Some worship the mighty steak, while others go with the hog, and then there are the veggies and vegans...I won't even get into that. If you ask me, the chicken will always rule. I'm not talking about a dry, flavourless breast on a plate with some steamed vegetables, I mean crispy skin, juicy meat and delicious stock. I love roasting a whole chicken or pieces and then shamefully stand over the stove and picking the gooey, greasy and salty bits on the bottom of the pan...absolutely divine! What about wings!? Beer would be really lonely without those spicy and crispy morsels. Chicken...roasted, sauteed with veggies, tossed in honey garlic, cream sauce, stews with dumplings...the possibilities are endless.
I dedicate this page to chicken and all those who love it. These are just a small handful of my favourites, with many more to come. Just click on the photo for the recipes!
ROASTING A WHOLE BIRD
Roasting a whole chicken is one of the easieast things you can do. I've seen alot of cooking shows and read as many cookbooks, and they'll all give you really elaborate recipes on how to acheive roasted perfection. Starting with a hot oven then lowering the temp, slathering the bird with butter (even under the skin) These are good ways to cook a chiken, but not necessary. This is the easiest way and it will be the BEST you have ever had, I guarantee it!
STOVETOP WINGS
I absolutely love bennies!! There is something great about the combination of egg yolk, hollandaise sauce and just about anything in the world. I use a blender for the hollandaise, which I adore, because its virtually idiot-proof and easy. No need for clarified butter, whisking until your arm feels like it's going to fall off, the sauce separating...a pain in the ass and you won't be able to tell the difference.
MORE TO COME...
