Delta Faucet and Oven-Baked "Fried" Chicken

Last Fall kicked off with such excitement as I got to visit the "Holy City" of Charleston, South Carolina for the Taste of Charleston.  This event is such an Annual highlight and I was so honored to be working with Southern Living again.  This year, Delta Faucet invited us to be sponsored as well.  It was a total dream come true!

Southern Living is pretty much part of my DNA.  And with all of my University days in South Carolina, and my Southern rearing, I was so honored to be back in Charleston for this event.  Delta Faucet is special to me because my very first paid blogging work was done for Delta Faucet and I learned of the fabulous and all-American quality performing products for your home.

So not only did my family and I get to go back to Charleston with Southern Living and Delta Faucet, they asked me if I wouldn't mind Cooking!  Yes, do  mind, this Southern Girl, cooking up a fun recipe and sharing with y'all!!!  Well, since Cooking and Homemade Cooking is in my DNA, as well. I was way up for the task!  This is my life!

So we tested out the fabulous Delta Pilar Touch O2 Technology Faucets and promptly feel in love with them.  These are dynamic.  We were shocked at how simple they are to use.  And how handy for Moms and Chefs to touch the faucet and have it turn on and off. Convenient!  And they are so beautiful in three different finishes!  I LOVED the Chrome, and the Bronze.  Cooper was cool. However, we chose the Bronze and give it a 5 star rating!

Norman King, Author of The Way to FRY, taught us so much about ways to lightly 

fry chicken, fish, and various other options to making down-home Southern cooking 

without all of the heavy grease.  Yes, We LOVED meeting him. He was 

super nice and he made cooking up specialties a real fun event. 

Even our boys were amazed.  Here they are test driving and 

choosing our faucet.  Delta Faucet spoiled us with our own!  And no green 

with envy allowed, because one Reader will be the Fortunate WINNER of a 

Delta Touch O2 Technology Faucet valued at $749.00.  Stay tuned for the GIVEAWAY 

details next week! 

The Taste of Charleston is a Southern Tradition and it is so exciting and fun.  You should check it out this year.  2014 is underway.  Meet us at Boone Hall Plantation this Fall for this kind of fun.

Finding myself so in my element at the Taste of Charleston, I was thrilled to meet 

the Southern Living Plant Collection Team and Carmen Johnston whom my 

Charleston Author interviewed last year.  Carmen was delightful and so talented

she has such talent.  Now, I want to order all of my plants from Southern Living 

Plant Collection and just ditto Carmen's creations and designs.   See, there 

is Norman King in the background.  He had fun with the crowds.

So my husband and I were so happy with our Delta Faucet, he had it installed for me and we were ready to create in the kitchen..  

In honor of The Way to FRY, I wanted to "Fry" with my own Gluten Free lifestyle. So I took 

Norman King's inspiration and spun my own amazing creation.  Here is a picture of the ingredients. See recipe below.  

It is so nice to cook and wash hands or get water like this…. awesome Touch O2 Technology 

by Delta Faucet.   Here we go with the rest of the recipe fun.

1 Lime
1 c. Almond Flour

I generously added these.

Preheat Oven for 350 degrees.  Olive Oil spray a Pyrex Baking Dish.  Lay chicken in the pan, drizzle melted butter over the chicken. sprinkle evenly, all ingredients except for the Lime and Mushrooms.

Then, place Mushrooms (rinse first) and Lime on top.  Drizzle with the Olive Oil and Bake for 30 minutes uncovered.  Remove from oven and cool. Enjoy with a lovely salad and steamed rice.
