There’s no wrong way to cook chicken IMO.
I will save any chicken that brings me steak.
Saw that sign in Tampa last week. Gave me a chuckle.
You’re making me hungry.........but I defrosted some venison filet mignons for dinner!
Absolutely!
I love cooking chicken and finding new ways to fix it, and I always make sure I have plenty for leftover, because I enjoy finding new ways to deal with them just as much!!!
I jealous! I have to make do with left over roasted wild turkey.
My wife took first in the “Non-Professional: Entree” category of a newspaper cook-off, using a chicken recipe she came up with. It started out as a way to use left over chicken.
I had to eat the “experiments” as she worked out & recorded the exact amounts of each ingredient, to comply with the contest rules.
Such hardships we endure, in the name of research and marital bliss! Glad it was tasty, juicy, and crunchable.
YUM!!!!!!!!!
ROFL!!!!!!
You sound like my husband! The torture he endures when I'm trying out a new jam or jelly.......heeheehee!
He's getting ready to light the grill, so I best get on the stick and get the rice going..........our daughter is at a minor league baseball game with friends, so we are taking advantage of those filets when it's just the 2 of us :)

Good for you!!!!!! I hate when my husband does that — it means I have to do the dishes.
And only men can blow a week’s food budget on one meal, while using every pot, pan, and gadget in the kitchen to prepare it.
A few years ago there was a factory farm here locally who sold his property and had no use then for his thousands of young caged hens. He was going to just have them butchered for no good reason.
The local wacko rescue group stepped in and he basically said to them if you want them come and get them. The group sprung into action and put out the word - young hens to be had, charging $2 a head (so people presumably wouldn't buy them for slaughter).
Almost every single hen got adopted out. We got six of them. When the rescue got them they could barely walk and their combs were pale pale pink due to lack of sunlight, plus their beaks were cut short to prevent picking.
Now these former factory hens have normal coloring, take dirt baths with the other hens, peck about in leisure, lay their eggs, and won't be killed when they quit laying.
To me that's a rescue story with a non-wacko ending.
That’s funny!!!!
Tonight’s dinner cost probably, at most $1.50. The only purchased items used were the various condiments and seasonings I used to marinate the meat and the packed rice mix I used (and that only cost 79 cents), the green beans were from our garden and we butchered the deer ourselves.
We’re not frugal in this house, we’re downright CHEAP!!!!!
“Respect them? I love them.”
I have the utmost respect for chickens. As a raiser of laying hens, I find the chicken to be one of the most useful critters on the planet.
Eggs.
Feathers for crafts & tying flies for fishing.
Chicken Soup.
Chicken livers fried up w/bacon & onion. Yum!
Jerk Chicken.
BBQ Chicken.
Roast Chicken.
Chicken Quesadillas.
Chicken Salad Sandwiches.
Compost for the garden.
Food for the local Coyotes. (When one dies of natural causes, usually just Old Age, I take it to the end of the farm lane and give it back to Nature.)
They wake me up on time each day.
They really have a calming influence on me. I find their gentle clucking very relaxing...and they will “cuddle up” just like a dog or a cat.
An all around perfect creature. :)
“Release your chickens now, and seek salvation!!!!”
Um...you know how I get when someone tells me what to do and how to live my life.
Now, where’s my Killin’ Cone!?! LOL!
Us, too. One 12Ga shell for the turkey; the rest reasonably priced 8 meals over four days of the turkey, then boil down & a-la-king for a couple of days.
Unfortunately, we just got another 8” of snow yesterday, though mostly gone today, seemingly called by my planting snow peas last week.
Other than that, just my fall-planted garlic & the rhubarb.
Have to run; the movie starts in a half hour.
Have fun!
