1. Natural Selection. nt

[david13]

2. KFC. Grilled. Or, Pollo Loco, 3 piece. May I have the 3 piece?

Yes. For here or to go?
Or, Pollo Inka.

[question everything]

40. I love the Koo Koo Roo

is it still around?

[LostInAnomie]

3. Make them do what?

[rug]

4. Transform from brainless bipeds into delectable protein.

[LostInAnomie]

11. Same way you cook a lobster.

:evilgrin:

[madinmaryland]

5. Nice try, but the best way is to get it from the Olive Garden in NYC!

[rug]

6. They threw me out when I asked if they could cook it sous vide.

As well they should.

[KamaAina]

28. I'll bet they can cook it with corn flakes, though

and with unlimited :popcorn: to boot!

[madamesilverspurs]

7. My fave ...

Boneless chicken breast, tenderized, layered with thinly sliced ham and Monterey Jack cheese, rolled up, dipped in melted butter, rolled in Italian seasnoned bread crumbs, baked at 375 for 35 minutes. Ymmmmmmmm

21. That sounds too good to be true. nt

[liberaltrucker]

8. Southern fried

yummy!

[csziggy]

20. Yes - the best way, but too fattening. 8-(

Cut it into portions, soak overnight in buttermilk, season (with salt, pepper, paprika {smoked is best} and whatever else you like), dredge in flour, then in egg, then in four again. let it sit for a few minutes while you heat about half an inch of shortening melt and get up to 350F. Brown one side to golden brown, turn and brown the other side. It should be done by the time the coating is perfectly brown. If not, bake for a few minutes at 350 F in the oven until it is done all the way.

26. Yep

I don't eat baked or broiled chicken. UGH!!!

[azmouse]

9. Panko bread crumbs

[datasuspect]

10. the last one sounds kinda fancy

it's not special frying is it?

[rug]

12. I think it involves a vacuum cleaner.

[bluedigger]

13. Sous vide

If it's good enough for Amtrak, it's good enough for me!:D

[Moondog]

14. Spatchcock

that bastard, marinate or dry rub it as you prefer, and then slow grill it. Yum.

[rug]

15. Spatchcock?

But it's a hen.

[Moondog]

16. It is a butchering / cooking technique.

Basically, you split the fowl up the middle along the back / breastbone. This allows you to lay the entire bird out flat. Cooks much faster, and more evenly. Looks like a squashed toad, when done this way. Anyway, if you want to grill, broil, or bbq an entire bird, get it done pretty evenly and much more quickly, spatchcock it. Google the term; I'm sure instructions are out there. Takes longer to read about it than it takes to do it.

17. Thanks for the info. I wonder if Rabrrrrr is aware of this.

[county worker]

18. Well you get a rooster and a hen and put them together in the chicken coop.

[BlueJazz]

45. Ahh!....beat me to it!

:)

[Mojambo]

19. I really only like it grilled. n/t

[applegrove]

22. I've breaded Chicken in bran. It was kinda odd but healthy I guess.

[Catshrink]

23. Go to Costco. Buy a rotisserie chicken.

$6 all cooked and ready to eat. Can't beat it.

[Generic Brad]

24. Chicken sex

A rooster told me.

[triguy46]

25. For frying? Just flour. For something different:

Cut up a fryer the way you prefer. Take 2 sweet potatoes and cut into French fry size. Take 2 red onions and cut into rings. Toss all with EVOO to coat, salt and pepper. Put on cookie sheet and bake at 425 for 40-45 minutes. Very tasty.

[quakerboy]

27. you start with a male chicken and a female

Play some barnyard sounds, and let what comes natural occur.

[question everything]

41. Oh god, I almost chocked laughing (nt)

[Deja Q]

29. Barry Manilow music

:yoiks:

[rcrush]

30. choke it

[Amerigo Vespucci]

31. When the chicken's undercover, yell THAT'S A CHICKEN and blow their cover

Once the chicken's made, the operation's shut down. At least that's what most of my felon friends tell me.

[AlienGirl]

32. Over the flames that will inevitably result from this thread! nt

[Gormy Cuss]

33. Get a rooster together with a hen. n/t

[Sebastian Doyle]

34. Well first you need a big cock

[lutefisk]

43. Holy crap... that one's huge! . . . n/t

42. Wonder why

I don't know what happened in 2006 but this thread is hilarious.

[Lethe]

36. roast it with rosemary, thyme, lemons, with a foundation of carrots, onions, and fennel

then you got the dark and white meat and some crispy skin.

[MajorChode]

37. Coq au vin

The only problem is you can't find even a decent stewing chicken in the US anymore, much less a rooster. It's just not the same without one.

[donheld]

38. That's between a Hen and a Rooster!

[Quantess]

39. Pour a can of enchilada sauce over chicken pieces and bake it in the oven.

Red or green enchilada sauce.

Bake it in the oven for a couple of hours, until the meat is about to fall off the bone.

Serve it with rice.

[Orsino]

44. Threaten the chicken's family?

Blackmail? Bribes?

[cleveramerican]

46. Diced in a walk with butter and apricot jam

get the pan nice and hot, add the butter, stir fry the pieces

add the jam at the last minute.

serve over white rice

sorta like poor mans sweet and sour chicken.
