Country Style Chicken and Dumplings 

Thank you, RU-vid, for continuing to suggest these older videos from dear Phyllis. It is comforting to hear her voice again and relive a great recipe she's made.

I just love Phyllis Stokes and Bucky! I came upon her channel before she got sick. I love her recipes, tips on how to live! RIP Phyllis and Bucky. We will see you again in heaven.

I really miss Miss Phyllis. As odd as it is...I cry every day knowing one more sister in Christ is no longer here for me to connect with - kindred spirits in the kitchen and in faith. You’d think tears would dry up, but no. I hated that you suffered so, which is the only reason I bear my loss and rejoice your victory. Such a good and faithful servant were you.. A mentor in multiple aspects. Thank you dear God for bringing her home to you, and leaving these videos here for me/us. You knew her legacy would bring glory for all to be blessed forever🥺

You are addictive. I can't watch just one video at a time. You make me feel so welcome to your home. I'm 72 and still learning so much. I'm starting to cook for pleasure again and you are such an inspiration. I will be making this today. You seem to be my inspiration about every day as to what I want to cook and share with my family. Thank you so much.

Thanks for watching and making a comment. We've already finished off the chicken and dumpling I made Saturday night. Probably the best I ever made and I think it had everything to do with the Fairdale chicken. It was really delicious and very tender. Phyllis

I am so happy y’all have decided to keep these still up. She sooooo warms my heart!😇

How bittersweet to be rewatching this in March, 2020...You're so very VERY missed Miss Phyllis, but your wonderful legacy lives on through these old videos & the loving tribute Stephen is paying to you with his own videos in your familiar kitchen & his touching family stories...He has such a warm & friendly demeanor, & I know how proud you'd be of him...God bless your & Mr. Bucky's loving families...I'll be remembering you for a very long time to come...Poppy...OH

Thank you so much for being so genuine! Alot of cooks who become popular on RU-vid seem to drift to the "dark side " their videos become all glitz, glamour, paying homage to the advertisers or makers of the products. You stay true to yourself & always keep the food the "star". By the way....please make a video of your rolled out dumplings! My grandmother always made rolled out dumplings, im curious to see if your recipe is different. Even if it is I have a feeling I will love your's ! much love & patience, TONYA / FLORIDA

you remind me of my grandmother so much. she taught me how to cook southern food like this from scratch just like you do! now in my mid twenties, I feel I have lost my way to convenience food and a busy work schedule. your videos bring me right back to my roots and its beyond comforting. I hope that when I have children, I can pass this experience on to them. thank you!

I always watch her to soothe me…….she just has this wonderful Christian nature about her. She makes me think of my beloved mom……….. I know she and Mr./Bucky are in their. Celestial home. I love listening to you too, Stephen. ❤️

The last time I had chicken and dumplings was about 15 years before my mother passed and she has been gone for 12, so going on 30 years. I'm sappy, but this video made me cry remembering how much I loved those dumplings and my mother. Thank you for sharing and thank you even more for the memories that came with it. XOXOXOX

Making dumplings today & thought of Phyllis. I learned a lot from this video & it helped me soo much. RIP sweet lady you are missed🥰

My mom used to make the best chicken and dumplings. She'd do it a lot like you Phyllis except she'd drop bisquick as dumplings but omg they'd get so fluffy. I am going to follow yours since it's so much like my moms. She passed in 1996 to cancer and prayed and believed in her healing after the chemo wouldn't work and she was in her bible 24/7 but unfortunately she passed I miss her everyday but watching your videos reminds me a lot of my mom. She was a interior decorator and could sew anything. I know you also were a successful woman and now you are retired but same strong yet very feminine presence as my mom. Thank you and God Bless you Phyllis.

