[SO] I have a bunch of chicken sitting around

like 5 bone in skin on breast tig ole bitties.

so I'm preparing each of them a different way.

one gets a dry rub,
onion, garlic powders
smoked paprika
smoked chili powder
chiptole chili powder
salt
cracked pepper
white pepper

and then it was bbq'd with a semi-home made sauce, took some jack daniels sauce, mixed in sweet babby rays, some white wine balsamic reduction sauce bushed on in the last few minutes it was on the grill

teh rubbed



the next one, well I just boiled it and I'm not sure just yet what I'll do with the cooked pieces...maybe cut up and used in sandwiches?

as a bonus I now have some good stock woohoo



the next one was marinated in greek yogurt, cucumber and dill with salt and pepper thrown in for good measure

this one will be bbq'd with indirect heat, and served with pitas yay



and that leaves 2 more chickens that will be pan seared, roasted and served with a pan sauce, shoestring potatoes and broccolini.

final pics plz

the greek marinated one is on the grill now, the dry rubbed one already got eated so I could take a pic of my poops lol

take the ones you boiled and remove them from the bone and shred them with a fork. rewarm them with your bbq and make pulled chicken sandwiches. or, make a mornay sauce and rewarm the shredded chicken in that, then use to stuff savory crepes.

this thread got me all dry rubbed

ooo snap, I like the crepe idea

also

made the pitas last night





(oh shitty pic)

add some fresh tarragon to the chicken and mornay

I made the same thing last night, but added a nice line of ketchup to the pita

fucking ketchup

lately with chicken I have either been doing Jerk on the BBQ, or I will pan steam with aromatics to make pulled chicken for soft tacos.

ok did the roast last night, was delicious!

started out with by julienning some celery, pea pods and carrot, the potato will be made into show strings and the garlic and onion are for a sauce (that's later though)



reconstitute some porcini mushrooms over a very gentle simmer



pan sear a chicken breast in a cast iron skillet, and baste with mushroom water




place vegetables into the mushroom water and boil



braise the chicken some more (pan tilted over very high heat and just removed from the oven where it was roasting)



veggies removed and set aside



potato julienned thin




a cheese sauce made



and our vegetables are placed into it



now in the pan we roasted the chicken in is deglazed with white wine and the remainder of the mushroom water, garlic, onions and the reconstituted porcini mushrooms are added and it is reduced by half (or so)



and finally,



chicken placed on a bed of shoe string potatoes and smothered in the "gravy", the vegetables served inside a puff pastry cup with a cheese sauce.

oh and this morning, some left over chicken (the yogurt and a little of the boiled) were shredded and then mixed with mayonnaise, thyme, chives, walnuts, pecans, a little salt and pepper and celery to make a chicken salad

that was served on rosemary gralic bread with cheddar cheese and some red lettuce
