1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 cup beer
1 egg
1/2 cup finely crushed pretzels
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 slices bacon, cooked crisp, crumbled
3 tablespoons minced, fresh parsley
1 chicken cut in serving pieces
In a mixing bowl combine flour, paprika, salt, ginger and
pepper. Add beer and egg; beat with a hand beater to make
smooth batter. Mix crushed pretzels, Parmesan cheese,
bacon and parsley in a large plastic bag. Dip chicken
pieces one a time in batter; then place in bag with pretzel
mix and shake to coat. Place coated chicken pieces in
shallow baking pan, skin side up. Bake, covered, at 350oF
for 30 minutes. Remove cover. Continue baking, uncovered,
about 30 minutes longer or until chicken is cooked through.
CAPITAL CHICKEN Serves 4
This is rather highly seasoned dish. Your family might
prefer it with a little less ginger--but then again, maybe
they'll love it this strong.
1 chicken, cut in serving pieces
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon flour
