Homemade McChicken

M cChicken sandwich, spicy or regular, has always been a household favorite until McDonalds started adding crap to the recipe. I used to work at McDonalds when I was 16 years old, things have def changed from then to now. Season it how you wish, I just throw a bunch of spices in and call it good! Does not matter what you use.  You Will Need: Ground Chicken Garlic Powder Onion Powder Paprika  Breadcrumbs  Flour Egg Wash Mayo Buns Lettuce Tomato After you form patties, freeze for 1 to 2 hours. Once frozen, dip in flour, egg then bread crumbs and deep fry until golden brown and 165 degrees temp reached inside. 

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream

I love ice cream, and making ice cream is my most favorite thing ever! With it heating up in Ohio I am foaming at the mouth with ideas for ice cream recipes. I just cannot wait to share them all!!
You Will Need:
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
2 Cups Heavy Cream
2 Cups Whole Milk
1 Cup Sugar, divided
1 Organic Vanilla Bean
5 Eggs, divided
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Cuisinart Ice Cream Machine
Tovolo Ice Cream Container
Heat vanilla bean, half the sugar, heavy cream, and milk heat until just boiling (you do not want to ruin the milk)
Take egg yolks, and other half of sugar and beat until pale and fluffy about 4-8 minutes 
Once the milk is warm (sorry not pictured) you want to add a little of the milk to the egg mixture and stir, add about 1/2 the picture total and then pour the egg/milk mixture into the pan again. Add vanilla
Heat over medium heat until thick and coating the  back of a wooden spoon, may take 10 minutes (keep stirring)
Strain custard 
Place plastic wrap on top, making sure it touches the custard and place in fridge for 3 hours or overnight
Make your cook dough, while custard gets cold. Roll into small balls (smaller than I have here)
Freeze until needed
Freeze according to your directions on your ice cream machine
Add chocolate chip cookie dough with 5 minutes remaining, add as much or as little as you like
Mine takes 20 minutes to freeze
So good!!
Place in a freezer safe bowl, I used glass because I did not have my silicone containers yet
There you go! Amazing homemade vanilla cookie dough ice cream!!
