Roast chicken – southern style
Chicken is a favorite southern food, and we cook it in all sorts of ways. An easy, stress-free way to cook the poultry is with a good roast chicken recipe. This roasted chicken recipe includes some of the favorite flavors of the South, and the bird is tender, juicy, and delicious. The flavors are also reminiscent of Lowcountry recipes. Serve the roast chicken with roasted vegetables and potatoes, with mashed potatoes, or with rice. It’s also good with sweet potatoes.

southern food: seafood salad
This is another of my pescatarian recipes. It’s a great way to use leftover boiled shrimp and blue crabs. Actually, you can use any type of crabmeat in this recipe, but I think blue crabs are the tastiest of all the different varieties of crabs. In fact, I find that blue crabs are best in most of the crab recipes I make. That could just be because I’m from the South, and we can catch our own blue crabs.

Hoppin' John – one of the better-known Lowcountry recipes.
If you live in the United States, you’ve probably heard of Lowcountry recipes, although you might not be completely sure about what they are. Perhaps you’ve also seen the term presented as Low Country recipes. Lowcountry recipes are cooking techniques, ingredients, and traditions that originate in the Lowcountry. The Lowcountry is usually considered as the coastal area and small offshore islands of South Carolina, although many people also include the coast and sea islands of Georgia in the term. The name comes from the fact that this is a geographically low-lying area of flat plains, marshes, estuaries, and beaches.
Peach bourbon barbecue sauce is great on pork!
The best BBQ sauces, in my opinion, are made from southern recipes. Since barbecued pork is such a popular southern food, this isn’t surprising. The following BBQ sauce recipe is sweet and tangy, with a punch of good southern bourbon. For a spicier sauce, increase the amount of cayenne. You might also want to add some hot sauce to the recipe for extra heat.

Try this cocktail sauce recipe with steamed or boiled shrimp.
Delicious southern food extends far beyond fried chicken, and great southern recipes include lots more than biscuits and cornbread. The South also has fresh seafood, including shrimp, blue crabs, stone crabs, scallops, crawfish, clams, oysters, and finned fishes. Most of this seafood tastes great all by itself, but it’s often even better when served with a seafood sauce. For many folks, this means cocktail sauce.

southern food – corn salad
I love corn and practically all corn recipes – especially when they’re southern recipes. While hot dishes made with corn, like fried corn and corn casserole, are my favorites, I sometimes enjoy a cold corn salad. Corn salad is especially refreshing in the summer, but we actually eat it throughout the year. This corn salad includes southern food favorites like Vidalia onion, bell pepper, tomato, and hot peppers.

great southern food – BBQ sandwiches
As southern food aficionados, my family likes just about anything barbecued. And by barbecued, I mean either cooked on the grill or smoker, or cooked indoors with BBQ sauce. This recipe is for delicious barbecued beef. It’s easy to make because it’s cooked in a crock pot, so you set it and forget it. We often shred the beef just like we would with pulled pork, and use it for sandwiches.

low carb recipes: fried chicken
Yummy low carb recipes for traditional southern food? Wow, it just doesn’t get much better than this! This fried chicken is low carb because the recipe uses soy flour instead of regular flour. I also like to add some crushed pork rinds for more texture. Yes, southern recipes and low carb recipes can be one and the same!
