My Mam once told me that she and I are very similar in many ways, but none more so than our inability to understand why people just don’t think like we do. I don’t understand why somebody would scream that they hate liver but claim to love pate. I don’t understand why people wouldn’t dream … Continue reading HARISSA CHICKEN ESCALOPES
Eating chicken wings is and always has been somewhat of a personal moment for me. Chicken wings will always provide me with a comfort for the days when elegant eating is not my priority objective. Well… honestly speaking, it never is, but sometimes I just want to dive five head first into it. Designed to … Continue reading BISQUICKEN (BISCUIT CHICKEN WINGS)
There are many things that I treasure about my relationship with my boyfriend. High on that list, is that he will not touch any chicken that is served on the bone. Great. Cos that’s my favourite bit. If we had to fight over the grissly boney bits of the chicken, I doubt we’d even be … Continue reading CUBAN BEAN SOUP WITH SHREDDED CHICKEN
I’m going to take you to a real dark place right. Prepare yourself. Imagine a world where the chicken wings are dry and unseasoned. Imagine it. Fear it. Now let’s make sure that world stays in the depths of the worst imagination and that our chicken wings stay juicy forevermore. I would never put an … Continue reading ORANGE & BLACK PEPPER BRINED WINGS WITH BUFFALO SAUCE
It’s my 30th birthday. And in true, pretentious food blogger form – I’m about to compare it to a risotto. Because I’m THAT much of a dick. No I’m not going to go into the ridiculous depth of comparing my actual life to some creamy rice grains, but I am going to reference a quote … Continue reading ROSEMARY CHICKEN & PROSECCO RISOTTO
I remain true in my belief that there is no bad way to eat chicken. At all. Roasted with a humble offering of rosemary butter (like this recipe here) or smothered in a hot sauce and eaten by hand (like so), I refuse to slow down or tame my love for chicken in all of … Continue reading TANDOORI CHICKEN WITH COCONUT RAITA
I believe it was in a previous recipe post that I crowned my mother the Queen of Sandwiches. Yes I did. It was here. I’ve now decided to fly in on a dragon and challenge her for the crown. Sure, like Cersei before her I’m sure she’d stand there confidently with a glass of wine, … Continue reading CHICKEN BANH MI
Whenever I am away from my Kitchen for an extended period, I always start missing it like a family member. I start feeling like I’ve neglected it. Like it’s pining for me. Like it’s waiting for me to respond to a text that I’ve left on two passive aggressive blue ticks. I’ve had a manic … Continue reading SCRATCH BREADCRUMB & BACON PASTA
I’ve been baking chicken and rice together for quite some time. The comfort of knowing 2/3rds of my meal is tinkering away in the oven when all I then need to do is rustle up some veg on a stove top provides a comfort I welcome with both arms. But this version, with the spooky … Continue reading ONE PAN BAKED CHICKEN & BLACK RICE
I’m disgusting. There is no other word that comes to mind quicker when I think of a descriptive word for my appetite, other than disgusting. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not an adjective I scoff at or am ashamed of, but ultimately I do have a disgusting appetite. There are no food groups I ostracise … Continue reading CHILI & GARLIC SALT CHICKEN CRACKLING
MIKEY AND THE KITCHEN.
