My hubby, who has passed and myself, love chicken and dumplings. He would have enjoyed these as much as i do. I just love watching you and your wife and your videos.
Sitting here enjoying my first bowl of dumplins after following this tutorial. Almost 50 years old, my wife and I have never made dumplins this delicious. Thank you Mr. Tidwell!
Mr. Tidwell - Me and my dad watched this video numerous times. I made them today for Easter lunch and they were the biggest hit. We'll save and use this recipe for the rest of our lives. The Jones family thanks you! Wonderful video by the way! God bless you, Kyra
I've been making these for awhile per Mr. Tidwell's instructions and they are the best chicken and dumplings I've ever eaten. The reason I'm here at the moment is that I'm making them for supper tonight at the request of my youngest son who describes them as his favorite food on the planet.
Thank you Mr. Tidwell. I followed your instructions to the letter and produced the best tasting chicken and dumplings I've ever eaten. My wife and kids also send a hearty "thank you!"
I'm SOOO happy I seen you on Nashville Today. I just bought a whole chicken and try yet again to make some dumplins! I think you are my new favorite person!! Thank you for the lesson!! Be blessed..
Hoyt, it’s Nannette. I just made another pot of your chicken and dumplings! I’m definitely hooked now!! They are absolutely delicious ! I LOVE using your famous dough roller & biscuit cutter !!! Oh my goodness!!!! How did I ever live without them?!! Everyone needs them in their lives too!!! 💙💙💙
Dear Hoyt, Thank you for sharing this wonderful 'Ole Timey" recipe with the world. One of my favorite memories was helping my Granny Jeff make her homemade dumplings. She would cut hers into 1 inch strips about 6 -8 inches long. Then she would put her broom between two chairs and hang her dumplings over the broom stick until they dried out. Then she would cook them in a rolling broth. Can't wait to eat these for supper tonight with my hubby! They are simmering right now! Yum!! YUM!!
WOW what a teacher. I LOVED watching this video. My grandson is 15 and loves chicken & dumplings so I will have him watch this over the weekend and we will follow Hoyt's instructions. Pass the teaching along. Also will be great for my grandson to see a Man who can cook and also clean up his mess. This was a WONDERFUL video and I can't wait for more to come. Have a WONDERFUL Day! Thank you Hoyt and camera crew.
This is the first recipe I made of Mr. Hoyt’s and it is delicious. My mom doesn’t like chicken and dumplings but she eats these like there’s no tomorrow! God Bless you sir thank you for sharing your recipes with the world!
I’m not a cook like Mr. Tidwell but I do cook and I love it and his show has really inspired me and I have loved his products and his cookbooks I have ordered from him I also have his habit of washing my hands consistently and cleaning up while my food cooks I hate to clean up later cause then later never comes so I get it while I’m going
Hello Mr. Tidwell, I made these chicken and dumplings following your recipe and method. They honestly were the best I have ever made. At first, I wasn’t sure about the egg being in the dumpling and thought the method worked them to much. I was wrong, so glad I tried this. I won’t make them any different in the future. Thank you for sharing. God Bless
Mr. Tidwell, you and I have been making your chicken and dumplings together for the past few years now. By now, I’m sure I could make them on my own without listening to you teaching me in the background but you have become my favorite part of the process :) A nice bonus is that your (and now my) dumplings are always a hit with anyone that eats them!
Ill be making these but not roll my dough out that thin cause I like my dumplings and little thick and I add a little yellow food coloring for color at beginning before I drop dumplings in but like the way you roll your dumplings out and I'm sure their delicious
I just love this recipe. I got a farm fresh chicken thawing and I re-watched this video to make sure I do it right. Everybody loves them when I make them. This recipe is a blessing to me!
I finally made these and they were fantastic! Everyone asked me where I learned and I said from Hoyt Tidwell. They said oh my lord they are so good! Thanks Hoyt we love you man!
I just saw Hoyt on the Mike Huckabee show!😁 The chicken and dumplings look sooo good and I'm excited about making this myself. The cookbooks he has would make great Christmas gifts too😉 Hoyt reminds me of my dad, a good simple man from the country.😊 I'll be searching for more of his recipes here on RUclips. Thanks!😚
I can’t tell you how many times I have cooked right along with this video! It had been so hard to find a good recipe that regular people could accomplish, and you made it easy! Thank you, Mr. Tidwell, for teaching us all how to make the best dumplin’s!!
Thank you for posting, Hoyt. I followed your instructions and had dumpling success! I've never been able to make good ones til now! A big thank you from Sand Rock, Alabama!
I just ordered 3 of your cookbooks. 2 for me and 1 for my daughter. Can't wait to get them. Thank you for your videos. I joined your Facebook page too.
