Food rave of the day: chicken

[MissMillie]

If you told me I was going to die tomorrow and asked me what I wanted to eat tonight, I'd say "roasted chicken."

My favorite way to do a roast chicken is to marinate it for a full day in white wine, olive oil, rosemary, garlic and onions (salt & pepper, of course).

Then I cut a lemon in half and stuff it into the cavity of the bird and roast away.

The carcass makes the most amazing chicken stock.


I've also been known to gently lift the skin on the breast up and layer things under it like thinly sliced ginger or thinly sliced jalapenos.

Versatile food. Delicious and easy to cook.

Let's hear it for CHICKEN!

How do you like it best?

1. I love chicken. You can cook it in so many different ways and they are all good.

I made some chicken noodle soup with homemade noodles for my granddaughter a couple of weeks ago while she was home on leave. She was thrilled and was even able to recall the last time I had made it for her.

7. Love all the choices. Lately I've been making chimichangas with chicken

and following this Chef John recipe (warning: he's addictive. I love him and have spent so much time watching his food videos):

I've also been making chicken/vege egg rolls by putting one chicken breast in the food processor and then sauteing it with all the veges like cabbage, shredded carrots, etc. So good.

Chicken is so versatile and yummy.

I really like your food rave posts, MissMillie!

9. I don't care what anyone says;

KFC is #1 in my book as far as fried chicken goes. It's too bad that there are apparently no KFCs in Humboldt County where I am staying. I think there is a Church's in Eureka, but their chicken IMO tastes generic compared to KFC. Most of the stuff at Church's chicken is way greasier, and the skin tastes weird. I do like their biscuits, though.

14. One of SF's best restaurants features roast chicken as its signature dish

Zuni on upper Market St. It even has its own cookbook, which means the chicken recipe has gone viral!

18. Depends on my mood that day.

I make a mean chicken noodle soup.
Fried Chicken is so awesome if done well. Heck, I wanted to do a Fried Chicken Restaurant crawl in the DMV.
I've been loving Chicken Pot Pies and Chicken a la King
Tamarind Chicken

There is just so many ways to enjoy chicken.
