need help with dinner

[mountain muscle]

Try this out....
Get a large pyrex baking dish big enough to fit all of the chicken in or two if necessary. Remove all the skin and fat from the pieces and put them in a freezer bag. Crush about 10-15 cloves of garlic and put them in the bottom of the pan then the chicken on top. Lightly salt,pepper the chicken and thro in some oregano as well. Cut up 1.5 tablespoons of butter and spread them out over the pieces. Spinkle some olive oil over the top of the chicken. Take OJ and fill the pan so that most of the chicken is covered with it. Cook on 350 degrees for about 2.5-3 hours. The chicken should easily fall off the bone and most of the oj will cook off as well. It is a great recipe. Butter is optional, I usually just use the olive oil. Save all the bones fat, and leftovers in the freezer bag for later.. it makes a great soup stock.
If the little one doesn't like this recipe buy him some hot dogs and send me his portion.
Let me know what you think of the recipe.

I forgot to mention you can add celery and onions to the mix if you want as well adds a nice little touch of flavor.

Sorry didn't realize I was signed in under my alt...Had to use it until they straightened out my account. good luck bro.

yogurt, lime, coriander, garlic (small amount finely chopped), chilli (however much you like), cover the chicken and cook, save some sauce for pourng over the chicken or dipping potato wedges in (do you want a recipie for these)

 

[Buddy_Christ]

tuc - hell yeah i'll take the recipie for the potato wedges. that sounds pretty good actually.

how much yogurt and lime are we talking? fresh coriander? (i can't even remember what it looks like.....)

gonna have to run to the store shortly to get everything. cook for an hour at 350 i imagine?

 

[SoreArms]

fresh coriander? (i can't even remember what it looks like.....)

In California, we call it cilantro. Maybe that'll help you.

 

[Buddy_Christ]

i know what cilantro is!

MM - your recipie sounds pretty good as well. gonna have to save that one and give it a whirl next weekend. don't have time to do that one now because it's already 230 here. sounds good though, and chicken is always cheap (and good). i'm gonna utillerize that recipie.

 

[tuc biscuit]

just a bit of yogurt (a container) few squeezes of lime (2 limes maybe) and some fresh coriander


I do my potato wedges like; first cut them into wedge shapes, boil for about 15 minutes so they go softish, then you can either cover with olive oil and bake on a tray on a medium heat for about 30 minutes or until cooked, or deep fry them.......you can add one of those sachets of spices if you like.


for the chicken just enough to cover the chicken generously, bake on a medium heat for like 30-40 minutes or until cooked, save some sauce for pouring over them or dipping lol


hope you enjoy

16oz container of plain yogurt sound about right for 4 1/2 lbs of chicken?

i might deep fry those potato wedges after boiling them. i have a deep fryer and i know how to use it

 

[Buddy_Christ]

ok, it's in the oven. (Tuc's recipie)

put a bit too much cilantro in it. forgot how powerful that stuff was. ended up using all 32oz of yogurt to help dull it down. also, only used one whole lime as it added more than enough punch to it and the mixture was getting kind of runny. needed some salt and pepper in the mix too, and can't taste the garlic (although i know the flavor will spread while it's cooking).

gonna opt for the "healthy" potatoes and bake 'em. don't feel like adding another source of heat to the kitchen with the fryer. that and my son will get excited thinking we're gonna have fries then be disappointed when we have potato wedges.

hope this turns out good. i'm hungry.

coat it in sugar and chocolate and hell bite

 

[Buddy_Christ]

eh, sometimes he eats it when it's coated in BBQ sauce just right. depends on his mood really.

still cookin. 15 minutes was WAY too long for the potatoes to boil...i only did them for about 10 and they were still soft as hell. got them in the oven coated with some spices and olive oil.

chicken smells pretty good. peeled the skin off and fed it to one of my dogs. male will eat it, raw or cooked, female won't touch it, yet she wants the skins just cause i'm giving them to my male.

lots of fat floating around in that casserole dish. shouldn't of used so much lime so the mix would stay thicker and sit on the chicken longer. oh well. should all be done in about 20 minutes.

i'm hungry!
