Ono Juicy Fried Chicken
Added on Mar 11, 2026
5# chicken thighs
2 & 1/2cups all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
2 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried basil
1 & 1/2 cup whole milk or buttermilk
2 tsp. dill weed
3 sticks Crisco shortening or vegetable oil

In a large bowl you’re going to soak the chicken thighs in the milk and dill weed for at least an hour before frying, or you can soak overnight. In a gallon size Ziploc bag, combine in the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried basil. Mix until well combine and set on the side. When you're ready to cook the chicken, heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan, on med-high heat. When the oil is hot and sizzling, take the chicken out of the milk one by one and roll it into your flour mixture and fry at least 5-8 minutes on each side or until nice and golden brown. Also be sure to cut a small slice into the chicken to check if there is no blood in the middle and is cooked through. When done cooking, places on a paper towel covered plate to soak up oil. Enjoy with favorite sides. ONO!

Shrimp Scampi
Added on Mar 10, 2026
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, 16-20 count, peeled and deveined, tails on or off
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
1/2 cup dry white wine, like Sauvignon Blanc or low-sodium chicken broth
1 & 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice, plus wedges for serving
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Pat dry and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Next, seat 1 tbsp. olive oil and 1 tbsp. butter in a large non-reactive skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook 1-2 minutes per side until just opaque and cooked through. Remove to a plate immediately so they don’t overcook. Now, lower heat to medium. Add remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add wine and simmer 2 minutes until reduced by half. Stir in lemon juice. Return shrimp to the skillet along with any juices on the plate and toss to coat in sauce. Remove from heat, stir in parsley. Taste and add more salt and pepper to taste. Spoon over pasta or serve with crusty bread for dipping. Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over the top.
