my things out and have my granddaughter watch me do things so she will learn too. I hope she will think about me when she becomes a grandma too!
I love the old time cooking. That's when food was the best. Stewed squash, fried okra, fried green tomatoes, Turnip greens, crisp cornbread cooked in an iron skittle. Man I could go on and on I am 64 and still want the old time cooking. And I still cook that way. Loved watching your video.
Big Momma, you sound like me & my boy in the kitchen...i have never measured a thing & dont intend to either & i love that you were just you, sweetly apologized to any ocd people, then kept on being you & that is refreshing. May God continue to bless you & your family always.
My mama always at the end when u cut it off . She would put a small can of carnations can milk straight no water addd . Made it real creamy and 1/2 stick real butter. Corn bread butter beans and a jar of canned beets. So good . I’m gonna make that tomorrow . Thanks for reminding me 🙋♀️
Love this video! I grew up in Kentucky and my memaw always had sweet tea and biscuits, garden fresh potatoes,green beans, tomatoes, turnips and canned the best apple butter I've ever had in my life to this day. I've tried to find apple butter as good as hers all my life. Y'all are country folk, I can tell lols. It's a beautiful life and great tasting food that you just can't find in a cook book. I have dishes from my memaw's house and from my aunt monkey tail that I wouldn't trade for no amount of money. I still make an old family recipe for holiday dressing that has been passed down since civil war days. I agree our gadgets help us make cooking easier these days, but the traditions we pass down are priceless! Thank you for sharing your kitchen with me :)
Our grandma alwaysmade homemade chicken and dumplings from scratch...totally homemade ..we called her Big Mama ...Best smell on our farm..was anything Big Mama cooked .Southern folk know how to cook....Bless You and your family....
Hey give the baby boy a break, I'm thinking he was just wantin to get in there and get him some of that chicken and dumplin. And for the bacon grease fat sitting on the stove, my mama was from Louisiana and we always had a bacon grease canister sittin on the stove. Nowadays it's all now you can't do that.
Just made my first pot of chicken and dumplings. YUM!! Little buddy with the camera did a great job! Keep it up! Thanks y’all! - Brandon from Birmingham, Alabama
Well howdy-do neighbor... I'm from Lexington NC too and I love chicken 'n dumplings. My kids grew up on them and my youngest son insisted that I make it for his wedding meal. His college friends loved it when he come home for the weekends and I send him back a big container for him to share with his friends, they'd come home with him on some weekend just for my chicken 'n dumplings. I received so many hugs around the neck from so many college young men.
Oh Lawd! I. Have. Seen. Everything. Now. Shredding chicken with an electric hand mixer. I can't thank you enough.. Married 51 years and I'm so fed up with hand shredding chicken. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw that bowl with the shredded chicken. You are just too, too, too awesome. I adore chicken and dumplings but I have the worst time with it. The recipes I always see of them says to put the dumplings in and put a lid on them and NEVER take a peek at them until about 20 mins. Never works for me and I'm tired of losing a whole pot of chicken trying to make dumplings. I feel confident now that I'll do just fine. You are a real gem. Thank you so much.
Hello new subbie here and love some southern cookin.....my daddy and his family is all from the south.....the only way to eat. So happy to hear you are gonna be coming back. You are absolutely right on the kitchen tools and cookware makes everything taste better when they are cooked in handed down items. Memories and traditions start in every home through the kitchen. Blessings from AZ 🌵🌞🌴🙏
This looks delicious! I am from South Mississippi, my BF is from North Carolina! The only thing we do differently here is add diced celery and a stick of butter. Lol! Great video thanks for sharing :)
Hey @Amanda Moore... South Alabama here.. Raised in Central Mississippi moved to the Gulf Coast almost 12 years ago. My late husband was from the east coast and retired Navy so our tastes varied but when it came to true southern cooking he left me alone 😁
Your accent and sense of humor remind me of my grandmama. I could listen to you talk all day, and I love the cookin’-that’s how we cook in my family, too.
Eva Marroquin This is a true country woman... Lol She made me smile and laugh thinking about my Grandma Minnie. My granny was old school and southern...(I'm a Northerner) Dumplings was her specialty. My grandma pull chicken apart and rolled out her dough then sliced with a knife. I loved helping her as a kid. #lovesouthernfolks #lol #RIPgrandma Nice video!
