Fried Pheasant And Waffles Food

FRIED PHEASANT AND WAFFLES WITH SPICY MISO SYRUP

Steps:

• Combine all the dry ingredients into a medium mixing bowl.
• In a small bowl pour the buttermilk and oil. Stir the melted butter into the cold buttermilk. This will create small pockets of butter. Stir in the egg and vanilla.
• Pour the wet into the dry. Mix well.
• Make your waffles. I used a Scandinavian heart-shaped waffle iron because it works better than our other.
• Heat your corn oil* in a dutch oven over medium heat. Add enough oil to shallow fry the pheasant. Bring the corn oil up 350°
• Combine the flour, salt and spices in a small bowl. Mix well.
• Combine the buttermilk and egg to make a bath for the cuts of pheasant in a shallow bowl.
• Take the first to pieces and soak them in the buttermilk bath. Then coat the pieces in the flour mixture. Shake off the extra. Place in the hot oil and cook each side until golden brown. Avoid overcooking the pheasant.
• Place on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. Then dig in.
• Serve with Waffles, Spicy Miso Maple Syrup and Spicy Pickles.
• Combine all ingredients.
• Pour over your Pheasant & Waffles topped with spicy pickles.

FRIED PHEASANT AND WAFFLES

Steps:

• Cut the breasts into two strips lengthwise. Soak them in buttermilk for 2 hours or overnight. This allows the acid to tenderize the meat.
• For the waffles, pour the milk, butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla into a saucepan. Place the saucepan on medium-low heat until the mixture reaches 110 degrees. When temperature is reached, remove batter from heat and mix in the yeast. Let yeast activate for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture starts to foam.
• When the yeast is activated, transfer the batter to a mixing bowl and whisk in the flour and salt. When the flour is fully incorporated into the liquid, cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 1 to 2 hours. This allows the gluten to develop.
• When the batter is ready and bubbly, pour it into a waffle iron. Follow your waffle maker's directions (mine calls for one cup of batter per waffle). The batter will be thick and gummy, so try your best to distribute evenly. Cook until golden brown.
• Mix all the dry ingredients for the pheasant into a shallow dish and whisk together thoroughly. Place dripping wet pieces of pheasant into the flour mixture. Firmly press the mixture into the meat. This will make sure a good layer of batter coats the meat and gives it a proper crust. Carefully drop fillets into 350-degree oil for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
• Coordinate cooking waffles and strips simultaneously. Serve warm waffles with two strips of fried pheasant on top of each. Add a dollop of butter and cover in warm maple syrup.

FRIED CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

Steps:

• For the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, zest and paprika. Sprinkle the breasts evenly with the mixture on all sides, rubbing the mixture into the chicken gently. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Poke a few holes in the top so that air can circulate around the chicken. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Heat a 10-inch, straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the oil so it comes 1 inch up the side. Heat the oil until it reaches 325 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
• In a shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, remaining salt and the black pepper. Dredge each breast in the dry mixture, making sure each piece is covered well with the mixture. Place each piece of chicken in the hot oil, letting it fall away from you, as to not splash yourself with hot oil. Fry the chicken for 10 minutes on the first side. Gently flip each piece of chicken and continue cooking on the other side until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 more minutes. Remove the chicken from the oil and allow it to drain for 5 minutes on a paper-towel-lined plate.
• For the waffles: Preheat a standard waffle iron. With a whisk, mix together the waffle mix, 1 1/2 cups water, the vegetable oil and cinnamon until smooth. Lightly spray the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Ladle approximately 3/4 cup of the batter into the iron and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the waffle to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
• Serve the chicken and waffles hot, with maple syrup and butter.
