Got a chicken in the oven

I don't really fancy it, but I let it defrost two days ago so I have to roast it or it would have spoiled in the fridge.

 

How I do roast chicken is, I line a deep tin with turkey foil and put a wire rack on top. The foil is to collect the drippings for dipping. 

The rack suspends the chicken so it gets crispy all over. Before I roast, I place the chicken in a bag and massage a little all purpose seasoning, salt, toasted sesame oil and all-spice into the skin.

All those spices end up in the dripping which I use as spicy dip in a separate dish. Or sometimes I shred the crispy chicken and pour the spicy dripping over it to put the juicy fats back. If i do roast potatoes, I microwave them first and then quarter them to get them extra soft on the inside when the chicken's ready Smiley LOL

Ha ha, typical Petal laughing

 

I buy 1.5Kg of chicken breasts from Iceland for £5. Then I take out just what I need and roast it. No waste, no bones.



It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.

The chef at work's canteen gave me 200 packets of Knorr Japanese Miso soup with noodles and shiitake mushrooms. They were a few weeks out of date, but dried soup dosen't spoil. He was going to throw them away if I didn't take them, so I got a black bag and took the lot. I can't stand seeing food go to waste. I eat a pack or two after work each day. Each pack makes 700ml of soup Smiley LOL
