- Hey y'all, welcome to the kitchen today.
0:03
This is Father John Lyons,
0:06
and he said, "Paula I want to learn how to cook."
0:09
So I said, "Well, you're at the right place.
0:11
Come on in."
0:12
And we're starting with super easy recipes, Father John.
0:15
- Thank you Paula.
0:17
- And we were just standing up here
0:19
talking about his childhood and all that.
0:22
And it sounds so wonderful.
0:23
He is the priest at Sacred Hearts Catholic Church
0:28
on Bull Street here in Savannah.
0:32
So if you're visiting Savannah on the weekends,
0:36
he would welcome you with open arms
0:39
if you wanted to come visit his services,
0:42
and uh...
0:45
So how about we put a link?
0:47
- Well, we're on the web, right?
0:49
You can go to our Facebook page or.
0:50
- We'll put a link yes
0:52
at the end of this.
0:53
- Thank you.
0:53
- This little whatever you call what we're doing. (chuckles)
0:58
This thing with our friends.
0:59
- That's it. Very good.
1:00
- And speaking of friends,
1:02
you've got somebody out there that you wanted to, uh.
1:06
- Her name is Jackie Annagusta.
1:08
- Jackie Annagusta?
1:09
- Please say hello to Jackie.
1:10
She would love it. - Can we say her last name?
1:11
- Hoyt. Jackie Hoyt.
1:13
Her husband is Dennis. - Jackie Hoyt.
1:14
- Dennis Hoyt. Good friend
1:15
- Dennis or he's a dentist?
1:18
- No, no, while he works,
1:19
his name is Dennis and he ran a dental lab
1:23
for the medical house.
1:23
(Paula laughs)
1:25
- I thought you said he was a, okay.
1:27
- Dennis and Jackie Hoyt.
1:28
They would love it.
1:29
- Well, Jackie.
1:30
- They're good cooks too. She's a good cook.
1:33
- There's no need for me to say
1:34
what a wonderful friend you have in this man.
1:37
You and Dennis.
1:38
So I hear that you have followed me.
1:43
Is that right Father John over the years?
1:46
- Yes. Yes.
1:47
- So I thank you for that, Jackie.
1:50
I thank you for your love and support.
1:52
And so does Father John.
1:55
- Amen on that.
1:57
- So the next recipe I'm going to share with you.
2:00
We we've just been doing dips
2:02
and easy mix and stir dishes.
2:07
And, but it, at least it gets you familiar,
2:11
you know touching the food and all of that.
2:14
- And eating food too.
2:15
- And eating food. Yes!
2:16
So the next recipe I'm going to share with you
2:19
is spicy chicken bites.
2:23
And these are so good.
2:25
And the recipe is in my Air Fryer Cookbook
2:29
Which this is a great little book
2:31
and we have a hard time sometimes keeping it published
2:36
because it works with any air fryer.
2:39
You know, it doesn't have to be mine.
2:42
So we're going to do this recipe
2:45
and we're going to start with like chicken breast
2:48
that we sliced up.
2:50
So,
2:53
I'm going to shuffle some things around
2:55
and we can multitask with this.
3:01
Let's see.
3:03
Why don't we put our brown sugar.
3:10
So this is kind of a sweet and savory,
3:12
which I love sweets and savories.
3:15
All right. So you've got your half a cup of brown sugar,
3:21
and now you're going to need a fourth of a teaspoon of salt
3:26
and yeah, there it is.
3:28
Fourth of a teaspoon of salt.
3:30
- So this is, okay, is that?
3:32
- Yes, sir.
3:32
That you got it.
3:34
- Okay.
3:34
- All right. Now fourth of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
3:38
So you may have a sprinkle.
3:40
Yeah you want to pop that off
3:45
and be careful.
3:46
Oh, I know you just washed your hands,
3:47
but don't put them near your eyes.
3:51
- Okay. Look good?
3:52
- That looks good to me.
3:56
And a eighth of a teaspoon of black pepper
4:00
and we're gonna get to use the eighth of a teaspoon
4:05
that Mark and Marvin sent to us.
4:10
Thank you guys. (chuckles)
4:13
That has come in handy today.
4:15
All right.
4:16
So you've got all your dry things mixed together.
4:20
So we're just going to kind of do that up.
4:26
Like that.
4:28
And then if you'll put your bacon over here,
4:32
right here.
4:33
- Now put in or?
4:34
- No, no, no, right here. (laughs)
4:35
- Glad I asked.
4:37
- I'm glad you did too.
4:39
So we're going to take our chicken,
4:42
and we're just going to wrap our bacon around it.
4:46
And we're going to just take a toothpick
4:50
and secure that bacon.