My family now thinks im the chicken and dumplings queen..they always want them..i have made these at least 12 times all 12 times they turned out perfect...thank you
I made these tonight and they were delicious. I know he said don’t stir the dumplings with a spoon. I shook the pot as he did but I had trouble with them sticking a little bit. I think in the beginning I should have turned them down to simmer. Otherwise still darn delicious! My Grandma’s recipe was just crisco, flour, and cold water. I think the egg gives it more texture. It will be my new go to for sure!
I just wanted to thank you for the dumpling recipe my grandma used to make these all the time but she passed in the early 80's and I have been trying to find her recipe for some time now and yours are just like I remembered hers to be so thanks for the memories
I've always wanted to make these but didn't know where to start. I just saw you on the Mike Huckabee Show and you made it look easier than I expected. You're so sweet. Do you think these will help me find a husband? haha.
Mine are cooking right now and they look like yours so I can’t wait to try them. Never could make dumplings so hope they turn out for me this time. I have the book with the recipe in it.
Hoyt Tidwell's Chicken & Dumplings recipe. (Written out while listening to the video.) (Feeds 12 - 16 people) BROTH: 3 Chicken breast 2 Chicken thighs 2 Chicken legs 2 wings 1 gal & 1 pint chicken broth 10 chicken bullion cubes Chicken thighs White pepper to taste DUMPLINGS: 3 cups self rising flour (Martha White) 1 cup water 1 egg 1/4 cup Crisco Boil the chicken and pick off the meat from the bone. Keep in the fridge until the dumplings are done. Use the broth for boiling the dumplings. Bring broth to a boil in a large 2 gallon pot. In a large mixing bowl, mix the dumpling ingredients with your hands to make a dough. Add more flour as needed to get the right consistency. The dough needs to be thick. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll into a loose ball with your hands. Press one ball onto a floured surface & roll it out flat and thin with a rolling pin or pastry roller. You should be able to see the working surface through the dough. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips about 3/4 inch wide. Then cut the other way to make 3/4 inch squares. When broth is at a rolling boil, add 1/2 of the dough that's already been cut to the broth, and shake the pot. Don't use a spoon to stir. Add white pepper. As you begin rolling the next dough ball, keep an eye on the broth & shake the pot occasionally. As it comes back to a boil, add more dumplings; shake the pot each time you add more dumplings. Repeat this process of rolling, cutting, shaking and adding dumplings until all the dough has been made into dumplings and added to the pot. Turn the heat down to med low and cover, and let them simmer about 45 more minutes before adding in the chicken. Tip: These will thicken up over time. Eating them right away, they will be thin and soupy. Make them earlier in the day & let them sit covered on low to thicken.
Is the broth from the chicken you cooked first, and how long do you boil it? Do you skim the fat off the top after its cooked, and then add the bullion cubes? I'm from up North in New England (Mass.), but live in Florida now, and we never cooked these. I want to try and make these because they look so good. Also If you could show your recipes when done, and you tasting them that would be great! A lot of videos I see from people show them trying their recipe when its done which I love to see.
I tried your recipe and they were good but being the southern girl that I am, I prefer my granny's . Still it is nice to try other versions and my family did enjoy your recipe. Thanks
My hubby, who has passed and myself, love chicken and dumplings. He would have enjoyed these as much as i do. I just love watching you and your wife and your videos.
I am so sorry for your loss. 😢

Thank you!!!
I'm gonna try your dumplings! My husband loved egg noodles but my son loves dumplings.
I have a few days off from work. Im going tomorrow to get a chicken at the Amish and make dumplings. Love your videos.
This video is awesome. Now maybe I can make a delicious bowl for us.
nice thanks for sharing
DELICIOUS!
I think he’s done this a time or two!!
I like to use plain flour. Also add a can of evaporated milk at the end.
PLEASE make more videos!!!
please make something else I need help with yeast rolls but we love Hoyt

Hoyt. I love you technique. I shook as you directed. But mine started sticking to the bottom. How do I prevent this?
Kelli Cook and it needs to be boiling
Did you stir them at all?
Do y'all leave the skin on your picked chicken to add back to the pot?
Can you use broth instead of water and butter instead of crisco? Thanks
loopev yes you can
Also, I wondered why she said you shouldn't use a spoon????
Is Hoyt single?
I tried your recipe and they were good but being the southern girl that I am, I prefer my granny's . Still it is nice to try other versions and my family did enjoy your recipe. Thanks
Hey cara
Look's good if not great
I use a pizza cutter. Easy Peasy!!!!!
Is this his original charnel name?
Everyone makes the best...why no seasoning in the dumplings, just flour flavor? Try with some seasonings in them to make better.
