Mama's Good Good Recipes

PAN SEARED BUTTERFLY PORK CHOPS
What's In The Good
  • 4 pork bone-in chops
  • Mama's Good Good 
  • 2 tablespoons butter
Making The Good:
  1. Sprinkle Mama's Good Good on the pork chops (both sides), patting or rubbing  in  to make sure it sticks. Marinate for an hour.
  2. Thirty minutes before cooking, remove the chops from the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. 
  4. In a cast iron skillet (or other oven-safe skillet), heat 1 tbs butter until it's just barely starting to smoke, making the skillet hot enough to add a nice sear on the chops.
  5. Place the pork chops in the hot pan searing the meat until both sides have a lovely brown crust. This usually takes 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. When you have a nice crust on chops, transfer the pan into the preheated oven. Add the other tbs butter and finish cooking the pork chops in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork is 145 degrees.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to rest 8-10 minutes before serving.

So Good!

DRY RUB CHICKEN WINGS
What’s in the Good:

  • Wingettes
  • Olive Oil
  • Mama’s Good Good Kickin/Warm Seasoning

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Place drumettes in a bowl and toss in olive oil, evenly coating. Add Momma’s Good Seasoning blend to taste. 
Once the chicken is evenly coated, arrange the pieces on a cookie sheet or glass dish and bake for 30-45 minutes, turning once halfway through.
Turn the oven to low broil and crisp chicken on each side another 15 minutes, turning halfway through.

FRIED FISH AND SHRIMP
What’s in the Good:

  • Tilapia
  • Jumbo Shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Cooking Oil (I use Canola)
  • Batter
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup flour
  • Mama’s Good Good Kickin/Warm Seasoning to taste!

Making Something Good:
Preheat oil in a large pot to 350 degrees ( I use my cast iron skillet, but you can use any large pan to fry up, just make sure it is heavy enough not to burn the oil)

Mix all of the ingredients for the batter in a large freezer bag and shake well
Drop the fish in the batter mix, coat well, and place in the hot oil (don’t overcrowd the pan, as it will lower the oil’s temperature and make the fish soggy). Cook until fish floats
When the fish begins to float, remove from oil and place on a rack to let the oil drip off.
Repeat with the shrimp
Enjoy with your favorite sauce!