4:55
There you go.
4:56
And that bacon if you don't think it's big enough,
4:58
it will stretch.
5:00
So you shouldn't have any problem.
5:08
Like I said,
5:09
I think this might be one of my favorite recipes.
5:11
How about you Eddy?
5:13
- [Eddy] You know, it's a little bit
5:15
like my favorite close line bacon recipe.
5:17
- Yes! Yes yes.
5:20
- [Eddy] It has, uh, candy.
5:22
- Yes. It gets a little candied.
5:26
And I tell you, these cooks so much better in an air fryer.
5:31
All right our air fryer basket.
5:37
Now all we do now
5:40
is just coat,
5:44
coat our bacon wrapped chicken.
5:48
Just coat it real good
5:51
and we're going to sit in our air fryer basket
5:56
and then we're going to spray it.
5:58
You know, it recommends, the air fryer recommends spraying
6:04
just about everything you fix,
6:05
but I don't find that necessary
6:08
on some things, but on this dish,
6:12
I definitely recommend you spray in it
6:15
because it's going to help that bacon crisp up.
6:20
- When did air fryers come on the scene?
6:22
I mean, have been around for decades or like just 19?
6:26
- You know I don't know how long have I been out with mine?
6:28
- [Eddy] You know, when I first started with you
6:30
was when you got your first.
6:33
- Yeah. - Air fryer.
6:34
So maybe about six years now it's been on.
6:37
- [Paula] Yeah. - [John] Fairly.
6:38
- Like how long it's been out?
6:40
Now that's just mine.
6:41
And I was late coming to the game.
6:47
And I thought, well that makes me so sad
6:51
that I was this late to the game,
6:53
but you know what?
6:55
I finally realized it was really a blessing
6:58
because it gave me a chance to look at others
7:01
and see what I didn't like about them.
7:06
And so I was able to win
7:09
when I sat down at the design table,
7:12
you know I was able to pretty much design what.
7:16
- Just continue to put these in the fryer?
7:17
- [Paula] Yes. Yes. I was able to design
7:21
what I felt like would work better for people.
7:26
So, I mean, we sold way over a hundred thousand.
7:31
Just don't shop HQ had we Eddy?
7:33
- [Eddy] Yes, yes.
7:36
- [John] People have loved them.
7:37
- [Paula] I could not do without my air fryer.
7:40
- [John] This was not one of my alliances,
7:42
uh, appliances back. (fumbles)
7:44
(Paula laughs)
7:46
- I bet it was. (laughs)
7:50
- She would have loved it, though.
7:51
- She would have loved it.
7:52
- Oh, she would have loved it, yeah.
7:55
- You know, it doesn't heat up your kitchen
7:58
like your regular ovens do.
8:03
And it cooks so much quicker.
8:06
So much quicker than that regular oven,
8:10
because you know your regular oven is like big
8:14
and this is a small little space.
8:17
So the--
8:18
- Should we sprinkle some of this on or we're done?
8:19
- I think we've got enough on it.
8:21
But we do have to take our non stick thing there.
8:30
- [Eddy] We spray it up.
8:30
- [Paula] Yes we spray it.
8:31
And like I said, that's going to make it crispy.
8:36
All right and just coat rear (mumbles) and not some so.
8:44
I see one that might need a little bit more sugar on it.
8:49
What you think?
8:50
I think you had a good call when you.
8:52
Aha. is it that one there?
8:54
- [John] I think.
8:54
A little dab will do you?
8:56
- [Paula] Is that one,
8:57
was that the one?
8:58
- [Eddy] Yeah,
8:59
but I think the brown sugar is starting
9:01
to melt into it now.
9:02
- [Paula] It is, it's starting to melt.
9:06
Can't have too much brown sugar there.
9:10
Okay. So if you want to spray those?
9:12
- [John] Yeah just a light spray
9:14
or a medium coating or what?
9:16
- [Paula] Just kind of medium.
9:17
Just make sure you hit every one of them.
9:19
- [John] Okay.
9:20
(spray fizzing)
9:22
- [Paula] You're perfect.
9:25
- [Eddy] That looks like we're.
9:26
- That one right there now. There you go.
9:28
Perfect. Now we're going to let these cook for 10 minutes
9:33
and then we're going to flip them over.
9:36
(metal clacking)
9:40
All right on 400
9:43
and for 10 minutes.
9:46
And then we're gonna flip them over, spray them again,
9:49
so that under side of that bacon can get crisp
9:52
and cook it for about five more minutes.
9:55
But,
9:58
that may vary.
10:00
I'll check it before the 10 minutes is up
10:04
because these machines are powerful
10:08
and it really depends on your cooking time.
