Betty, I see that you use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. Is there a reason? Does it give a different flavor?

[bettyskitchen]

@ji94552 It's mainly for convenience and because it flavors the chicken evenly.

@bettyskitchen Thank you, Betty, for your reply. I'm in CA. It's fascinating to see how different southern cooking is. Thanks for all your videos. Can you do a video on cooking turnip green, please? In southern style, of course. :)

[Shawniegirl1978]

Betty, Can I use boneless/skinless chicken or does it have to be a whole chicken?



[pfromri]

Sometimes I just like a boiled chicken like that. Looks really yummy to me.

[NothingTypical2010]

Another I will be trying Betty! Thanks.

[chonu]

[Patsymd]

I am so excited that you have chosen this alternative for your feast! What a great decision, and so perfect for those who are watching their budgets carefully.

Hey betty:) just wanted to let u know rinsing the chicken in the sink is doing nothing but possibly causing food poisoning all bacteria on the chicken would be in your sink now no matter how much u clean it cooking it will get rid of all the bacteria,I got food poisoning from this and just wanted to try stop it happening to u cause it's really awful:D great video as always-3

[monalisa20]

I love that pot. Where did you buy it

[bettyskitchen]

@monalisa20 That is a Better Homes and Gardens pot. You can only buy them at Wal-Mart.

[LuvHealthNConception]

Betty Ms Betty you did it again lol lookin good now im hungry :)

[jammingwithmarley]

Yum

[johnsoutside]

Betty, please whenever you boil raw chicken, boil it for 3 minutes, then throw the water away. Then fill the pot again with water and proceed as normal. Reason for this is to get rid of the boiled blood which gives the stock a bad taste.

[fazlaws1]

@johnsoutside I WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT!!! :)

[chubzandchibizmom]

Can I use my leftover Thanksgiving turkey with some prepared chicken stock?

[bettyskitchen]

@chubzandchibizmom Yes, this is a great recipe for leftover turkey, and you can just use chicken stock.

--Betty :)

[kdave062]

Betty, You read my mind. Went to the store this morning for a chicken for just this. Chicken and dumplings.

Thank you Betty.

[DeathNationGaming]

Bettys been busy :P

[lacigreen]

i love all these new videos :D

[smartbet]

OK..chicken is boiling and I'm waiting for the dumpling portion of the recipe so get a move on.

[tommyrazzleisback]

Betty, can I ask why You rinse the chicken? I know a lot of people do this, but I never have. I feel that that the high temperatures of cooking will sterilize and kill off any unwanted bugs etc........

I just trim off the fat and cook it up. Greetings from the UK, I love your videos!

[smartbet]

That's so easy even I couldn't screw it up (in theory anyway)

[TheVittleVlog]

Thanks Betty!