I just got done making these dumplings and WOOOWWWWWW they are absolutely scrumptious!!! Hands down, they are the best ones I've ever eaten AND cooked! Thank you so very much for sharing your recipe!
I walked passed my moms room while she was watching you on UA-cam, and heard your accent. I told myself: I love her, I love her voice, and I'm going to subscribe. I'll learn a different way of cooking Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Oh my gosh thank you so much for sharing your recipe, I've wanted to learn this recipe!! I think you and your family are fantastic, you but a smile on my face, God bless you and your beautiful family!🙂
Oh you got it goin on.I'm from Indiana and I keep my bacon grease in a mason jar.Love your spirit and that sweet Lil camera man of yours.I have 5 grands.The oldest is about to get married, the youngest is a boy he's eleven.Best Lil helper they is.At least to this Ole Mamaw.Hey glad I found ya.Be watchin more.God Bless!.
Belmont NC ,born and raised.besides the cup of bacon grease,I always have a cup of fastback grease.mmmm that delicious flavor of the south.Loved your videos.New subscriber
Big Mama just found your channel . I make chicken and dumplings often. You call your husband Big Daddy and that is what I called my husband for 20 years. He went to heaven last September. Love to hear someone call that name Big Daddy. Great Video
Shredding the chicken with the mixer is a great tip. The one thing I don’t like about making c&d is taking the chicken out and cutting it up. My grandmama never measured either. Thank you for sharing.
You are such a sweetie. Nothing wrong with gray hair. My dad graduated high school with a full head of gray hair. He passed away 3 wks before he turned 75 he still had a full head of thick hair but then it was white. Your dinner looks delicious. Thank you for your hospitality.
I was just telling a friend of mine yesterday that EVERY Sunday my Grandmother used to make her famous pot of Chicken and Dumplings and never passed the recipe down to me. I seriously doubt that she even used a recipe like your Mama everything was in their heads and no measuring either. I love your recipe and hope to try it soon. We love chicken.
I have my momma’s cast iron skillet and some other utensils. They were made to last back then. My mommas put a bay leaf in her chicken while she cooked her whole chicken. But her dumplings were made from canned biscuit dough. So your dumplings remind me of hers, round and puffy; YUM! Thanks for the video.
Love your upbeat attitude.. and sense of humor‼️ enjoyable video‼️👍👍was reminiscing about my sweet mother doing her biscuits in her wooden dough bowl making the well and then taking her hand and scooping it in around the sides... I still have her wooden dough bowl... a Munsinger... what a neat idea of using the mixer on the chicken I like to get things done too... haven’t made chicken and dumplings in a while...Also as far as your hair is concerned was the reason that the beautician said that about going bald,was it the dye that you used for years❓
I love to hear about all the vintage items and the story s who used what and who cooked what the best people who r growing up need to know about the past all thou they may havepassed away. But never for gotten. Each story in a living reminder
That is one slick trick shredding the chicken with beaters. I happened to be making chicken soup with breasts when I took a break and sat down to watch some food videos. And there it was. I did it. It works perfectly. Thank you!
Do I use Mom’s cooking things? Yes, I have a 8” square metal pan with a slide-on metal lid, to bake brownies in, that my Mom bought in the sixties. I can’t hardly bake them in anything else. I also have a wood tray my Grandpa made for Grandma for serving crackers on chili con carne night. My Mom had some little brown melamine bowls that I still eat my Cheerios out of. When I touch these things, it brings back sweet memories. Thanks for the dumpling demonstration...I’m going to make some while we’re camping this weekend. I expect I’d better make plenty, because our neighbor campers will probably want some if it smells as delicious as it looks!
