shake and bake fried chicken

Tonight I made fried chicken with my friends. We were unorthodox in our method of making our fried chicken. We used Shake and Bake. We cut the boneless chicken breasts into bit size pieces. For the Shake and Bake, we had to moisten the chicken with some water, and then shake it in a bag with the mix. Once the chicken was fully coated, We fried it in oil. To get the oil to right temperature, let it heat up on medium to medium high heat for a couple of minutes. A good trick is to splash a little water in the oil, if the oil splatters it is hot enough. For a side dish we made cheese veggies. We boiled potatoes, broccoli, and green peas. In another pan, I melted some butter along with some oil. Once the butter melted, I added flour to make a roux. A roux is a classic thickening agent used in French cuisine. It is important to stir the flour with the fat so the flour cooks out. I then added some milk. For the roux to work its magic, the milk has to come to a boil first. When it comes to a boil, I reduce the heat and add the cheese gradually. I then added some adobo seasoning, paprika, and black pepper. I then put the cheese sauce on the veggies. If you don't like broccoli in this sauce there is something wrong with you. Enjoy!
