MM's Boring Chicken for The Dave

MM has inspired me to post about chicken. If you want to see her 'Boring Chicken' she makes for The Dave, visit her blog (link at bottom of my page). I actually don't cook chicken very often anymore because it is so dang boring. And it's disgusting how they are raised and killed. I am turned off of any chicken that looks too big and was raised and killed 'normally'. What is normally you ask? I don't know. But if they are abnormally large for a chicken (turkey-sized) forget it! I have discovered that Kosher chicken is really tasty. If you feel like having some boring chicken, this is the way to go. Take a whole cut up kosher chicken, bone-in and skin-on (this is important for flavor -- you may think that boneless-skinless chicken breast is the way to go, but really you may as well just eat your sauce). So take the chicken, loosen the skin but don't remove it. Rub olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt and garlic all over under the skin and then on the skin. Let it sit for an hour or several hours in the fridge. Now cook the chicken either in a dutch oven, doufeu, or on the grill. It is the tastiest chicken you will ever have!

I will have to try your boring chicken.

I agree chicken is gross to make. I'm kind of a freak about it. I got camplobacter from it once. What's camplo you ask? Basically I lost 8 pounds in two days from a bacteria on chicken. I had to report it to the state health department. Now I use about 6 sets of plastic gloves and I spray the counter with anti-bacterial cleaner at least 3 times during the cooking, seasoning process.

Sit down before you read this next question.

What is a dutch oven??
