OMG I LOVE Cracker Barrell!!!! They have the best food ever, no matter what meal you're going there to eat! Unfortunately here in Las Vegas they don't have one and it s*cks! I fell in love with them when I lived in Nashville, and I miss them so much. Please, anyone out there who wants to open one up here in Vegas, you would be most welcome! Anyway, I was gonna add one of my recipies on here. My hubby begs me to make this every night lol! It's fried chicken, but it's actually good for you! You need a deep fryer for this FYI. The trick is to use canola oil, as it's better for you than vegetable oil. The batter is made with soy flour, not all purpose flour. You might have to go to a whole foods to find it though. Here we go!

*set your deep fryer to about 375 degrees*
Ingredients:
-1 lb boneless skinless chicken tenderloins (or drums, thighs, whatever you want to use)
-1/2 cup soy flour
-1 tblsp poultry seasoning (I use Lawrys)
-1 tblsp garlic powder
-1/2 tblsp black ground pepper
-1/2 tblsp kosher salt
-2 eggs
-kosher salt and pepper to season chicken, to taste

In a bowl, mix together everything but the eggs then transfer to plate. In the same bowl, whisk together both eggs then transfer to separate plate. Salt and pepper your chicken (you can do this in it's own package so you don't dirty another dish), then dip the chicken strip in the batter, then the eggs, then the batter one more time (make sure it's coated well!) and drop in the fryer basket and cook 5-6 minutes. It is so tasty... enjoy!!
