As a foodie, one quick look at the ingredient list and I can make out how the dish will taste or look, but this recipe of Deviled Chicken surprised me. I’ve never had a baked chicken dish smelling this good. The ingredients are simple and preparing this recipe hardly took time. However, the outcome is not only mouth watering but comforting too.

Making Deviled Chicken.

Taking pictures of this dish was a tough task since my family was waiting to eat it. I hope I did a good job and I encourage you to try it, I’m sure it will be your favorite too. Deviled Chicken was really delicious and my family enjoyed it so much.

Icy Snow Blackstone (Yes that is her name) was featured in MunatyCooking Magazine in different issues. Her Book Jericho Road is a new release. She is here today to talk about her book and share Deviled Chicken recipe with you.

Don’t forget to stop by the Authors website and find out more about her books. Well, now let’s hear it from Icy.

I’ve no idea why I decided to write a novel about the South of the 1970’s. Even if it was a time I lived through as someone just out of college and observing it all, I don’t think I was at all interested in what was happening or seeing it as monumental in the general scheme of thing, at least not at the time. Certainly, I wasn’t a hippie or any kind of rebel or reactionary. However, in the 1990’s, I suddenly found myself inspired to write this novel. Knowing from past experience that the characters and the plot weren’t going to let me alone until I did, I gave in, sat down and proceeded to do so.

In one scene from Jericho Road, Yankee Logan teases Lindsey about the well-known fame of “real” Southern cooking and dares her to prepare him a meal…”As long as it doesn’t include grits.” She accepts the challenge, gives him a list of groceries, he buys them, and she proceeds to whip up a dinner causing him to declare he’s totally ready to be “southernized” whenever she wants to start. The dish she cooks is called Deviled Chicken, and I offer it here:

This will serve 4-5. When Lindsey and Logan finished their own meal, however, I’m afraid there was nothing left. The young doctor has a tremendous appetite!

Hi Muna! Considering everyone is waiting to eat this chicken, I think you did a fantastic job taking pictures. Until you mentioned I didn’t even recognize there was a time limitation when you were taking pictures. The chicken looks perfect and looks so good!!! Thanks for the book recommendation. Normally I don’t read books in English because I get sleepy and pass out in a few minutes (according to my husband – it’s silly but it seems like it’s true!! haha).

Oh, I never take pictures when people are waiting to eat. I do that in the afternoon when my boyfriend’s at work… You did a good job!
Cheers,
