Help, All This Chicken!!!!

22 years ago

I told my dh to get some chicken out for tomorrow and we would cook some on the grill. I didn't tell him to get it all out. Now I have a whole cut up fryer out plus a pack of wings and a pack of thighs. I can't cook all of it on the grill, it's just going to be the two of us and maybe my dd. Help, I don't want it to go to waste. Thanks Deb

Sorry I missed your post yesterday. I checked the board a couple of times but not after you posted I guess. Hope you got the help you needed at the KT...

So let's make this another question now....

What would you all have done if you had all this chicken?

it's okay Ruthie I still could use a few suggestions, I put all of it in the fridge overnight and now I'm looking at it and still am baffled!!! I know we will cook some on the grill tonight, but I'm thinking of putting some in my crockpot and making soup or something. Keep the suggestions coming. Thanks Deb

Calling All Chicken Owners - Chicken Survey

Took your survey! :) To add to it--we keep our mixed flock of chickens as pets who happen to give eggs, and also they are great as little garbage disposals for table & garden scraps--which in turn gives us better eggs and chicken poop for the garden, which they also get a chance to 'till' at the end of the growing season. :) While ours are for entertainment/pets/eggs, when I was growing up we also had some for meat, which we killed & processed ourselves. Plucking chickens isn't high on my list of 'fun things to do' but I'm glad I know how--and home-grown meat tastes awesome and is far and away better for you. I admire people who raise their own animals for table. Our daughter is now 12 and has been around chickens her whole life, her observing and participating in the life cycle (we hatch chicks every year and do our annual 'Chickam' webcast of the hatch & next 8 weeks of life 24/7 which has been VERY popular) has really helped her understand and better mesh with the world around her. As a side benefit it's also helped her with science projects and simplified 'Facts of Life' talks! Yay, roosters! :) Velvet ~:>

all clad ultimate chicken roaster
Q
Comments (2)
Here's what Cooks Illustrated has to say about the All Clad Chicken roaster. Perfection in one pan? ThatÃ¢ÂÂs what All-Clad is promising with its new Stainless- Steel Ultimate Chicken Roaster ($179.95), designed to produce flawlessly roasted chicken and vegetables from the same dish. A detachable 9-inch metal arm suspends the chicken over a small tri-ply roasting pan with handles at either end, which holds the vegetables. But while every test produced a chicken with moist, tender meat, getting crispy skin was a crapshoot. Even when trussed, bigger birds (at least 4 pounds) drooped onto the vegetables, which thwarted browning for both and drowned the vegetables in drippings. But smaller birds werenÃ¢ÂÂt perfect either: Though they cooked up with perfectly golden skin, they didnÃ¢ÂÂt weigh enough to keep the inadequately anchored arm firmly in place (at one point it even fell off, dropping the chicken into the pan). We also were disappointed with the ÃÂ¼-cup Ã¢ÂÂinfusion reservoirÃ¢ÂÂ in the arm; though we filled it with orange juice, our tasters couldnÃ¢ÂÂt detect any citrus flavor in the cooked bird. WeÃ¢ÂÂll stick with setting our favorite vertical roaster from Norpro ($27.95) in a regular roasting pan.

Hi Everyone- My daughter, Olivia, who successfully campaigned our city to change the zoning law to allow chickens last summer, needs your help. She entered a national book review contest in the USA. The finalists were chosen by the sponsoring library, but the actual winner is chosen by PUBLIC VOTE. If she wins, she gets $1000 in books for her library and $500 in books for herself. Since her school library just lost a massive amount of funding, she would really like to help them out. Olivia's video is "YOUR CHICKENS, A KIDS GUIDE" and you can watch it and vote for it on the link below. Please vote EVERY DAY from today till next Wednesday. There have been 3 other categotories and all of the winners have organized huge voting campaigns on internet bulletin boards and the like, so this is the only chance she has. In fact her closest competiton's sister already won a category.. they have an entire school district voting every day (hard to beat!!) http://www.storytubes.info/vote/final_videos.php (Personally, I think the videos should be judged on their merit rather than on how organized the kids' parents are, but apparently this is the way its done, so I am trying to help her out!!) If you would like to pass the link on to any other friends, forums, or anywhere else you think folks might like to vote, please do so. Thank you so much!! Stacey and Olivia

I would cook as much as I could on the grill and load the rest in the oven or the crock pot or even just boil it. It will be good to use in many casseroles and that sort of thing. It's nice to have precooked meat in the freezer to use on the spur of the moment.

Marinade the wings, cook them and them put them in the freezer as hot wings.
Cook thighs & rest of the chicken you cannot eat in the oven. After it's baked place in freezer bag. When used, place in crock pot with favorite BBQ sauce. It comes out so good!

Thighs cooked in the crockpot or boiled make wonderful chicken enchilada casseroles. Make the sauce with lowfat cream of chicken soup, shredded chicken, peppers and onions. Add other spices to make it as authentic as you dare. Layer on tortillas and bake. In the last 15 minutes or so, layer on cheese. Serve with sour cream and a side of rice and beans.

Boil it all up and divide it for several recipes. you could make a chicken and dressing casserole and freeze it before cooking( I use the disposable aluminum foil pans), you could also make a mexican chicken casserole,and freeze before cooking. A chicken and rice casserole, etc.....the list goes on and on. We eat alot of chicken at our house. Lots of casseroles. I usually boil up all my chicken that will not be used for grilling and make up the dishes before hand..... Freeze, and taa-daa..... no cooking on those nights that I am pressed for time due to ball games,practices, cheerleading, etc.......

Mexican casserole:

3 cups of chicken cubed
1 can of creeam of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can rotel
6 - 8 american cheese slices
4 - 6 pepperjack cheese slices
1 bag of chips (Dorito's or jsut nahco cheese tortilla chips)

Layer chips on bottom of casserole dish
Mix: chicken, soups, and rotel
pour in pan, layer cheese on top and then add more chips to cover soup mix. cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 - 30 minutes then remove foil abd bake another 5 minutes or until chips are browned. If I am going to freeze this, I usually Do not add the chips and cheese until ready to cook. I just layer soup mix in bottom of pan and cover with foil and freeze..
Hope this helps.
