Steps:
- 1. PREPARE CHICKEN: Trim any fat from the chicken. Place the chicken tenders in a bowl, cover with buttermilk, refrigerate for 30 minutes to tenderize the meat. Don't skip this step!
- 2. MAKE THE BATTER: Use a small bowl, add the 1/2 cup of buttermilk and 1 teaspoon of creole seasoning and whisk smooth. About the creole seasoning: It has salt in it, so don't salt the chicken or it will be too salty. Cook's Tip: I keep powdered buttermilk on hand in the fridge. I use it for all my baking and cooking and there is no waste. The buttermilk powder must also be refrigerated.
- 3. MAKE THE SEASONED FLOUR: In a flat pie plate, mix one cup of flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons creole seasoning. Mix well. Dip a soaked chicken tender into the small bowl and then into the flour mixture, coating both sides. Note: You can fry one piece of chicken to see if it has enough creole seasoning to satisfy your taste before frying the whole batch of chicken.
- 4. FRY THE CHICKEN I use an electric skillet just because it is easier. Put enough coconut oil in the skillet on medium high heat, and when the oil is hot but not smoking, add the coated chicken tenders and fry until nice an brown on both sides. About 6 to 8 minutes.
- 5. SERVE THE CHICKEN Here is how it should look! Enjoy!

Steps:
- Craig Claiborne believed a black iron skillet to be essential for the authentic preparation of this dish. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Select a skillet large enough to hold the chicken comfortably when it is opened up as for broiling. Fold the chicken wings under to hold them secure.
- Melt the butter in the pan and add the chicken skin-side down. Cover the chicken firmly with a plate that will fit comfortably inside the skillet. Place a heavy can, stone or brick on the plate to weight it down. Cook over low heat, checking the skin side of the chicken, until it is nicely browned, approximately 25 minutes.
- Remove the chicken to a warm platter. To the skillet add the onion, celery, green pepper and garlic and cook, stirring, until onions are wilted.
- Sprinkle with flour and stir to blend. Add the tomatoes, bay leaf, salt and pepper, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Bring to a boil.
- Return the chicken to the sauce skin-side up. Cover with the plate and weights and continue cooking over low heat 45 minutes longer. Remove the chicken to a warm platter and cook down the sauce briefly, stirring. Pour the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with parsley.

CREOLE SKILLET DINNER
While living in Canada, I sampled this colorful dish at a neighbor's. The following Christmas, I served it instead of my traditional turkey, and I received numerous compliments on it. I frequently substitute shrimp or sausage for the chicken ... or add all three. -Bonnie Brann, Pasco, Washington
