Fried Chicken, Onion Rings and Potato Wedges with House Autry Mills Chicken Breader


House-Autry Mills is a line of traditionally-seasoned breaders and coatings for chicken, seafood, pork, and other things (like vegetables). There's also hushpuppies, and biscuit and cornbread mixes, Sauces, and their Southern Baked product line.

 All of their coatings are specially milled and mixed to cook up light, crispy, and tasty. That's one reason several of their products, such as their hushpuppy mix, are the best-selling brands in the entire country.

 

I recently tried House Autry's Chicken Breader and this breader makes wonderful fried chicken and is very simple to use.

 
Start by washing the chicken, then coat it with House Autry's Chicken Breader
 

Heat oil in frying pan and add coated chicken pieces.
I use peanut oil in a deep iron skillet. Peanut oil gives a great flavor to fried foods. Turn the pieces of chicken occasionally. 
Tip: Getting the oil at the right temperature is a big factor in cooking great fried chicken.  Wait until the oil is sizzling before adding the coated chicken to the oil, this will give it a nice crispy coating and helps to seal in the juices.  

 
Fry at a medium to medium high temperature being careful that the oil is not too hot. Turn the pieces over several times during the cooking process, being careful not to overcook or scorch. Cook the chicken until it is thoroughly done and if you have a meat thermometer, use it to test the internal temperature to ensure that it is done.
 


I used some of the House Autry's Chicken breader to make onion rings.  I started by peeling the onions then slicing, then separating them into rings. 
 

I dipped the rings in buttermilk and then coated them with the breader.

 
Then fried the onion rings in peanut oil.
 
This breader works great for making potato wedges too!
To make potato wedges, wash and scrub the potatoes well, and bake them about half way to 3/4 of the way done in the microwave.  (You can also bake them in the oven, but the microwave is much faster). Do not cook them completely done. (They will finish cooking when they are battered and fried. Cut the partially cooked potatoes into 1/4 wedges, dip in buttermilk, then in the breader and fry in the peanut oil until they are done.

Our supper was delicious and using this breader for making onion rings and potato wedges turned out great.  I recommend House Autry Mills breaders, coatings and mixes and when you try them be creative with these versatile breaders!

Tweez'em Stainless Steel Precision Tweezers by Majestic Bombay

 

 

These tweezers by "Majestic Bombay" include a plastic protective pouch and plastic tip-guard as shown in the photo. 

They are made of stainless steel, have pointed ends and are very sharp.  They are precise, and great for removing splinters, ingrown hairs and more. 

Using the pointed tip style took a little getting used too for me but I do like these tweezers and they come in handy quite often.

Gurin Professional Rechargeable Flosser with High Capacity Water Tank


Gurin Professional Rechargeable Flosser with High Capacity Water Tank

 

The Gurin Professional Rechargeable Flosser comes with high quality rechargeable batteries that are powerful and hold a great charge.  Upon receiving my Gurin flosser I plugged it into a wall unit and allowed it to fully charge.  It is very simple to charge this flosser with the included plug.  The rechargeable batteries are built into the unit and the included cord plugs into the front of the flosser at the bottom and the other end into a standard plug.  A light comes on and blinks on the front of the flosser when it is in the charging mode.  Once charged, unplug the charger cord from the outlet and the flosser.  It is now ready to use and no cords are in the way.

 

This flosser features an extra large 16.9 oz removable reservoir and is easy to fill.  It can also be filled without removing the reservoir simply by lifting the easy access lid located just behind the nozzle.  This is my preferred way to fill the flosser by holding it under running water from the faucet.  Since my teeth are a bit sensitive, I use warm water to fill my flosser. I also add a bit of mouthwash into the water reservoir as well.  The Gurin flosser has 3 settings: Normal, Soft and Pulse. 

 

I learned very early on when using my flosser, that I need to select that setting first before turning on the power button.  The first time I used it I turned on the unit without it being in my mouth and then tried to select the setting....lol.  The mirror, the wall and I got sprayed pretty good before I could push the power button again to turn the unit off.  This flosser definitely has a lot of water pressure! 

 

When I tried it again, I chose the setting first, then put the nozzle in my mouth, then turned on the power.  It works wonderfully!  Now that I learned how to use it correctly, nothing gets sprayed with water except my teeth.  This is so much faster, easier and thoroughly cleansing than using regular floss and the proof can be seen by paying attention to what comes out in the sink while using this water flosser. 
It is surprising what can be left behind in your mouth that string flossing can miss or can't reach that this water flosser tackles with no problem and in a hurry. 

 

Included with the flosser are 2 color coded interchangeable nozzles so the unit can be used by more than one person.  I certainly appreciate how well this flosser works and how much cleaner and healthier my teeth look and feel.  I do recommend this product for dental hygiene and care.
