14 Comments on Did you know??? Dipper's Nuggets Chicken started in Searcy Arkansas.....
What a nugget of a story. That was interesting especially the recipe clippings. I must admit I have never been a fan of chicken nuggets as found in KFC. The sauces in the recipe sound much more appealing.
I had no idea that Searcy had someone so famous in her history. Wow! I am so glad that you shared this with everyone. Luke likes the popcorn chicken at Sonic. Real chicken nuggets is better than the nuggest made of parts. Our crew doesn't mind taking the chicken breast and making strips or nuggets out of them. They know how its done. I don't mind letting them either...ha...it all taste good to me. We have a sweet and sour, homemade sause that we use. Never used the pot like you were talking...too many in our household...deep fring in huge pots...haha...thanks Ms. Norma for sharing your talent of cooking with the world and thanks Ms. B for connecting us with those recipes!
Don, she must have been a friend of Anita's mother because they were about the same age. Nuggets seem to be the favorite for kids. Adults like chomping the whole chicken piece. LOL
Debbie, those little pots were definitely a fad that didn't last for the very reason you mention. We had 4 kids and 2 adults around the table and the pot didn't stay hot. The kids did love the long forks that they used to put the meat in the pot. Come to think of it, it may have been the prize-winning recipe of Sue Wiseman's, another chicken-cooking queen, that we used more. It is more worn. Think I'll put a picture of it on this blog. Be right back!
Sue Wiseman's prize-winning chicken recipe. You can see it has been used a lot. Sue also entered lots of contests and was a wonderful cook. She is gone now but her husband, Jack Wiseman, is still in town and was once mayor of Searcy and now does home-inspections.
Now we're cookin'. I like Sue Wiseman's recipe the best. I have never done chicken in the fondue style cooking pot but have done beef in the Mongolian BBQ style. You can tell the age of the teriyaki sauce recipe with MSG.
We need Anita to comment on chicken recipes. I did a Skype video with her last week and she showed me around their campground in Canada. There was a tent devoted to cooking that was very impressive. Her son does all the cooking and won't let anyone in the tent while he's working. He's not cooking chicken though. Too much good Walleye Pike and bass to mess with birds.
Don, are you saying MSG is a thing of the past? I never knew what it was good for anyhow. If Anita has someone running her out of the kitchen she is on a wonderful vacation. I dream of being chased out of the kitchen and someone else taking over for me....and cleaning the kitchen up afterwards. I may have to put up a picture of the kitchen-cooking queens if I can find them.
YES, my mother WAS a friend of Norma Young....AND more so with Sue Wiseman - probably because of church affiliation. Mother used lots of Sue's recipes and techniques when she was Director of Food Service at Harding University (then College).....green bean bundles being the one I most remember.
THANKS for all the sauces recipes. Can hardly wait to get back home and try some of them.
It was fun Skyping with Don! Isn't technology amazing? We had a shore lunch yesterday with you talk about fresh caught walleye! Last night we decided on spaghetti but tonight will be walleye again as we have our yesterday afte NOON'S catch in the frig. No pressure on the guys today, and a good thing for we've been having rain off and on since 4:00 a.m.
Anyone every slept in a tent with a huge rain, lightening, thunder storm over head? I'll have to admit it was wonderful, as I didn't have to worry about the wind as we do in Arkansas.
Let's have more queen finalists for chicken cooking queen. Here is 1969 group with Sue Wiseman in the group.
Here are some 1971 finalists. And Sue won!!!!!
1973 brought out four Searcy finalists.
So there are the ladies in the magazines that I saved to try the recipes and still have the magazines. Don't you love the mini-skirts? What I notice and remember so well is that the ladies were not Sue Wiseman, or Betty Robbins, etc. They were Mrs. Jack Wiseman and Mrs. Benson Robbins!! Wouldn't it be cumberson now if my real estate signs had to say Mrs. Rodger W. Duncan? Times have changed!!!
We men appreciate mini skirts and I need to inform you that those ladies aren't wearing mini skirts.
A mini skirt is defined as a skirt with a hemline well above the knees – generally no longer than 10 cm (4 in) below the buttocks.
Those ladies are conservatively dressed for the time and look very nice.
You have wonderful archived articles, Barbara. Congratulations!
BTW, MSG has been given a bad rap for causing various problems after ingesting. In the past, it has been a food additive as common as salt. Read about it here.
Well, Don, you are right again. Those were just above the knee skirts and the length for the year was probably dictated by fashion. Women didn't have the courage to buck fashion. I can remember my mother fretting about what the skirt length would be for the next season. It it was shorter she could hem the skirt but if it was longer she was out of luck.
I am giving up MSG after this warning.
P. S., Don.
Betcha every one of those ladies had on hose! Now they do not wear hose no matter how unsightly the leg!
As a side note, Mrs. J Rodney Boland, who is mentioned in the 1973 photo, was once a 2nd grade teacher at McRae Elementary in Searcy. Around 1968 or so.
yet another Searcian, I do remember Linda Boland teaching. She is a talented person.
