This recipe was passed down from a southern gentleman with 4 hungry boys to feed every day. It has become a favorite in my house and I have 2 of the finickiest teenage boys that I know of.
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken
2 (2 2/3 ounce) packages chicken gravy mix
1 (4 1/4 ounce) package instant chicken noodle soup
1 (12 ounce) can buttermilk biscuits
1/2 cup butter
water (the amount is dependant on the brand of gravy and soup you are using)
salt and pepper
1 roasting bag
Directions:
1. Bake chicken in brown-in-bag at 375 for 1 1/2 hours.
2. In medium saucepan, heat enough water as directed to use for the gravy and soup minus 1 cup. Add the gravy and soup mixes, stirring thoroughly. Add the butter and heat until melted. Cut the biscuits into 9ths and add to mixture (I usually only use 6 of the 10 biscuits). Simmer for at least 1 hour stirring occasionally.
3. When chicken is done, drain 1 cup of juice from the bag and add to mixture. Debone chicken and add. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
