Thursday I smoked 2 whole chickens and then made broth.
Today (Saturday) I made chicken and dumplings with some of the left over chicken and all the broth.
It was excellent, and well received from the family. All gone and no pictures. Way better than Cracker Barrel was the compliment I got from my 9 and 11 year old and the wife agreed. Of course, my 14 year old reminded me she wants to go vegan because she doesn't like meat, haha, she had two bowls.
Now to the question part, is there any thing you do to improve.... I mean chicken and dumplings is pretty darn simply and good, and I am already smoking the chicken. Anything else I can do to elevate.
I'm puling the dumpling recipe from a flat dumpling off the internet. just flour cut into butter, baking soda, and milk. Would and egg or buttermilk add anything? Anything else you do to boost or "gourmet" dumplings.?
I think dumplings are going to become a biweekly meal. But I am going to have to up my once a week smoked chicken from 2 to 5 or 6 as I already due pot pies, enchiladas, korma/tikka marsla/butter/stir fry, and sometimes white chili with the leftovers on a regular basis.
