Stacy Lyn Makes Farmer’s Style Chicken on Atlanta and Co.

I loved making Farmer’s Style Chicken and Jalapeño Poppers on Atlanta & Company today! Christine Pullara, the host, is amazing.

I also got to talk about my new cookbook and how to make two of my favorite recipes from the book. In the process, I got to spend time with amazing people. I even got to meet the guys from OolaLife! They have a new book out too!

Free-range chickens tend to be a little tougher than factory-farm-raised chickens. That’s because they are allowed to forage for insects and walk around a lot. All that movement results in more muscle fiber and connective tissue.

However, you can tenderize free-range meats. A simple way to create tender meat with tons of flavor is to use a brine. It works every time! I give instructions for brining in this farmer’s style chicken recipe. Also see my tips on how to brine and cook a turkey perfectly.

The sauce that in which I simmer the meat is packed full of flavor. I use tomatoes, onions, garlic, rosemary, white wine (a chardonnay), a little broth, and thyme. You won’t know what happened when you taste this dish. Superb!

I hope this becomes a keeper in your home! Buy the bookFor the Jalapeño Poppers recipe click HERE.
