Pretty standard stuff here today, but who doesn’t love a simple chicken stew, am I right?! Although my plan was never to make this today. The tomato sauce I used as the base was made the day before and was meant for spaghetti, what else, right?? The super greens were the consequence of lacking parsley […]
I remember growing up and having amazing roasted chicken every Christmas. I loved every time Christmas came around… are you kidding me… gifts and ROASTED CHICKEN. Best case scenario for any non-vegan kid. To this day I’m grateful but it also gave me a warped idea about certain aspects of cooking. As if roasting a […]
Why hello! It’s been a minute hasn’t it? It’s about 3 hours from 2025 and I thought I’d check in and wish you a Happy 2025. I have a long list of comments I have to get back to so apologies for the long silence… it’s been I don’t know.. maybe 4 years since I […]
Alright, it’s almost midnight on Dec 31. Time to wrap it up for the year 2019. I figured I’d cook something completely different from what I usually cook during the holidays. Don’t ask me how I ended up with this choice (drunken internet browsing for sure) but I’m extremely happy I did and to be […]
This is not the most common way of roasting a chicken but is definitely one of my favorites although I save it mostly for special occasions. Just because it does take extra time and extra effort that a traditionally roasted chicken wouldn’t require. What’s the point of going through all this extra effort just to […]
Another quick and easy spatchcocked chicken recipe on the grill for those of you with gas grills at home that are interested in smoking foods. I did alter a few things from my previous cook and it paid off. First, I bought a V-shaped smoker box for my Weber grill and I got better performance […]
I just got into smoking (the cooking kind) and have been smoking foods for nearly 3 months now (since Aug 2017), briskets, round tips, chucks, and chicken. It’s really fun and when I get it right it is incredibly delicious. As time-consuming as it may be (not so much for chicken but definitely for tough […]
I haven’t found a lot of information on the matter. Seems a bit odd considering how much importance people give to the “cook until juices run clear” rule in a time when sous vide cooking is becoming more popular but maybe that’s just me not crawling the web more thoroughly. If you’ve seen any good source of info let me […]
This is a really fun one to try and it’s delicious. I usually cook a bunch of them and store them. They can be refrigerated for days and months if you freeze them as long as you keep them in the vacuum sealed bags. A quick sear it’s all it takes just before serving and you’re […]
If there is such thing as purpose in life, the purpose in the life of chicken would definitely be becoming fried chicken. Hmmm, that was probably a bit harsh, but hey, it’s my honest assessment of what happened to most chickens I’ve met. If you like eating chicken, fried chicken is one of the most delicious things […]
