1

Welcome to the show, today we're making chicken and dumplings.

2

Use chicken thighs for the dish as they hold up well in soup and don't dry out.

3

Season the chicken thighs with black pepper and salt, heavily salting as it will go into the water to make broth.

4

Place the seasoned chicken into the pressure cooker.

5

Cook the chicken in the pressure cooker for about 30 minutes and let it naturally release afterward.

6

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the fried chicken by seasoning chicken wings with mustard and vinegar to create a binder.

7

Mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, and sage into a rub for the chicken wings, ensuring no salt is added to the rub.

8

Coat the chicken wings with the rub, adding more for flavor.

9

Put the seasoned chicken wings in the refrigerator to chill, then into the freezer for about 10 minutes before frying.

10

Prepare the mirepoix with chopped onions, carrots, and celery, using the flowers of the celery for added flavor.

Chop the vegetables until they fill the pot appropriately, then add chopped garlic and sage to the mix.

Sauté the vegetables in the pot until they are tender.
