CHICKEN CORN DOGS

Steps:

• Toss the chicken strips with 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, the garlic powder and a big pinch of salt. Thread each strip onto an 8-inch skewer, making sure it is secure.
• Fill a medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot with 2 inches of vegetable oil. Heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 365 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, combine the cornmeal, flour, mustard powder, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, eggs, honey and vegetable oil in a small bowl. Whisk the milk mixture into the flour mixture until smooth. Pour some into a tall glass for dipping.
• Spoon some flour onto a plate. Working in batches, hold the chicken by the skewers and lightly coat in the flour, tapping off any excess. Dip the skewers into the batter to coat, letting the excess drip off. (If the batter becomes too thick, stir in a bit of water.) Add the coated chicken to the hot oil, skewers and all, and fry, turning with tongs, until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to paper towels to drain; let the oil return to 365 degrees F before frying the next batch.
• Lightly sprinkle the chicken with salt while hot. Serve with mustard.

CHICKEN WITH CORNICHON SAUCE

Steps:

• Boil cream until thick and reduced to 3/4 cup, about 20 minutes.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper, saute in butter 3-4 minutes per side, remove and keep warm.
• Add chicken broth to skillet and boil until reduced to 1/4 cup.
• Add pickles, cream and mustard and reheat without boiling.
• Add tarragon, parsley and chives, return chicken to the pan just long enough to heat through, turn to coat with sauce and serve.

CORNISH HENS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place the sliced onion in the bottom of a roasting pan. Remove the giblets from the hens, and rinse them inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pinfeathers and pat the outsides dry. Place the hens on top of the sliced onion.
• Pack the cavities of the hens with the cornbread stuffing.
• Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the hens. Rub the hens with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Roast the hens for 30 minutes, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh.
• Melt the butter in a large saute pan. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes over medium-low heat, until translucent. Break the cornbread into pieces and place the pieces in a large bowl. Add the onion mixture to the cornbread. Add the celery, chicken stock, parsley, salt and pepper, and mix together.
• Yield: 2 servings

CORNELL CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the cider vinegar, oil, egg, salt, poultry seasoning, and black pepper in a blender. Cover, and puree until smooth.
• Pour blended mixture into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken halves, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (up to overnight).
• Remove chicken halves from bag and transfer to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels. Pat chicken dry with more paper towels. Reserve marinade mixture.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill chicken, skin-side down, on the preheated grill for 2 minutes. Turn each piece, brush with marinade mixture, and move to indirect heat.
• Grill, brushing with glaze and turning often, until well-browned and meat is no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).

PORK CHOPS WITH MUSTARD-CORNICHON SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in each of 2 heavy large skillets over medium heat. Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper. Add 3 chops to each skillet and sauté until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Cover skillets and cook until thermometer inserted into center of chops registers 145°F, about 9 minutes. Transfer chops to warm platter; tent with foil to keep warm.
• Add half of water, shallot, and garlic to each skillet. Cook until shallot is soft, scraping up any browned bits, about 2 minutes. Add any juices from chops. Whisk in cornichons and mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over chops. Sprinkle chops with parsley.
• *Cornichons are tiny brine-packed French pickles, available at specialty foods stores and some supermarkets.

MONIQUE'S CORNICHONS

Steps:

• In a large bowl toss the cornichons with the salt. Turn them out into a tea towel, gather the towel by the four corners and hang it from the faucet over the sink, for 2 hours. Alternatively, set the cornichons in their towel in a strainer in the sink.
• Place the tarragon in a quart jar, then evenly layer the cornichons with the garlic, onions, and the other herbs, until they reach about 1/2-inch below the top of the jar. Bring the vinegar to a boil and pour it over the ingredients in the jar, making sure to cover them, and leaving about 1/2-inch headroom in the jar. Seal the jar, and place it in a cool, dark spot for three weeks, before opening.