Hello Phyllis from Roanoke Virginia. I made my first batch of chicken and dumplings when I was 13 years old. They weren't the best but they were edible. That was almost 46 years ago and I haven't stopped making them since. I've even made them at restaurants where I've worked for the daily lunch special. I'm not bragging but my dumplings always got raves which made me feel really good, but I was never totally happy with them and was always looking for new ways to make them. Lord knows I've tried numerous different ways but always went back to my own recipe as I didn't like the others. I ran across yours some time ago and I tried them, I am *so glad* that I did. They were without a doubt the best dumplings I've eaten in my life. Thank you *SO* much for posting this recipe. =)

I will never stop missing this sweet lady .

I love your old school cooking method and recipes. You are thorough and explain everything perfectly. And thanks for the garbage disposal tip. I didn't know that. Thanks Mrs. Phyllis!!!

I do miss your mom. Its good to watch her again. When I look up a cooking video and they reccommend her old videos I just love it. I do also enjoy the nes stuff😊. God bless!

I work at fieldale farms. Thanks for the plug and thanks for the compliments. We believe in quality and excellence

For as long as I’ve been a wife (32 yrs), I’ve *never* been able to make good chicken & dumplins. I either make lumpy chicken plaster, or chicken & chewy gravy. I said, “well, if anyone can show me how to do it right, it’ll be Mrs. Phyllis!” 😊 Sure enough, here’s the one I’ll use. Lovely video, as usual & cant wait to try. Thanks for sharing! Be well, ~~QM 💕

Thank God for these videos. Mama wasn't feeling well and wanted chicken and dumplings. She makes them just like you Miss Phyllis. Hope you and Mr. Buckey are well.

Hi Phyllis. Thank you for your recipes, tips and information. I feel like I have known you and you family forever. You have such a warmth to you. I enjoy your stories, it's like having a old friend in my kitchen. Bless you and your family. Take Care!!

Fall and winter are on the way. This will be so good on those cold days . Thank you so much.

Your videos are priceless!! I love how you cook and explain everything. You food always looks so perfect, I bet it tastes amazing! You are so kind. I feel like you are my mom on RU-vid. I would be so lucky!!

Mother Phyllis, I made this For Dinner Tomorrow, I'm waiting to cool the Pot off and Put it in Fridge. It sure did come out Great. Since the Chickens are much better then they were 2 years ago its a Blessing to make these dishes again, I was Raised on a Farm and we never Bought Meat or Milk. Veggies we planted but not always had everything so we still bought some. My Mother Really wasn't a Perfect Bread Baker as You are, I'm sure you guessed that by now :) But Since Jesus sent me a 2nd Mother to teach me things mine couldn't as she was very sick when I came along, I was like a 2nd Family my age is disant from my other Siblings and I have lost 4 siblings, I have 3 left. God Bless You you are a Blessing to me..ox

Yes I miss her also. She was so kind to everyone. I trust her dumplings recipe. God bless ur family Phyllis.

Hi Phyllis , You are a wonderful cook, and I love your video's. I will be making your chicken and dumpling recipe this Saturday, so my family and I can enjoy it for a few meals. It looks divine! I always add fresh lemon juice and some freshly grated lemon zest from that lemon into my chicken broth, as that really adds a very fresh burst of goodness and citrus sunshine flavor, and if you have a chest cold or flu, or stomach virus the lemon really helps with chest congestion discomfort when you add it to chicken soup. I also place a lemon in the garbage disposal, but it is great to place in the microwave to clean it, and this is what I do: The process here just requires a lemon, a microwave-safe bowl, and a dry towel: Pour water in the bowl: Measure about a half cup of water into the bowl. Squeeze the lemon: Slice the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the water. Drop the lemon halves into the bowl. Microwave for 3 minutes: Place the bowl in the microwave. Microwave on high power for 3 minutes so the liquid comes to a boil. Let stand for 5 minutes: Do not open the microwave door. The steam trapped inside will help loosen food gunk. Wipe the microwave clean: Open the door and carefully remove the bowl with the lemons. If your microwave has a turntable, lift it out and wipe it clean. Wipe the inside of the microwave clean starting with the ceiling and the sides. Finish with the floor, sweeping any crumbs into your hand. Don't forget the door! Cleaning stubborn spots: If you come across stubborn spots that won't easily wipe away, dip the corner of your dish towel in the lemon-water and scrub until the spot comes away. "I am all for making a woman's job a bit easier if I can". They say that aging is an honor since many unfortunately never reach their golden years and die young, so never apologize if you forget something.....after all we are not designed to be perfect, we are just humble humans. "To er is human:)". In any event many thanks for all your video's Phyllis, and please continue to offer your wonderful personality, and youtube video's. My family and I thoroughly enjoy them! Sending you a big thank you, with lots of happy cooking hugs, and blessings as well.

