If you fry one thing that’s not donuts or latkes, it’s this fried chicken. A couple of years ago, I received a photo of a handwritten recipe and the sender called it, “Mike’s Chicken.” Many of you know that Mikes Chicken Crunchers is a fried chicken takeout located in Lakewood, NJ. And it’s known to…

Flavor Bomb Pesto & Chicken Caesar Salad
It’s simple but it packs in loads of flavor for a one-dish meal. At Between Carpools, we love those one dish meals that are healthy and light and do a good job pleasing at least a majority of the people. If you’re looking for salads that are a meal, we have this Ramen Crunch Salad…
Caramelized Onion Chicken
It might take a couple extra steps–but this dish is that “notch up” chicken you’ve been missing on the menu. One afternoon, I set out to make Chicken Marsala for dinner. I didn’t, though, like the look of the mushrooms I had on hand. It was time to improvise. I worked with the remaining ingredients…
The 9×13 Life: Peruvian Chicken
Just the right spice is the easiest way to fast flavor. In my house, aside from our Between Carpools favorites, I have my “top three go-to fast prep dinners.” One is my side of salmon, simple seasoned (curry + cumin + dill + garlic + salt + pepper) roasted at 425°F until crispy at the…
Sticky Barbecue Chicken Poppers
We love the classic Oven-Baked Hot Poppers from Dinner Done, but, yes, it is time for a new version! Before Dinner Done was released in November of 2022 we knew without a doubt that the most popular recipe would be the Oven Baked Hot Poppers (page 75). How did we know? Firstly because chicken cutlet…
Tangy Asian Chicken Fingers
It’s your favorite crispy chicken fingers, but with a twist that everyone will love. In our house, any sort of fried chicken is always a hit! We love this recipe. It tastes great and has a punch of flavor that is a nice change from traditional schnitzel. I often double the marinade and save half…
Crispy Baked Chicken Steaks
This is the way to turn chicken into an important main again. I love when i get a recipe from Ruchi D. in my inbox, i know its going to be something easy yet classy and will taste amazing. The original recipe was traced back to her sister in law’s mother in law who got…
Miso Maple Chicken with Shallots
This Miso Maple Chicken is a dish with truly special flavor! Usually, here on Between Carpools, we try to stick to the basic ingredients. We don’t like to send you on a hunt for ingredients and we love when you can make a recipe using ingredients that you already have on hand! So, even though…
Simple but Amazing: Slow Roasted Onion Chicken
Use the same recipe for any roast! This Onion Chicken (or Roast) is as simple and easy as can be. My kids call this “Bobby’s Chicken”–and there’s always a pan keeping warm in the oven on long summer Friday afternoons for Toameha. And even though it’s “Bobby’s Chicken” you’ll find some unrelated little kid’s in…
Kosher Kopykat: The Bissli Schnitzel That the Kids (and Adults) Love
I discovered these chicken fingers at The Bucket in Woodridge and recreated an inspired version in my Lakewood kitchen. I ordered these chicken fingers during one of our last meals up in the Mountains last summer…and it was a good thing because I found myself going back for another round. It’s made with super snacks,…
