0:03
All right, I wanna show y'all
0:03
how to make just some divine chicken strips
0:06
for your man, honey, you'll just blow him away,
0:10
In fact, I told y'all I wanted to tell you
0:13
how Michael proposed to me.
0:14
So guys, y'all, don't go anywhere.
0:16
I want y'all to listen closely
0:18
'cause might give you a few ideas of your own.
0:21
I'm gonna start with a marinade on our chicken.
0:23
We're actually gonna let this marinate
0:25
in the refrigerator overnight.
0:27
We're gonna start with some sour cream
0:30
and a couple of teaspoons of celery salt.
0:33
Fresh chopped garlic, the juice of a half a lemon.
0:40
Half a teaspoon of salt,
0:42
and 'bout two teaspoons of worcestershire.
0:46
And that sour cream is gonna break down that chicken
0:51
and make it so unbelievably tender.
0:54
And it's just gonna be perfectly delicious.
0:58
Now I've got some strips already cut here.
1:01
I've taken just a boneless chicken breast
1:05
And y'all wanna remember now workin' with chicken,
1:09
you wanna make sure you don't do any cross contamination.
1:14
And you wanna make sure you wash your hands
1:16
and your board real, real good.
1:19
A tablespoon of Clorox mixed in a gallon of water
1:22
will work nicely to clean any of your surfaces with.
1:26
Now, I'm gonna just toss those around
1:28
and make sure they're coated real, real well.
1:34
So I'm gonna put these in the refrigerator
1:36
and let 'em sit overnight.
1:38
In the meantime I've got some that I did up yesterday
1:41
that are ready for us to go.
1:45
So anyway, I wanna tell y'all how Michael proposed to me.
1:55
It was Christmas morning,
1:56
and all of our family had gathered around.
2:00
And I'm runnin' around looking lovely.
2:03
Well I had noticed the night before
2:05
that a new gift had appeared underneath the Christmas tree
2:08
and it was back to the back and it said Paula.
2:11
Well I pretended that I didn't notice.
2:14
And I thought, well, I'll get that when the time's right.
2:17
Look at this wonderful pan y'all.
2:19
It's a heavy cast iron with a grill surface on it.
2:23
Because when we cook these chicken tenders
2:26
they won't sit in any grease, they're gonna sit up.
2:29
This is a wonderful heavy pan.
2:31
Before I go on with the story,
2:33
I'm gonna take sesame seeds.
2:35
And this is just a white sesame.
2:37
And you can actually even use dark too.
2:42
And we're gonna mix that together real good.
2:45
And we're just gonna take our chicken breast out,
2:47
we're gonna roll 'em in our breadcrumbs
2:49
and our sesame seed, put 'em on our pan, and into the oven.
2:54
So anyway, Michelle, Michael's daughter comes over to me
2:57
and she said, "You've got to open your gifts."
3:00
So I went over and I sat down in the chair
3:02
and they pulled out that box that I had seen
3:05
that said Paula on it.
3:07
And it was shaped in the shape of a house.
3:09
So when I sat down with this box,
3:13
I noticed that the room got quiet
3:15
and everybody was watchin' me.
3:17
So I thought, well, what's goin' on here?
3:19
Because I truly had no idea.
3:21
So I opened the box, and there was another box inside.
3:26
Now the first box said, Paula,
3:28
the next box that I opened was surrounded
3:32
by all this candy all my favorite Hershey's chocolate kisses
3:37
So I opened the next one and it said love.
3:42
And I still was not reading what was on the box.
3:46
So I had opened a box that said, Paula, I, love.
3:50
So I went to the next box.
3:52
It was surrounded by candy and it had you on it.
3:56
And I still did not realize what was goin' on.
3:59
I couldn't figure out the message.
4:01
And finally, my niece Corrie yelled out
4:03
and she said, "Paula are you readin' the message?"
4:06
And I said, "Well, it said, Paula I love you."
4:11
So I went to the next box and opened it up.
4:25
And I looked up at Michael and he was propped against
4:28
the bar over there lookin' at me, just grinnin'.
4:33
And then I said "Yes, I mean yes."
4:37
And I thought it was just the sweetest thing.
4:40
This big, tough, quiet river man
4:44
had just chosen the perfect way to propose to me.
4:49
So I've got these ready to go into the oven.
4:51
And now all I'm gonna do is drizzle these with butter.
4:54
I don't have to tell you that in the South
4:57
we're big chicken eaters.
4:59
Okay, we're gonna put those in the oven
5:01
and we're gonna cook these anywhere from 18 to 25 minutes.
5:11
And I've got some that should be ready over here.
5:24
And look how delicious they look.
5:29
Nice and golden brown.
5:31
And you can see how the grease
5:33
went to the bottom of our pan.
5:36
Oh, these look so, so good.
5:38
I'm gonna just sprinkle a few black sesame seeds
5:42
and a little lemon twist.
5:45
Now I think all I'm gonna do is serve this
5:47
with a very simple honey mustard sauce.
5:54
Mm, the girls are gonna love 'em.
6:05