I wish I had smell-a-vision! Thanks for the fun video and the awesome mixer trick. I have kitchen cabinets and drawers full of bowls and cups and tools from my mom and my aunts and some items that were my grandma's. I love all that "vintage" stuff and I use it everyday when cooking or baking. This is the first time I have ever seen dumplings made without eggs. I didn't even know it was something that people do. I can't wait to try this and see how it goes. Thanks again for sharing and taking us into your kitchen with you. 😊 ❤️
@@rhena97 My Grannie ALWAYS used buttermilk and Crisco, my mother-in-law just uses flour, milk or water, and that's it... very bland but GREAT with butter... Some people were just too poor to afford buttermilk, butter, milk, etc
Great recipe. I had never made chicken and dumplings before. Your recipe was so easy. Loved the mixer trick. Both my neighbors said it was wonderful. Thanks
That's exactly what I do with canned green beans...I always dump out the liquid and rinse the beans in the can and then cook them in fresh cold water...always makes them taste like they were fresh...and of course fatback or bacon grease. I miss the little farm that my late hubby and I had...we raised our own chickens and the taste of the chicken and dumplings were so much better...can't get that with store bought, but since that's all I can get now, that's what I use. Your chicken breast way is really better and healthier too...so, I am gonna give it a try too. I wish I had some of my Grandmother's kitchen stuff...all I have is a yellow melamine creamer that I keep in my flour container, from my mom. I have both of my Grandmother's white church gloves though...I love them. When I make mine...I just drop mine by teaspoon...I think I need to try your way, now that I see what you are doing. That sure does look good and I can almost smell it from here...lol Loved your video...thanks so much for your recipe too and the time it took you to make it and upload it here for all of us to share too. God Bless you and your family...💖🙏💖
I was just scrolling through UA-cam looking for The best ways to make chicken and dumplings I swear I just love you you sound so happy I love your accent god bless you
Your chicken and dumplings look good. You are the 2nd person I've seen using a mixer to shred chicken. That is a great idea............. I make dumplings from scratch but when I want to take a shortcut I buy canned biscuits and cut them into pieces and use them instead. The canned biscuits are great in pea dumplings too. ..... The canning process is what preserves the green beans. There are no added preservatives in that brand of green beans. Aside from the green beans the only other things in the can are water and salt. If you need to watch your salt intake, draining them is a good idea BUT you are also dumping the nutrients that leach into the water during the canning process. To get the nutrients you need to consume the liquid too. These aren't really any different than what you'd can at home except for the fact that they are in a can vs a jar.
I love you mentioned Dollar General, when I managed them as soon as I started stocking the spices I would always grab up a case of each. I live to cook, they are great and I cook a lot.
You're so right!!! I'm 5th generation and have kitchen stuff still in use. You know the phrase "she who dies with the most kitchen gadgets wins?" Well, that's me. Metal measuring containers have indentation marks so they don't rub off like the glass containers do.
Oh my goodness! My former Mother-in-law makes the BEST chicken & dumplings and this looks just like hers! I am so hungry for some now and you’ve given me the courage to try to make a big pot of them now. Thank you! 😊
OMG, this video is sooooo funny. I love the interaction between the grandma and her grandson...
I fell in love as soon as I seen the coffee cup of bacon grease. You cook like my grandma and this recipe will be made in my home tonight !
Yessir💜💜💜
You ain't Southern if you ain't got a stash of bacon grease
He can’t help it. He’s just a kid. He’s helping his mama and doing his best. I miss those days with my son. He’s grown, married and busy. So appreciate him now. He’s not a cameraman. I love it, dizzy or not...lol.
Marsha Jenkins thank you so much!!!
Oh my gracious, you take me right back to my Oklahoma grandma and her chicken and dumplin’s Sunday dinner. I actually have loving tears in my eyes. Thanks for the memory! I will be making chicken an dumplin’s soon. Grandma rolled and cut her dumplin’s.👍🏻🤗
“Ya just stick ya finger down in dere and git ya some”.... love it.
As soon as I heard your voice I missed my friends in NC soooo much!!! I am gonna try this tomorrow!! Looks delish!!!
You brought back SO many memories the moment I heard "I'm going to do it like Mee-Maw did", what memories of my aunt came bubbling up !! My Grandmother was treated as a queen & behaved as such, but my aunt, she really was more of our Me-Maw. Her cooking beyond compare. I can smell her chicken & dumplings or chicken & rice. She REALLY was an uncrowned queen. Thank you for this vid & Thanks to Robin

Oh lord honey didnt get to see everthing live you but might want to get a tripod to hold your camera .
