Fried Chicken in the Oven, Really!

You can fry chicken in the oven..really!  Not breaded and placed on a baking sheet.  But in a chicken fryer/dutch oven and with oil in the pan.  Not much, mind you, but enough to fry chicken.  I just finished frying mine and Oh My, it was sooo good!  It reminded me of eating Kentucky Fried Chicken!

I saw this at Christy Jordan's Southern Plate.  I just love Christy, don't you?  Hey Christy!  ~waving hard~  She said you need to check your oven temperature and you do!  If you oil isn't hot enough you will end up with greasy chicken.  You know how that goes.  Yes, just like it does on the stove.  I have done that a time or two.  I changed things a little...like I always do.  ~smile~   I could only good cook a half a chicken at the time.  If you are cooking a whole chicken, you will need two chicken fryers/dutch ovens or cook in batches.  Are you ready to make Fried Chicken in the Oven?  Great!  Save me the pulley bone!  ~wink~

Lemon Thyme Parmesan Egg"plant" Noodles

If you like egg noodles, you will love this recipe!  It reminds me of soft egg noodles that have been cooked and have been sitting in a pot.   Like at a family reunion, on the stove, just waiting for you but you have to catch up on the latest from relatives you haven't seen in many years.   The soft flavorful noodles are beckoning you and you so want to go over and get a big spoonful, because you can...you're at a family reunion. and you can eat anything you want...today.  Now, you can get the same comfort from these lovely, soft Lemon Thyme Parmesan Eggplant Noodles.  OH, you know what?  These would be wonderful minus the lemon juice and chicken broth added to flavor them.  Leave me a comment.... I'd like to know how you make them and what you think about these "Egg"plant Noodles.
