Chicken Recipes

[toggleswitch]

saw this recipe for a lemon breast chicken that looked really good. I thought I would share it with others who are forced into the kitchen several times a week. Anyway, here it is:

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken (weight is dependent on how many servings are required)
1 large lemon, cut into halves
sprig of rosemary
salt and pepper to taste
butter or olive oil, whichever you prefer

Heat oven to 350 degrees

Rub butter or oil over the skin of the chicken until it is completely coated.

Take a knife and gently separate the skin from the breast meat; slide lemon halves under the skin with the peel side up. This way the juice from the lemon will coat the breast. Season skin of chicken to your preference; place sprig of rosemary into the chicken. Cover and place in oven for 30-45 minutes. Remove cover and continue to roast until juices run clear, basting every 15-20 minutes, depending on size of the bird.

If you've followed these steps correctly, your chicken should look like the one in the picture. Bon Appetit! (see below...)

Gotcha!!!! Ha Ha

candle light salad ( my grandmother's receipe) mid 1950s

Love the chicken! My grandmother actually served this at dinners! I am not going to mention how to assemble this but I will give the ingredients. Bananas (one per person) Mayo or Miracle Whip, marchino cherries, prunes and leaves of lettuce. I will never forget the look on eveyone's faces when she brought that out of the kitchen and served us each one! She had no clue the poor dear.

Cute, in a trippy, lower-my-dosage sort of way. You'd have quite an interesting restaurant, Tog

Thank goodness i love brest...

 

[toggleswitch]

So who else has creative recipes?

Later in, when this thread has peaked, I will probbly post a recipe for a cake that looks like the contents of a cat litter box.

YUM!

ah, the creative uses of Tootsie Rolls

(ducks and runs)

 

[frigilux]

OHMYGODNO!!! Not the Kitty Litter Cake! I made one for a friend's kid's birthday party and there were tears. The kids were bawling and refused to even try some. It was a complete disaster. We adults had a good laugh over it, though.

 

[frontaloadotmy]

While not appetizing in appearance

The above mentioned cake was quite tasty the time I tried it.
I didn't care too much for the tootsie roll parts. It
sat; mostly ignored.

Why do I think

Of Aunt Bee from the Andy Griffith show when I see that chicken!

 

[frigilux]

Aunt Bee as a burn victim, maybe. OK, THAT was disturbing. Sorry!

Back to the Kitty Litter Cake: Oh, it's definitely yummy, just completely disgusting from a visual/conceptual standpoint. Maybe we can get Chef Kelly (mixfinder) to make a few for his next party! (duck and run time for Eugene)

Kitty Litter Cake

I made one for a Halloween party a few years ago. It even grossed out many adults! Luckily it was dark in the room where the food was and many people didn't know what they were trying until after the party was over and clean up began!

Takes the Cake

I am happy to make the cake if someone has time to make the Tootsie Rolls.
Kelly

 

[frigilux]

Put that cute cat of yours to work, Kelly, LOL!

Never seen the kitty litter cake, but I've got a recipe somewhere for kittypoop cookies. Oh, it's a real mess, too. There are suggestions for "add-ins" depending on what disease you want the kitty to have had--coconut for worms, Fiber One for something else. Served in a litter pan, of course, with Grape Nuts as the litter. Truly disgusting and hilarious.

Also got a recipe for Diaper Cookies, perfect for a baby shower. They're little tricornered things like an old-fashioned folded diaper. The filling depends on whether the mother-to-be will be breast-feeding or bottle feeding.

Oh yeah. Disturbing. No wonder I'm never invited anywhere.

Wow, I didn't realize there were so many disgusting recipe ideas out there! Thanks for those visual images, Veg

I just had my Monday regulars over for dinner (2 toddlers and 2 infants between them), so I'm well versed in diaper contents and irrational behavior. Oh, and spitting up, too. One of the toddlers is in the middle of potty-training and he loves my power-flush toilet, so he's constantly claiming he has to go to the bathroom, just so he can flush it.

I always do a load of whites (all the kitchen towels/rags and the buffet and table cloths after dinner. The two older ones love to put the clothes into the FL'er and watch it go.

Just doing my part for future AW membership, LOL.

 

[kevinpreston8]

Why are you guys...

so surprised that no one wanted to eat that!

I LOVE tootsie rolls (I'll go through a whole "Tootsie Roll Bank" in 2 evenings if ya let me) and I love cakes. But please, those cakes are gross! I wouldn't have eaten them as a kid OR as an adult, no matter how tasty!!!

Now a Jello Skull? That is fun without being too gross. And lest I give anyone ideas, no putting in raspberries into the skull mold for brains next Halloween!

Square Meals Cookbook

I've served that same salad many times, with great success. I first found the recipe in the Square Meals cookbook, by Jane and Michael Stern. Lots of fun recipes. I did add a sliced hard boiled egg sliced in half. Their recipe also included a pineapple ring.

 

[veg-o-matic]

Square Meals is one of the best cookbooks ever written! If anyone hasn't yet become a member of the Stern Cult, it's a good place to start.

Love The Encyclopedia of Bad Taste, too.

Togs, you forgot to choke the chicken before putting it in the ove.

OK, I've never heard of kitty litter cake so how do you make one?

 

[frigilux]

Oh, dear god, I am going to culinary hell for this, but....here it is, Jason; your ticket to one of the more disgusting desserts you'll ever make. Enjoy!

 

[gizmo]

reminds me of the character from "the Vicar of Dibley" who always made awful foods for the church fetes. Once she brought a Marmite and Parsnip cake.

For the Americans - Marmite is a yeast extract spread which Aussies and English people eat on bread or toast. Vegemite is the Aussie brand name though I prefer Marmite. It looks evil - a thick black goo like old axle grease. It tastes like very salty axle grease. Well it grows on you. We Aussies think peanut butter and jam (jelly) together is disgusting.
When I was in USA in 81/82 I brought some Vegemite. One lady who tried it wouldn't make toast to eat it on so she tried it on a cracker. She screwed up her face and said "where do I spit it? It tastes like sh_t on a chip!"

[frigilux]

I picked up a jar of Vegemite at an upscale grocery in Minneapolis and you're SO right; it's definitely an acquired taste. And no, I haven't quite acquired it, yet, LOL!

Funny how every culture has its 'pet' foods that other cultures find unpalatable...

 

[jasonl]

He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich, and he said.

I've always wondered what Vegemite was even when I heard the song "down under". I had the 45 and dropped the needle at that spot over and over. "What'd he say?" "VEGEMITE?" What the hell?

 

[frigilux]

Even more than the Vegemite, I'm interested in whether or not you're going to be brave and make/consume some Kitty Litter Cake!

 

[toggleswitch]

I have a date with my nieces this coming saturday to ahem *make* it. and send my sister (their mother) to the mall and to get out!

13, 9 and 6 are their ages.

This should prove to be interesting.

 

[frigilux]

Oh, we'll definitely want pictures of THAT, Togs. Have fun!

Vegemite

For your amusement, here is the advertising jingle from the 1960s for Vegemite ... V was promoted as being a very healthy food, in fact it had really high salt content, lowered substantially over the years but still high today, the main nutrient in it is vitamin B, otherwise of little nutritional value...

Imagine black and white images of happy 1960s kids at play and marching while singing this song...

We're happy little Vegemites
as bright as bright can be
we all enjoy our Vegemite for breakfast, lunch and tea
our mummies see we're growing stronger every single week
we always love our Vegemite
we all enjoy our Vegemite
it puts a rose in every cheek!

how's that for indoctrination? I haven't heard that for 30 years plus, it's still there in the little grey cells.
