I wasn't going to post...I was going to wait until tomorrow and be like no they don't need to see my disasters they don't need to see my failures, but this is real and disasters are real and people need to see when something fails. It wasn't the recipe that failed just my own inability to think and being tired. Because honestly this is one of my husband's favorite recipes. I say ranch chicken and he starts drooling.
See what happened was I used chicken that was no longer good. I smelled it before I put it in the dredge and it smelled fine...it looked fine...nice and pink and squishy just like nasty raw chicken should be. About 15 minutes before it was done it started oozing this dark red almost black 'blood substance' and my husband covers his mouth and goes no baby that's bad that's salmonella...sooooo we didn't eat it.
I will still post the recipe as if I had used good chicken and had actually eaten it.
This is the dredge that I used for my chicken...the items in the unmarked containers are garlic salt and cayenne pepper...the vegetable oil is for greasing the 9x13 that you will put your chicken in to bake. It smelled really good and I wish we could've eaten it. If I were to give measurements I would say 1/2 c or less on the crumbs/cheese and just eyeball for the small things and the whole ranch packet.
This is what it looks like after you get the raw chicken dredged and in the 9x13. I used chicken legs, but next time I will use those thinly sliced chicken breasts or any chicken breasts or any chicken tenders or ANYTHING OTHER THAN CHICKEN LEGS THAT I THOUGHT WERE STILL GOOD!!
What I would've served it with had it been a success...although me having to multi-task I already had the potatoes done and the green beans done...so we will be taking them to work tomorrow to eat with our pb&j's since there was no leftover chicken...should be deeeee-lightful.
Thanks for reading...checking out! :)
