About

The first thing that comes to mind when we think of fried chicken is the shatteringly crisp, ultra-crunchy coating. But one serving of this American classic can with in at over 700 calories and 40 grams of fat. To lighten this dish, we ditched the deep-fryer and turned to the oven instead. In order to get that crunchy, craggy golden exterior, we tried everything from Melba toast crumbs to crushed potato and pita chips. To preserve the chicken’s crunchy coating, we baked it in a moderately hot oven, which also allowed the chicken to cook through perfectly in 40 minutes and remain moist and tender.

Creamy Chicken and Vegetable Soup

Chowder frequently means one thing: seafood (usually clams). However, for much of landlocked, rural America, chicken was the traditional choice for a creamy, chowder-like soup. The rest of the recipe (potatoes, cream, bacon) is the same, but the base is chicken stock and the creamy soup contains chunks of chicken meat as well as lots of vegetables. Many old-fashioned recipes for this American soup rely on potatoes to thicken the broth. We prefer to thicken the soup with a little flour added to the pot just before the stock. The flour is cooked briefly in the pot with the sautéed onion, garlic, and thyme to remove its raw flavor. We still add potatoes to make the soup hearty, opting for Yukon Gold potatoes because they hold their shape well. We like carrot and red bell pepper but this recipe could accommodate almost any fresh vegetable. A cup of cream added to the nearly finished soup provides the requisite silky texture and richness. Once the chowder is done, it should be served immediately. But this course will also teach you how to make components of the dish ahead of time.

Bakery-Style Pastries

Butter, flour, sugar: the ingredient list for the flaky pastries you see in bakery cases is often very short, but many home bakers are intimidated by the process of preparing these pastry recipes at home. The layered structure that characterizes pastries such as croissants, kouign amann, and other similar pastries is formed through a process called lamination. What is lamination? The method can vary slightly depending on the recipe and the pastry you're making, but generally lamination happens when a lean yeasted dough is wrapped around a block of butter. The package is rolled out and folded repeatedly to form paper-thin layers of dough separated by even thinner layers of butter. As the pastry bakes, the steam separates the layers, creating rise. The result is a flaky, buttery pastry that almost melts in your mouth. In this online course, you'll learn all about lamination and other key pastry techniques, as well as how to make croissants, kouign amann, and palmiers at home. These pastry recipes take some patience, but the delicious result is worth it.
