is one numerous competitions and Chuckwagon of the Year good see y'all it is his time honored family recipe for chicken fried steak has served thousands of cowboys for the past 15 years made this special for you did Jas here's the setup Ken thinks he's being featured on a Food Network special called Chuck Wagon Cuisine hi Food Network my name's Kent Rollins welcome to Chuck Wagon cuisine this is an 1876 studa Baker this old Chuck Wagon me and it have made a lot of miles across the United States and Canada cooking for a lot of people and a lot of different ranches this is my workspace right here along with this trusty companion Bera Kent's traveling kitchen has coralled more than just cowboys I serve Governor at Bar Mitzvah Brandon's weddings I don't care and who's Bera she's a good old gal she weighs about 385 lb and I can can still loader and unloader by myself old Bertha she ain't never been nothing but hot and heavy all her entire life that'll be more than enough today hot as it is I promise you Red River ranch seasoning that I use in the flour and season mixture it's really my signature mark that I put on meat or anything that I cook it'll make a chicken fry what it is and that's special it's typically just dipped it's pretty flour salt and pepper that's right but this is Bobby's fried chicken recipe yeah so we're going to use some allpurpose flour chili the yball onion and garlic powder mix that up it'll be a crash course for me on the Chuck Wagon but using my fried chicken recipe could give me the edge go ahead and place it in here put it in the flour and season mixture baptize this meat one more time coat it one more time again we want this to come up to a big golden thick crust that's on this chicken fry and if I know which knob turned it on I'd be in good shape I would what I use is fire you just turn it on when you like a match we're going to put this on high and let this oil get good and hot we're going to let that simmer in there for maybe 2 to 3 minutes and get a good golden brown crust yeah that's beautiful oh yeah Kent thinks he's about to be the Lone Star of a Food Network special where he'll make his famous chicken fried steak and his posi has come out in droves for his taping of Chuckwagon Cuisine and I guarantee you Ken has no idea that three Yankees have entered buyers Texas and are about to Ambush him for a chicken fried steak [Music] Throwdown in old egg dip it in milk throw it in some oil and go to eaten but a chicken fried steak to us was always a Sunday meal chicken fried steak is chicken fried steak and it's pretty big

Bobby if your meat's that tough you're going to need a big yeah I like that [Applause] who Kent's fry is fast so I dive into my shallow fry I'm afraid that's going to Barn on Old berka don't worry we're not making jerky today Kent riving started heating up the competition but that was the only heat beneath the tent got some heat going on here in Texas it's like an inferno I prefer an air conditioned Kitchen in New York City thank you very much but Kent loves what he does I feel good it's like James Brown I feel good and the hometown crowd loves him too we're almost ready to feed the crowd but Kent and I get first dibs oh this is good oh this is good is very good very very tender and it's thicker see I was thought it was about the outside but the meat is really obviously the star
