Star Trek Dohlman Chicken (Crisp Fried Chicken)


When this was served on the Enterprise, it was served with finger bowls and napkins. But I have it on good authority that in the Dohlman's castle on Elas, there were rushes on the floor, and huge, furry, black dogs ambling about the dining hall, which were used as walking napkins. This recipe serves 8 people.

What you need:
16 serving-sized chicken pieces (2 per person—thighs, drumsticks or breasts, but not wings)
2 cups cooking oil
Flour
2 or 3 eggs (1 beaten egg coats about 5 or 6 pieces of chicken)
Seasoned bread crumbs (see directions below)
Honey for dipping the fried chicken: 1 or 2 tablespoons per person, or 1/2 to
1 cup in all

UTENSILS:
2-quart saucepan, no more than 7 inches in diameter
3 small bowls for coating the chicken pieces Meat grinder


Put the chicken pieces in the saucepan, cover with water and bring to a
boil. Simmer gently for 30 minutes, then remove from the heat.

Strain the liquid into a bowl or jar to use later where chicken broth or
stock is required.

Spread the pieces of chicken out on several thicknesses of paper towels, or
a clean terry cloth, to drain. Strain any remaining liquid into the bowl or
jar.

Wash and dry the pan, pour in the oil and heat to about 375°F.

Put about 1 cup of flour in one bowl, beat 1 egg in another and put about
1/2* cup of seasoned bread crumbs in the third. Replenish each as needed.

For seasoned bread crumbs, take 1 cup dry bread crumbs (run dry pieces of
bread through meat grinder), 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon poultry
seasoning 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.

Mix it all together thoroughly, and use. Store any extra in a covered jar.
Coat each piece of chicken with flour, then with beaten egg and finally with
seasoned bread crumbs.

Fry 3 or 4 pieces at a time, about 5 minutes to a side, until they are
golden brown. If the pieces brown too fast, turn the heat down.

Set at each place a custard cup with 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey in it

Dohlman Chicken should be served with French-fried potatoes, French fried
onion rings, carrot and celery sticks, pickles, and olives—and no. utensils.


AM eating should be done by hand, and all drinks should be served in their
bottles.