I made your dumplings for the first time and my family really loved them. They were easy to make and I felt very proud of myself. Thank you so much for the “show-how”! Love your dogs and the kittens. 💕

My favorite food.. missing you, Ms Phyllis. 💜

Damn, I miss her- and I never knew her. There was nothing contrived about her vlogs; some of these "home cooks" still try too hard on their vlogs. The cooking was simple, what I ate all my life. And her voice was so soothing, it was a pleasure, Phyllis. A true pleasure.

I was born and raised in Arizona but I think I'm southern I love the food cornbread,grits,smothered chops

Well, Hello erbouie, in Cleveland, Ohio, Thank you for commenting and cooking those chicken and dumplings. We have three Poodle Guard Dogs that help protect everything in the frig. When the frig is opened they all come running so I know what's happening. It's great when a subscriber mentions the city where they live, it makes all this so exciting to know people all over the world watch on RU-vid. We watch RU-vid all the time and rarely turn on the TV except for football of course. Thanks

I just found your videos recently and got quickly addicted!!! You cool just like my Big Mama (grandma) and mama. I have actually used a few of your recipes. I love you and your food. It brings me back to my childhood.

People talk about watching your video's years later : its 8-3-2019 as i'm watching lol i love watching all the old cooking vid's, thanks for sharing :)

Phyllis, you make your chicken and dumplings just like my grandmother used to. Thank you for sharing a great dish, it looks so good.

They look delicious. I love chicken and dumplings. Great video thanks for sharing your video.

Nice to see someone using buttermilk in their dumpling recipe. That's a very old Southern style that my grandmother used to do.

YUm! It is getting cooler here. Perfect dumpling weather. Thank you for the video. Love all of them.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes with others! I always mention you & your recipes when talking to friends & family! I was born in Salem, Oregon but I have been living in Germany for the last 43 years! Greetings!

Hi Phyllis, I love your videos and recipes :-) I have gathered that you are somewhat health conscious so I wanted to share something with you. Do you remember when it was all popular to use margarine instead of butter and decaffeinated coffee instead of regular because it was "healthier" for us?.....and then come to find out that the chemicals in those things were way worse than the natural things they were replacing....well the same is true with Crisco vs. lard. I think you would find it interesting to look it up to verify for yourself. I look to my grandpa who never had Crisco decaf or margarine a day in his life and lived to 93....oh and he ate those cholesterol loaded eggs every morning also lol. Good Health to you and yours Ken :-)

If I'd ever have to chose a last meal it would be chicken and dumplings. This looks amazing. I've not heard of using buttermilk for the dumplings. Thank you!!!

I can't wait to try this. Chicken and dumplings is my favorite!

Living up here in the mountains, Snow, Ice, whatever comes our way, I have learned to use dehydrated things like celery, onions, garlic, mushrooms etc. They are nice to have on hand, especially when the blizzards are coming in. with my gas stove, I can still whip up some nice stews, chili, whatever we are in the mood for. Amazon sells them, and for us, this is a must. Your recipe looks so delicious

I like to use a couple can's of cream of chicken soup instead of the water and flour. gives them a wonderful flavor. Love your videos.

I miss you Phyllis, thankfully we have your videos to watch....

This looks heavenly. Bless your heart.

I'm so happy to watch her and hear her voice tonight. I miss Phyllis and Bucky very much.😇💞

Oh that looks wonderful. Those dumplings are fluffy and yummy. I love chicken and dumplings. Thanks for sharing this.

