| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | In a skillet over medium heat, melt Crisco shortening. Add sliced mushrooms and brown them until fragrant and lightly golden. |
| 2. | Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the mushrooms, stirring continuously until well blended. Gradually pour in chicken stock, stirring to combine, creating a smooth sauce. |
| 3. | Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency. |
| 4. | Incorporate the diced chicken, sherry wine, salt, and cayenne pepper into the skillet, stirring well to coat the chicken evenly. Allow it to simmer until the chicken is heated through. |
| 5. | In a small bowl, lightly beat the raw egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot sauce from the skillet to the egg yolks, stirring continuously. This process tempers the egg yolks, preventing them from curdling when added to the hot sauce. |
| 6. | Once tempered, carefully pour the egg yolk mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken beautifully. |
| 7. | Remove the skillet from the heat and gently fold in the finely sliced pimiento strips, adding a pop of color and flavor to the dish. |
| 8. | Serve the Crisco Chicken ร La King hot over a bed of fluffy rice or alongside warm, flaky biscuits for a comforting meal that’s sure to delight your taste buds. |