Thank you so much for not adding vegtables. This is how I was raised to make it. The right way.
Love u people, you're casual and don't put on airs! You're like the folks I grew up around
Omg! What a wonderful southern personality! Love it!!
The fact that you have the same supplies that generations of your family has used for hundreds of meals is the sweetest thing!
And you ain't Southern unless you got a bowl of flour already in your cabinet... HA I LOVE YOUR PERSONALITY AND SOUTHERN STYLE!!
I was just flooded with memories of my southern gram'ma while watching you! Thank You!!

With all that water you are going to weaken your chicken stock you should have added some chicken bullions the flavoring

Sug, no worries about measurements. Everyone knows it's a pinch, a handful, or a cuppa.

My grandma always had bacon grease on the stove. We always measure by sight forget cups and spoons
I just found your channel. You are hilarious. I love it! I'm a fan...
Belmont NC ,born and raised.besides the cup of bacon grease,I always have a cup of fastback grease.mmmm that delicious flavor of the south.Loved your videos.New subscriber
Hand mixer to shredded chicken is brilliant!Great video!
Love the way you cook. I'm a country gal that loves her some good chicken and dumplings. Love your accent
Big Mama just found your channel . I make chicken and dumplings often. You call your husband Big Daddy and that is what I called my husband for 20 years. He went to heaven last September. Love to hear someone call that name Big Daddy. Great Video
💘💘💘
Shredding the chicken with the mixer is a great tip. The one thing I don’t like about making c&d is taking the chicken out and cutting it up. My grandmama never measured either. Thank you for sharing.
You are such a sweetie. Nothing wrong with gray hair. My dad graduated high school with a full head of gray hair. He passed away 3 wks before he turned 75 he still had a full head of thick hair but then it was white.
Your dinner looks delicious.
Thank you for your hospitality.
I was just telling a friend of mine yesterday that EVERY Sunday my Grandmother used to make her famous pot of Chicken and Dumplings and never passed the recipe down to me. I seriously doubt that she even used a recipe like your Mama everything was in their heads and no measuring either. I love your recipe and hope to try it soon. We love chicken.
I had to subscribe.. I love how realistic this is.. I'll try this recipe soon too
I have my momma’s cast iron skillet and some other utensils. They were made to last back then.
My mommas put a bay leaf in her chicken while she cooked her whole chicken. But her dumplings were made from canned biscuit dough. So your dumplings remind me of hers, round and puffy; YUM! Thanks for the video.
Love your upbeat attitude.. and sense of humor‼️
enjoyable video‼️👍👍was reminiscing about my sweet mother doing her biscuits in her wooden dough bowl making the well and then taking her hand and scooping it in around the sides... I still have her wooden dough bowl... a Munsinger... what a neat idea of using the mixer on the chicken I like to get things done too... haven’t made chicken and dumplings in a while...Also as far as your hair is concerned was the reason that the beautician said that about going bald,was it the dye that you used for years❓
I love to hear about all the vintage items and the story s who used what and who cooked what the best people who r growing up need to know about the past all thou they may havepassed away. But never for gotten. Each story in a living reminder
That is one slick trick shredding the chicken with beaters. I happened to be making chicken soup with breasts when I took a break and sat down to watch some food videos. And there it was. I did it. It works perfectly. Thank you!
Joyanne Amisano I do my chicken with my food Processor , works great
Do I use Mom’s cooking things? Yes, I have a 8” square metal pan with a slide-on metal lid, to bake brownies in, that my Mom bought in the sixties. I can’t hardly bake them in anything else. I also have a wood tray my Grandpa made for Grandma for serving crackers on chili con carne night. My Mom had some little brown melamine bowls that I still eat my Cheerios out of. When I touch these things, it brings back sweet memories. Thanks for the dumpling demonstration...I’m going to make some while we’re camping this weekend. I expect I’d better make plenty, because our neighbor campers will probably want some if it smells as delicious as it looks!
Love this video! Funny, informative, and reminds me of my Mama and Grandma when they cooked and baked.
She is simply delightful! I love her accent and her good ole southern charm. I know that chicken and dumplings made you wanna slap ya mama!
