What is a Mississippi Chicken?
Before we jump right into the recipes, let us briefly discuss what a Mississippi chicken is in the first place. Simply put, this dish is a variation of the famous Mississippi pot roast. However, instead of using beef, this one uses chicken.
Aside from the meat, this recipe generally uses some ranch dressing mix, au jus gravy mix, butter, and pepperoncini peppers. Additionally, a crock pot is often the appliance of choice for this dish. However, the times have changed, and it should no longer be surprising that there are now many ways to make this dish.
There are some recipes where the ingredients have changed, either adding new elements or omitting some of the traditional ones. People have also been creative in devising different methods to cook this dish. As you will see later, it can also be cooked in the oven or on the grill.
Despite the variations that now exist, that tangy flavor coupled with that slightly spicy kick still exists in almost all of the Mississippi chicken recipes. You can say it is its trademark. One that will not be out of fashion and changed anytime soon.
