My grandmother would not explain everything she was not one to want kids around unless we were washing dishes and cleaning up the mess she made.. but i would watch everything she did... But my wonderful Aunt took the time to teach me everything she could and let me do it with her help until i could do it by myself.. I make mine this way .. love the video thank you just found your channel can't wait to see more videos.. have a great New Year
Just ran across your video and wish I could have some time back, we were taught to cut up chicken in the same way, our mom was one of the best cook's in my opinion and she was one that made her chicken dumplings but she would put her ingredients in the bottom of roasting pan and then her homemade biscuits were placed onto the top of the chicken and vegetables etc.and would bake in the oven to make a nice comfort meal for her large family and whoever happened to be stopping in,it was like they could smell her cooking something amazing and came running, and we could have one or two of the biscuits that were baked on top with the chicken mixture scooped up along with the biscuit topping. The way you're doing your chicken and dumplings on the stove top is like a best friend of mine who passed away in 2024 had done and she would buy dumpling stripes from the grocery store and people were amazed at how delicious her chicken dumplings was and always asked for her to make more. Thanks for sharing and for all the wonderful memories that your videos brought to us, appreciate you sharing, may God continue to pour out His many blessings on you and your family and may you have many more happy healthy blessed years yet to come 😊❤😊
I am 72, but i haven't cut up a chicken in many years. If i buy a whole chicken, I roast it. So my chicken and dumplings are usually made from a rotisserie chicken. Thanks for the lesson
Thank you for showing the whole process! 🙏 I'm one of the young ones who needed to see the cutting of the chicken! Didn't really have no one to teach me. I'm self taught, learned by watching videos like this and Google. Honestly I dislike cooking mainly because I'm still learning, and I mess up A LOT!
I agree!! Cant stand doughy dumplings. They always seem mushy to me as well. As a short-cut if time constraints etc, you can buy frozen flat-dumplings in most stores. They do have a little coating of flour on them so it thickens the broth just fine. You do allow them to thaw a little bit (not fully) and can drop them easier if still a little frozen.
I'm 84 years old. I was born in Mississippi, but have lived in Arizona for over 50 years. my mother and grandmother made this recipe. I love your channel Thank you for this video I am pentecostel too. God bless you. This is my first time on your video, but I have subscribed for more.
From Sheila: my grandma born in 1905 rolled her dumplings like you. My mom born in 1935 dropped her dumplings. I'm going to have to say I like the drop dumplings better. Mom said that was the German way. Thanks for the great video! I'm a new subscriber!
Why do you wash your meats? When you cook meats to the right temperature the heat is going to kill any germs, salmonella, etc. The CDC recommends not washing meats it can contaminate surfaces and other foods. I’m almost 68 ( March 11) and have never washed any meats neither did my Mom or grandmother but to each their own if it makes you feel better👍
I always rinse my meats. Then I bleach the counter and sink after I’m done. And remove all towels I may have used. lol I blame my Homemaking teacher in high school. She drilled cross contamination in our heads.
@@BettyLShanI will forever wash any meat in MY kitchen. When you think about the processing plants, meat departments where meat is packaged you don’t know what yuckies!! CDC folks aren’t cleaning their surfaces!
I enjoyed watching your video. I'm going to try making dumplings like yours as I've always made the fluffy kind. I like your idea of adding the can of cream of chicken soup to fortify the broth.
Oh, Ms Betty, you've thrown a craving on me for chicken 'n dumplings, the best comfort food in the world. I use milk and egg yolk in mine and roll them out. Momma taught my sister and me how to make dumplings. Her mother taught her, and my grandmother's mother taught her. Bless you, Ms Betty, for sharing your recipe. I almost cried when you used the word wrenched for the word wash. My Momma would tell us girls to wrench the dishes after supper. Such sweet memories. Hmm, I'd certainly like to be at your supper table tonight. We would have a bit of cayenne pepper sprinkled on them after we plated our dumplings.
