  • A Feeble Attempt at Scott's Fritters....

    Well to start off, I started this whole thing in damage control. I saw a recipe and due to household activities, we figured we'd give it a try. So, that part was chicken breast, some salsa and some balsamic in the crock pot for 6 hours on low. The plan was to use it on buns, burritos, or tacos. Well, it tasted good but way too mushy/terrible texture and didn't work in any of those configurations. Short story, I had all this soggy shredded chicken and nothing to do with it.

    Then, hey, Fishawn/Scott had a great recipe for shredded chicken I wanted to try. Let's see what I can do I told myself. So, fist thing was I drained as much of the juice out of the original meal. Still very mushy so I added a couple of eggs figuring it would help in binding them. Also added some diced jalapenos, some diced garlic and panko bread crumbs to get the consistency I wanted.

    So, just like any kind of poultry burger, very sticky and still more fragile that I would like but I pressed on. Heated up some butter and olive oil in the CI and went to work. Well, I was no where close to fritters as you've probably guessed but I was into the chicken burger.



    I made the rest of what I had leftover and tried to make the best out of it.



    They look burned but there wasn't any burned taste to them. Still very tender and fragile though. I made some slaw, sliced up some jalapenos and toasted some hamburger buns.



    At the end of the day, way TOO much work, they were just OK, and I have failed at making fritters. They can't all be successes but I guess that's why we keep on trying.

    As for Scott, I'll get this down and just figure I need to use shredded chicken in the traditional sense. That still looks and sounds great. My attempt at a save, not so good

    hey man, sometimes trying is enough to get you to tomorrow. I have failed at plenty of things in life but the sun always rises until you die, and then some. keep on keeping on. one day you will make a fritter!

      could have been worse - could have gone into the bin :-)
      for perseverance.

      Now what on earth were you doing adding two lots of acid to chicken breast (salsa is pretty acidic) and cooking it for 6 hours !
      It's chicken breast, the wimpiest meat yet discovered. 30 minutes would probably have been more than enough.
      Surprised you got anything out of it at all

        Thanks, it was all good in the effort but I know we tend to post our successes and not the stuff that didn't work out so well. So, I wanted to show that things don't always work as expected.

        Just trying to make a point I guess.

        I tell my kids, if you aren't making mistakes, you aren't trying hard enough. If you make the same mistake twice, you aren't learning.

        I leaned something on this one

              Keep after it. I like the addition of the jalapeños, might have to try that tonight, because it looks like I'm making them again

                    Thanks,

                    I figure I'm going to try a rotisserie meatloaf next weekend. I figure butchers twine is the key.

                    Wish me luck!

                      I think I used about 40 yards of twine and it didn't help...

                      It seems ICE has been thinking it over and has a plan...

                      But I think I'm over the roto-loaf gig...Onto bigger and (better) things