I love this channel. I learned how to cook from my grandmother and she was from north Carolina
I wish I had smell-a-vision! Thanks for the fun video and the awesome mixer trick. I have kitchen cabinets and drawers full of bowls and cups and tools from my mom and my aunts and some items that were my grandma's. I love all that "vintage" stuff and I use it everyday when cooking or baking.
This is the first time I have ever seen dumplings made without eggs. I didn't even know it was something that people do. I can't wait to try this and see how it goes. Thanks again for sharing and taking us into your kitchen with you. 😊 ❤️
Love you and your Dumplings great job! Looks like the ones my Grandma made! Good job Robbie! Keep the old Fashion Recipes coming love em!
OH MY GRACIOUS GIRL YOU ARE SOMETHING ELSE!!! LOVE THIS LADY!! I love how you have the bowl
In the south we normally don't put any of that in there
@@rhena97 My Grannie ALWAYS used buttermilk and Crisco, my mother-in-law just uses flour, milk or water, and that's it... very bland but GREAT with butter... Some people were just too poor to afford buttermilk, butter, milk, etc
Great recipe. I had never made chicken and dumplings before. Your recipe was so easy. Loved the mixer trick. Both my neighbors said it was wonderful. Thanks
That's exactly what I do with canned green beans...I always dump out the liquid and rinse the beans in the can and then cook them in fresh cold water...always makes them taste like they were fresh...and of course fatback or bacon grease. I miss the little farm that my late hubby and I had...we raised our own chickens and the taste of the chicken and dumplings were so much better...can't get that with store bought, but since that's all I can get now, that's what I use. Your chicken breast way is really better and healthier too...so, I am gonna give it a try too. I wish I had some of my Grandmother's kitchen stuff...all I have is a yellow melamine creamer that I keep in my flour container, from my mom. I have both of my Grandmother's white church gloves though...I love them. When I make mine...I just drop mine by teaspoon...I think I need to try your way, now that I see what you are doing. That sure does look good and I can almost smell it from here...lol Loved your video...thanks so much for your recipe too and the time it took you to make it and upload it here for all of us to share too. God Bless you and your family...💖🙏💖
I think your camera man does just fine, and we all wish we could have bit of that yummy dinner...thanks for sharing :)
I'm from Jacksonville NC. I just made chicken 'N' dumplings tonight for dinner. I also add rice to mine, yummy!!
I was just scrolling through UA-cam looking for The best ways to make chicken and dumplings I swear I just love you you sound so happy I love your accent god bless you
Your chicken and dumplings look good. You are the 2nd person I've seen using a mixer to shred chicken. That is a great idea............. I make dumplings from scratch but when I want to take a shortcut I buy canned biscuits and cut them into pieces and use them instead. The canned biscuits are great in pea dumplings too. ..... The canning process is what preserves the green beans. There are no added preservatives in that brand of green beans. Aside from the green beans the only other things in the can are water and salt. If you need to watch your salt intake, draining them is a good idea BUT you are also dumping the nutrients that leach into the water during the canning process. To get the nutrients you need to consume the liquid too. These aren't really any different than what you'd can at home except for the fact that they are in a can vs a jar.
You got this Bookie, I got this. So cute!
For those of you who may be wondering how much shortening she scooped out of the container, she scooped out about 11/4 cups worth.
I love you mentioned Dollar General, when I managed them as soon as I started stocking the spices I would always grab up a case of each. I live to cook, they are great and I cook a lot.
About how long do the dumplings have to boil?
Cynthia Piercy I would say 5-10 minutes. Make sure you stir well
Adding chicken broth for dumplings is the key that makes them good. I do old way rolling them out. Good video.
My first time watching. You had me laughing and took me back to my childhood

You're so right!!! I'm 5th generation and have kitchen stuff still in use. You know the phrase "she who dies with the most kitchen gadgets wins?"
Well, that's me. Metal measuring containers have indentation marks so they don't rub off like the glass containers do.
Oh my goodness! My former Mother-in-law makes the BEST chicken & dumplings and this looks just like hers! I am so hungry for some now and you’ve given me the courage to try to make a big pot of them now. Thank you! 😊
Susan, please let me know how they turn out!
Hello from New Zealand! Awesome video,love your humor!