The pronunciation of "wrench" was for "rinse" and the pronunciation of ""warsh" was for "wash". We all knew what she meant. She used Cream of Chicken Soup with Herbs as her seasoning verses saulted onions, celery, carrots, peppers if desired, garlic and parsley, oregano, basil, rosemary and thyme. As she said, the flour from the dumplings thickened the broth. I generally boil the whole chicken which makes it easy to pick it from the bones. A lot of flavor in the broth comes from the bones. Great recipe. Great job washing your hands and using your cutting board only for the raw chicken. Please remember to clean your counter, sink and pots with hot soapy Chlorox water.
Ive cut up many chickens , now I dont , that can of Crisco brings back a lot of memories . Looks so good . New subscriber. I got the same rolling pen it was my precious moms
YT recommended your video. I live 9 plus hours away from my MaMa. She taught me how to divide a bird when I was about 8. Necessity because she had to work at night, bartending and waitressing, due to a really bad injury Dad had at work. Although I missed mama during this time, the lessons she taught have been a constant bedrock of my life. Listening to you reminded me of her. Thank you. I sent her your video. She watched it and called me giggling. " she sounds just like me"!
My dad taught me about 7-8 years old. I am left handed he was right. Always made me stand across from him so what I saw while looking at him I did with my left hand. A super way to teach. Helped not having to watch him do whatever a dozen times. He has since passed but was fantastic cook and took care of three little girls after my mother's Illness took her out of the home.😊
When I was a young bride, I got a whole fryer. I had no idea how to cut it up. I ended up cutting off the wings and legs. Then I threw away the rest. My granny had a fit later when I told her what I had done. She said, “Kathy Lynn! You threw away the best part of the chicken!”
I lost a lot of my mamas recipes thank you for sharing,I’m from Kentucky and country as cornbread so we eat cornbread with ours. We make ours with chicken breast and my mama also boiled chicken fat to make her broth richer .I use Swanson chicken Broth I also add yellow food color to make them prettier for a dinner parties or get togethers . Also do use self rising flour or all purpose to make your dumplings? I can’t remember what mama used ,I just remembered her making a little whole in her bowl of flour an added a handful of Crisco God Bless you ma’am. 🙏💙🙏💙🙏
I made chicken AB’s dumplings yesterday but cheated by using Grands biscuits. Will definitely use your recipe. I have a larger can of Crisco. It’s the best.
Hi Miss Betty, I just came across your video. And I am a 64 year old great grandmother and a trained cook . And I love a good pot of chicken and dumplings, I knew whenever you said Not to stir your dumplings that you knew exactly what you were doing here. Always Shake your pot of dumplings, and never stir, I am going to try your recipe for your dumplings, was that all purpose or self rising flour? Tysm!!! Happy new year!
Thanks for washing the chicken Mrs. Shan because most don’t, they just start cooking ❤so Mrs. Shan you don’t use any seasoning, just the can of cream of chicken right.
I do both. My husband loves chicken legs. So i would buy a 4 pack of legs and a 4 pack of thjghs. I would shred the thighs, take out bone and skin, leave the legs bone- in how he liked it, skinned of course. I also don't like the fat and skin left from boiling so strain my broth as well. When I boil I do add a little spice makes the meat and broth more flavorful. Salt and pepper the peices and add a teaspoon of curry powder and some parsley flakes to the water with the boil.
We call that chicken n slicks. After we cut the slicks we pop them in the freezer for about a half hour. Then we take them out and cook them in the boiling pot of broth. So yummy.
I’m new here. When I make chicken and dumplings, I have to make 16 quarts for family and friends. I do make my bone broth on a different day and freeze my broth, so it’s waiting for me. I start with 15 cups of flour.
My goodness. Is that your daughter recording for you? Not sure I would be steadfast enough to do this if my mama asked me to. She would be giggling, I would be giggling. Pretty darn sure brother and sister would be giggling. Just a dang family of gigglers! We are a family of southern gigglers. Happy, sad, nervous or mad....just giggle ourselves through it.
@@BettyLShan I pick the feathers and burn the edges of the wings. I wash everything, and when I am finished, I spray Clorox II on the counter, handles an sink.
I’m 67 and was never taught to cut up a chicken. My mom passes in my early 30’s but she was sick before that so a lot of things we never got to do together. 😢
I understand your house your rules but if you are putting out a video to be educational please forward USDA guidlines which say not to wash raw meat. Also you should never cut toward yourself as the knife could slip and cause injury.
