Zatarain's Fish Fry mix, on Chicken

Dinner tonight was fried chicken. The first fried food I have made in a long time, like maybe a year or more.

I had seen J. Frugal Mom R.'s post that she used the Zatarain's Fish Fry mixture for chicken, so I resloved to try the same.

We haven't had fried chicken in ages, but it sounded so good. So I bought skinless chicken breast strips (half the package for tonights dinner & half tomorrow for chicken pot pie). Rinsed them, coated them in the Zatarain's mixture & fried them in Safflower oil - very lightly as I don't do well with a lot of grease.

It turned out very well! The breading is very light on the meat & had a good flavor, not spicy. I actually added some of the creole seasoning to the chicken on my plate & loved it, as I like my foods to be a bit spicy most of the time.

I served the chicken with mashed potatoes, frozen corn & some biscuits. I wanted to make gravy, but wasn't sure how it would taste with the Zatarains seasoning in it - so I skipped it.

Sorry no pictures of this meal - but it was very good!

Janet, it was my favorite meal that my Mom would make - just love it!
Her's is better than mine, although I do know how to make it her way too

That sounds good. I had heard from other people that it was spicy. I don't like spicy. My husband and son do, though. I think he's going to cook it on fish. If he says it isn't spicy, I might try it on chicken. ;)

Thanks for the review

That is TOO funny! I decided not to get fresh fish to use this coating, as I didn't want to spend the money.

Now I know I can do chicken! Woo hoo!

It sounds like you've got a great meal Priscilla. These days I almost cannot eat anything greasy as the pregnancy gives me heart burn. The boys and my husband seemed to like the chicken though.

I've done that with my left over mix. I make the mix myself though. It's really good! :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I never fix fried chicken myself.