I can't wait to make your chicken and dumplings! They look really good. You have so much patience and I love how you explain everything.

I'll be over for supper after church tomorrow!

Thanks Pam, I appreciate your comment. For some unknown reason my chicken and dumplings are always better the next day. The Fieldale chicken was the best we've had in many years. Phyllis

I love your videos and of course we’ll bear with you. My mom was born and raised in North Carolina and she rolled out her dumplings as did my grandmother. It consisted of flour, chicken broth and roll them. Yours look delicious and I am anxious to try your recipe.

Well I made the dumplings with a tbs of crisco and a tbs of coconut oil. Love the flavor of buttermilk in em also. The idea of rolling into little balls is wonderful btw.

Hi, I love the creation of Dumplings!🤗🐽✌❤, Sheryl

Thank you for the heart, I tried your chicken and dumplings they turned out Great ! Just the texture of dumplings I love.

I followed your recipe and shared my pictures to Facebook. Everyone was so complimentary, asking for my recipe, so I linked your video to my post. ☺️ I hope your video inspired them to make it for their families. My mother always used the canned biscuits, which I'm not a fan of, so thank you for your recipe, it really was delicious. Edit: I do not have a pressure cooker, I opted to use my crock pot, and stated in my post that you could use any large pot, pressure cooker or crock pot, whatever you have.

Another great meal from a fine Southern lady. Thank you , Miss Phyllis. :)

Thanks for the comment, Dennis. Every time I do a video that contains chicken it will be Fieldale chicken for sure. We love it. I don't know if I mentioned this in my videos but we had gone for many years without eating chicken because it taste like wet chicken feathers smell. I just hated it until I tried the Fieldale now we're eating chicken on a regular basis. Thank you Dennis and thank you Fieldale.

Dear Phyliss, The other weekend I started making a pot of chicken and dumplings, I just wasn't feeling well. and I tried dumping a package of gnocchi, it was so good.I cooked them on simmer for about 20 minutes, even though they say to cook them for 4 minutes. Will be maling these again.

I like these kind of dumplings better than the noodle kind except I only knew how to make them with bisquick thankyou for teaching us how to make things from scratch

Thanks Wanda, for making a comment. I need to come to your house for supper tonight! I'd rather have chicken and dumplings than anything I can think of. Phyllis

im going to try to make my first pot of chicken and dumplings tonight. your videos are great and thank you.

Omg thank you thank you! I just made it and my family loved it. My dumplings turned out perfect! Ypur the best cook ever!

I LOVE your videos. I have been watching them now for days!!!!!!! soo glad that I found your channel! love your voice and instructions!

If these dumplings taste anything how they look; they would be delicious!!! They're really pretty to, lol. Not all sloppy looking. Great job!!!! God bless you

That looks wonderful I want to try this recipe. I love the idea of the lemon Phyllis. That's a good tip!

I really enjoyed watching this ..I can't wait to make it ..I normally make chicken and pastry with plain flour and water dough .. This looks delicious

I think I missed this one, great recipe! 💕

O Phyllis, thank you so very much for sharing this. It has brought back memories of my dear Mama making the best dumplings. You and Mama both amaze me at the way you work the dough with your hands. For some reason I always panic when it sticks to me and think I have done something wrong and how to get it off.??? LOL Sending you hugs from Va.

Please it a Link to your to" out dumplings....if you do not have it, please make them very soon for those who asked and are waiting for your video.I love that you lived in Newport News. I have been in Portsmouth for over 50years myself...Thank you for helping so many of us recover our good ole southern recipes...take care you two, hugs

You are AWESOME!! Thank u so much for all of your videos xxxx

I am glad you mentioned pepper. Grand always added black pepper, so for me it wouldn't be the same without it. I sure wish You could let me have a bowl! Ha Ha!

