Little Help Please

Now we're cookin! Thanks guys, I have saved these recipes and will be trying them soon.

Nutrax - what would we do without you?

I like roasted or fried chicken. Any chicken cooked too long becomes bland.

Spicy apricot chicken... NOT the disgusting '70s version.

roughly chop 1 onion & a few garlic cloves & put them in a casserole dish.

Remove excess fat from chicken thighs, leaving skin on & arrange on top of the onion skin side up.

Slice a green pepper, halve a handful of dried apricots & quarter a handful of dried peaches, then scatter them between the thighs.

Do likewise with some dried birds eye chilis, season with black pepper & add chicken stock mixed with a little cornflour & a pinch of ground ginger to almost cover the thighs.

Cover with alfoil & cook 1 hour at 180C. Remove alfoil & continue cooking until juice is reduced to half. The exposed skin should be crispy & the sauce reasonably thick.

Serve on top of mashed spud with LOTS of the sauce & accompany with al dente steamed broccoli.

This is my own recipe & I've served it to many friends & basked in their accolades!

Henning - I also like roasted or fried chicken. My family on the other hand will only eat roasted chicken if accompanied by a dipping sauce and hates fried chicken.

Phoggi - that also sounds really good, although we are quite fond of ginger so I'll probably add more than a pinch. Thanks!
And - my family hates broccoli so I'll probably serve a salad with it.

Chicken Caesar wrap, simple but delicious.

Phew! When I saw Dave Thomas was here I thought I was going to get a Wendy's chicken sandwich recipe. ;)

That looks good too Dave. Although I would use grilled chicken instead of canned. Same as I do for a chicken Ceasar Salad.

Thanks!

Canned chicken !?!

Who knew.

I actually used it once in a recipe. It wasn't as bad as I was afraid it would be, just bland. Grilled chicken adds much more to the flavor.

So do you have a good chicken recipe tony?

I bought some boneless and skinless chicken thighs a few days ago, sashac. I froze them but I intend to defrost on Sat night and stuff them with Boursin (French cream cheese with a touch of garlic and herbs), chopped bacon and leeks and roast them on Sunday. I'll serve with Jersey Royal potatoes (which are superb but have a very short season), a chicken jus and another veg yet to be decided.

I also like chicken thighs - skinless but on the bone - in curries. I often make a pathia: a sweet, sour, hot dish.

Ginger root, garlic, tomatoes, various spices, chili, lime, sugar, salt. I don't usually add sugar or salt to curries but the lime needs salt and sugar methinks.

Chicken and egg curry laced with spinach is good too!

Have you tried Thai railway station chicken? Bash up some scraped, chopped coriander root with garlic and salt and rub it all over the chicken, then rub in some palm or brown sugar and a bit of fish sauce and leave four hours. Grill the chicken and serve with a sweet chilli dipping sauce. Buy from your supermarket or search on here for a complicated recipe I gave years ago.

Awesome!