10:11
Really depends on how big you cut your chicken bites.
10:17
You know, some people might cut them that big,
10:19
and some people might cut them that big.
10:21
So that will certainly make a difference
10:23
in your cooking time now.
10:25
- Do you sell different capacity sizes or?
10:27
Okay. - Yes yes.
10:28
- So you have different sizes.
10:29
- This is the largest one that I have.
10:32
And that's a 10 quart, right Eddy?
10:36
- [Eddy] That's the 10 quart.
10:38
I think you actually have one
10:39
a little bit larger than that though.
10:41
- Oh, really?
10:42
The air oven?
10:44
Is the air oven bigger than that?
10:45
- [Eddy] You know I think the digital one
10:47
that just came out is a little bigger.
10:49
Is our largest now. - Oh, okay.
10:51
But yeah, I started out with just a little one.
10:54
And of course, everybody said,
10:56
"That's not big enough for my family,"
10:59
but it was great for like one or two people.
11:02
It was perfect.
11:04
And so we kept making them bigger and bigger and bigger.
11:08
So if I misquote, you can tell me Eddy.
11:13
But I think we have the largest air fryer on the market.
11:16
Is that correct?
11:17
- [Eddy] Yes.
11:19
- So I can, I can feed a lot of people with a air fryer.
11:24
- And you do, yeah.
11:25
- And I do. (laughs) - Yeah.
11:28
So how easy is it to clean this once you finish cooking?
11:31
- This is so easy to clean.
11:35
My sons had a finish in their pots and pans that I loved.
11:43
And so we put that same thing in the air fryer.
11:49
And I'm going to take these out
11:51
so I can show you how easy.
11:54
You'll see just a damp rug will get it.
12:00
Come on out there chicken.
12:03
Aren't these pretty?
12:04
- I mean, they look good, they smell.
12:06
- They look delicious, don't they?
12:07
All right let's see.
12:09
All right now see this little handle right here?
12:12
- Right. Okay.
12:14
- Look at that.
12:15
Now look at all the bacon,
12:17
the grease from the bacon, that we're not consuming.
12:23
So you just take this out and wash it.
12:25
I mean, it just,
12:26
it'll wipe right off.
12:27
- Is this submergible? Or you just have to.
12:29
- Oh yes, yes.
12:30
All of it. All of it.
12:33
- Okay, well that's--
12:34
- So there is just nothing to it.
12:37
And I can't remember what dip we suggest serving this with.
12:43
To me, it is so good, it doesn't, it doesn't need a dip.
12:47
So help yourself to a piece of chicken.
12:49
- Yeah. Let's see I if they're too hot to put.
12:55
Yeah, yeah.
12:55
They're piping hot.
12:57
- (chuckles) They are.
12:58
- Needs a little bit of
13:01
a minute or two.
13:02
You're braver than I am.
13:04
(mouth slurping)
13:08
It's good. - So good.
13:09
Yes it's hot,
13:10
but so good.
13:16
Love that candied bacon.
13:19
- Oh yeah.
13:21
- Mm-hmm. Ain't that good?
13:23
Mm, mm, mm, mm.
13:26
- [John] You did good.
13:28
- Thank you.
13:29
Thank you. Well, you know what?
13:31
I want you to have one of my air fryers
13:38
over that bacon.
13:40
- Oh, thank you so much.
13:41
It'll be a new chapter
13:42
in my cooking career, which has been dormant for the last.
13:47
(Paula laughs)
13:48
- Well, thank you so much
13:49
Father John for coming. - Well thank you Paula.
13:50
It's been a treat.
13:51
- And being with me,
13:53
and I just love it when I look outside
13:56
and see you and those triplets playing together.
13:58
- Well, they're a gift from God, all of us.
14:00
So we will enjoy them till they turn into teenagers.
14:04
- Yeah. (chuckles)
14:05
- And we have to do some serious praying.
14:07
- They will wanna throw away your key.
14:09
Lock them up and throw away the key. (laughs)
14:13
- Oh, mercy.
14:14
- So thank you dear
14:17
and we'll move on to other things.
14:22
- Amen on that.
14:22
- I'll have you back
14:23
and we'll cook you a chicken and some fish
14:26
to show you how easy it will be to put your meals together.
14:30
- I will enjoy that greatly.
14:31
Thank you so much for your kindness to me.
14:33
- Oh no, thank you.
14:33
Thank you. - Keep up the good work.
14:35
We love you. - Our family loves you.
14:37
Very much. - Thank you, thank you.
14:40
- Just like we love y'all out there.
14:42
So love and best dishes to all of my friends out there.