I'm having such mixed feelings watching this now after earlier today seeing the video Miss Phyllis's son posted announcing her passing. Seeing her image on the screen like this makes me feel that she could not be gone. She was such a great home maker and her videos have really left an impact with me. I really valued all the things I learned watching these wonderful videos she made. RIP Miss Phyllis

Love love love this dumpling recipe in 2021

And ANOTHER yummy way to enjoy chicken, southern fried chicken is good but these Country style Chicken and Dumplings sure look so good, that I'm droolin' here as I write this comment! :)

I made Chicken and Dumplings last night and I thought of Mother Phyllis and asked Jesus to Special Bless You because You are a Special Blessing for All who come in Contact with you., God Bless You and Papa Bucky, The Lord is Good, Amen!! OX OX

I just made your recipe, and let me tell you.... Omg! It was so good! Even my kids who are picky eaters loved it! This is now a staple of mine 😊 Thank you ❤❤

Love your videos here in StL. I have tried many of your receipts and never been disappointed.

Hello, itzalljustBS, thanks for the comment. Certainly you could use any type shortening that you like.

I have never seen a thickener made with milk.. I have to try that! Thanks for another great video!

One Grandma made drop dumpling’s, the other rolled German flat dumplings! Each was delicious ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ But, I only remember how to do rolled!

Anyone watching this in 2017 trying to catch up & watch all her videos like me? LOL

I made this and it turned out perfect thank you very much

That looks so good! I'm making it this week.

I love mine with peppercorns. I also add a little sprinkle of Dill instead of lemon. But yours looks amazing.

I mercy that looks good! Gotta make this the weekend. Oooooo can't wait!

That is a perfect little dumpling on the inside! I make chicken and dumplings pretty much the same way except i just drop them by the spoonful. I will try making the little balls next time. I love them fresh out of the pot but always make enough for left overs.

Watching in 2020 still catching up on posts I didn't see. Missing miss Phyllis. X

great video....you are so laid back and at ease,,,,makes watching so much better, not to mention the awesome recipe!

Thanks for this video. Looks so delicious.

Hello Phyllis ! I wanted to thank you for sharing another one of your wonderful recipes with us. I have been following you for some time, and I am always excited to see what is next ! I do enjoy your meals. I do believe that I will be trying your chicken and dumplings before the week ends. It looks delicious!

that is the best recipe my sister and my mother cooked it when I was a kid and I could not find anyone that could cook it this way I never got the recipe and now I have it

Came across your video's, I love a good home cooked meal.. people just don't cook like this anymore.. thank you for sharing 😁 I like to add a few potatoes and carrots in mine.. grandkids love it 👍

Hi Phyllis,I love your Videos,I always wonder why no one wash their meats on the cooking shows.thank you for sharing, it your Chicken and Dumplings looks so yummy.

Hey Phyllis I just wanted to say I really enjoy your cooking segments and have saved many of them on RU-vid to cook later. I also kind of wanted to give some advice if you are willing to take it and that is that I believe your preparedness is not is prepared as it could be and by that I mean that I just feel like all of your ingredients should be sitting out on the counter ready instead of having to go to the refrigerator, look in the shells or underneath the cabinets because things like that take up a whole lot of time on the video making them longer than they should be. I hope you take that in the good spirit in which it was meant and thank you again for your hard work and effort. Keep up the good work.

Miss Phyllis this looks delicious. I actually made my mama’s recipe for chicken and dumplings yesterday and it was delicious. When you added lemon juice I thought of my daughter. When she cooks pork for pulled pork or chicken for enchiladas she adds lemon and oranges cut in half to break down the fiber so the meat is tender. You can’t taste the citrus in the meat and it is wonderful.

Hello from Germany. What an interesting dish! I'll be trying this for sure. Thank you very much for sharing.

Looks good thanks for posting. Sure would like to see your rolled out recipe, those are the ones I like

You're a GREAT cook!!

The chicken looks nice and fresh. I always check to make sure there is no yellow, dry patches on the skin or excess liquid in the bag.

Miss u Miss Phyllis and Mr Bucky!!! I will make this and think of you and your family!
