  1. Michael yours looks delicious but Paula may have you beat because the harder part is to actually make the homemade dumplings. If Paula follows your lead in preparing the chicken than adds her amazing dumplings she will win 🎉
    I’m enjoying this challenge. Thank you for the entertainment 🤗

  2. Watching their two videos was fun, but I have to say I’m with Paula! ❤❤Love Michael, too, but Paula is my mama that lost me at birth! I think chicken and dumplings has evolved over the years because I’ve seen a lot of recipes in old cookbooks where people did not remove the bones and skin. My mom told me that my great grandmother never took the bones and skin out of hers either but they were delicious. But if you grew up during the great depression, where food was scares, you sure, didn’t throw anything away that was edible that had calories, people may not realize it but a long time ago there was an issue with people being able to get enough calories every day. Certainly not a problem most Americans have today! 🤣 Go Paula! Homemade dumplings all the way ain’t nobody got time for that store bought! Michael’s broth looked dark, maybe from the Rosemary? Team Paula!! 🎉

  3. Chicken & Dumplings has always been my favorite dish. My grandmother & Mom would make it, with the chicken pieces left in fact, skin and bone…. that's what I thought was a it is supposed to be. When I got married and made it my husband ( Yankee) laughed asking with his family, that I hadn't removed the skin and bone. The next time I made it, I did a you, after cooking removed all bones, skin, grisel veins……it made a world of difference even though I thought my Nunny's was the best… I figure she is just a proud of me for further improvements to a wonderful dish. 😊

  4. What a riot! Did Paula cheat? 🤣😆🤣
    Can’t wait to see who wins. My vote is for Paula, but I guess we’ll see. They both have their own secrets. I like that Paula used bouillon in hers and made homemade dumplings.

  5. When I make chicken stock, I like to use backs, necks, wings and feet. In addition to the whole chicken. It makes it better. Also, I add chicken fat to the dumplings. Taste it, it makes very flavorful dumplings. And the dumplings have eggs. This dough is rolled out, cut into squares, and put into the broth. I know you can make drop biscuit dough and drop spoonfuls ontop of your thickened broth. I think my version is closer to the German version. I was taught it by my Austro-Hungarian Oma.

  6. I'm sure Paula's is tasty & she used homemade dumplings, but she did not strain her broth! She did pick the meat off the bone & picked out the skin & veins but didn't strain the broth…at least they didn't show that on video. Also she had put the liver, heart & gizzard in & it didn't show those removed. I'm with Michael, I want all the gross stuff out! 😅

  7. Of course we can't taste either dish but I'm leaning towards Michael's with the extra thigh meat, that big dose of pepper and thickening the stock with Wondra and not dairy which can take away from the pure chicken/stock flavor
