It is likely that there will be a surplus of chickens for sale in the next month or two - so they may be going 'cheap'.

As I'm making a half-hearted attempt to economise at the moment, I feel that I should take advantage of this.

Although chicken is a favourite of mine, I'll get bored of it if just roasted or made into chicken curry.

For example, what would "char siu" taste like if the pork were replaced with chicken? I think it is worth a try.

Any other ideas.

This made me laugh out loud.
It's lateral thinking at it's best.
1/2 the board thinks the end is nigh and your using it as a budgeting opportunity.
Class

P.S sorry I am veggie so I haven't anything useful to add

Poulet au citron!

Chicken pieces, half a glass of white wine, half a glass of lemon juice, salt, pepper. Brown chicken in oil or butter (!), add lemon juice etc - simmer until chicken is done, thicken with arrowroot or cornflour (don't want it too brown). Very nice!

Add more wine if it looks too dry.

Cut into strips if using breast, but small joints work well too.

Mix up the juice of 2 limes & 1 lemon, garlic, chili powder & balck pepper and olive oil. Marianate for as long as posible. ( 3 hours minimum)

I like this on a Bar B Q, but is lovely cooked inside. Serve with jacket potatoes & Salad

PS its a really tangy chicken that makes your maouth water as you eat it & leaves a bite afterwards.

That's similar to what I'm having tonight - I will have it with naan bread (rather than pitta) and serve with salad ... I don't use as much lime though and add a bit of soy sauce ....

Chiken paprika is lovely and dead easy, chicken works ok in place of beef in a stroganof, coq au vin is a classic, chilli made with either minced or cubed chicken is good, adding chicken to a roasted vegetable pasta bake works well, jerk chicken is dead easy if you have a blender, stuffed chicken breasts wrapped in pancetta are a nice alternative to roast.. I've got loads if you want the recipe to any of them just ask.

My favourite thing to do with chicken is the following:

Take one large, plucked and dressed chicken.

Insert 12mm diameter wooden dowel into the parson's nose, pass through the chicken so that about 300mm protrudes from either end

In a large container (large enough to take the chicken and dowel) place:

250 ml of light soy
250 ml of rice wine or dry sherry
5 chopped garlic cloves
20 mm piece of fresh ginger, grated
5 ml spoon of chinese 5 spice powder
5 ml ground white pepper

Cover and marinate overnight

Light a barbecue and wait until the coals have turned white.

Brown the chicken on all sides, then raise the grill so that the chicken cooks thoroughly without burning. Using a skewer, pierce the chicken near the leg, if the juices run clear, then it is safe.

Take chicken from barbecue

Remove dowel

Throw chicken in the bin

Eat the stick

IMO chicken is nothing more than a feathered rat

I love Harry Hill!! Can't believe the series has ended....boooo.

Anyway, chicken recipes - there was this good one I tried on the back of a porridge oats packet and its basically chicken with a white sauce with some peas and carrots and then topped with a crunchy porridge oat topping. Its nicer than I just typed.

Most dishes that require pork can be substituted with chicken so chicken char sui would be fine.

If you are budgeting, this is a good mega cheap recipe ......

Chicken
Tinned chopped tomatoes
Garlic
Herbs (oregano or basil or mixed)
<or you could just buy tinned toms that have garlic & herbs in>
Water (eyeball amount, its just to make up the sauce amount)
Red Pepper
Onion

Start to roast chicken
Chop onion & peppers and saute
Add garlic (if using fresh)
When sauted nicely, add tinned toms & herbs and let simmer for about 5 mins
When chicken has cooked for about half hour, pour over chicken and bake til cooked

Serve with boiled rice.
