The Patreon full Thanksgiving meal video (1 hour game plan with 7 recipes) is now out! The ingredient amounts (also in grams) are right in the description and the print recipe is linked there as well. As always, thanks for liking our recipes and videos and sharing our family table each week.

I am a Texan and my mom taught me how to make Chicken & Dumplings as a little girl. Her recipe was very close to this one, except she didn’t use wine in hers. I am going to try it with the wine, though. We use buttermilk instead of whole mile and parsley in the dumplings mix, But I am fairly sure she used parsley more for the color than for the actual flavor bust.

I love how James gets excited that his son likes his food.

The recipes and cooking techniques are wonderful. However, the joyful honesty family dynamic of this channel warms my soul.

Made this with my girlfriend and we liked it so much we made it again a few days later. It’s an instant addition to our recipe card list, couldn’t recommend more.

Your family was just meant to do this! I so love watching your videos and it's really helpful to me that you lay out the ingredients before starting to cook. I must say that The Taste Tester is one lucky guy. It's great that you're giving him an appreciation not only for real food but also for your pleasure in preparing it. Bravo!

This is the BEST family business in the world. It is so great to see a family that loves food and survives by cooking, sharing knowledge and eating. Doesn't get better than that.

I made this and it was the best chicken and dumplings I’ve ever made in the 20+ years I’ve been making it! You’re not even from the South. Wowza. Thank you, Jim

Baking is an exact science, cooking is art.

Preface: I am a full blooded southerner. Now you know.

My husband loves to watch sip and feast and when he saw this recipe, begged me to make it. I was dubious to say the least.

I made it tonight and I must say, this was damn good. The dumplings were the perfect texture and the sour cream really gave them an excellent flavor. The soup was delish. I did add extra onion but were an onion loving family. Honestly 9.5/10.

My mom always used a pair of tablespoons to portion her dumplings into the chicken soup. Scoop with one, push with the other.

I Love the Excitement U get when Your Kid Loves Your food.
It's one of the best feelings ever for a Dad😂🎉🎉🎉

My Mom always had a second pot of Bullion going to steam a pot full of Dumplings, so we could have many dumplings as we could eat.

[somethingiwillremember]

remember seeing your channel awhile ago with only a couple hundred subscribers, im happy to see the effort you put into your videos has paid off, 960 thousand is impressive

As a southerner from eastern Kentucky, I was a bit hesitant when I started this video. This isn’t really how we make them, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad! I think this looks delicious! And tbf, you never claim that this is the definitive southern way. It’s just your way, and I respect that. 🔥

Hi, comment from germany here!!!
Now this is really something differend. Making it today on a tuesday evening and I am so exited what my family will say. Just waiting for this wierd "knödelthings" to be done but so far it smells and tastes amazing. 😅 Thanks for a addition to my recepies.

I'm from N.C. and grew up eating chicken & dumplings. They used to serve it those cafeteria restaurants that are now a distant memory. It was usually the thick rolled pasta style dumplings, rather than the floating clouds, which are superior. Anyway, it's sweet, sweet comfort food. I like to make it this time of year. Your recipe for the seasonings in the dumplings is something I will adopt right away.

[kcstott]

Thank you Sir for giving me the tools needed to recreate my mothers chicken & dumplings.
I suspect this is something that came from her father or grandmother. Irish and Lithuanian decent. Very much Yankee’s and not southerners for sure.
I’ve never been able to recreate her dumplings. Your recipe is as close as I’ve ever gotten and is better in my opinion.
Thank you for sharing.

[Chris-chnb]

Seeing him with his kid and his genuine reaction to James’ review is usually the best part of these videos!

My grandmother made Chicken and Dumplings using Bisquick mix, so that's what I used for years. One day, I found I was out of Bisquick so l made my own. My homemade dumplings were even better than ever. I mix flour, baking soda, salt white pepper and sage, cut in a few tablespoons of cold butter, then some buttermilk. It's biscuit batter, really. 😋
