Some pepper adds real flavour to the meal. Tbh, food over here is so bland.
No, I love spices. I'm talking about the ones Sam's talking about. Bhut Jolokia and habaneros. No sense in eating them.

It depends on how it's cooked. Some stuff can be very spicy and flavorful.

Though I've had stuff that is crazy hot and just tastes like melting. Someone gave me some insanely hot "gag sauce" once, it was so hot I puked. That hurt so bad.
yeah, that's what I mean.

If I was a chick, I would use you just for all the different types of cuisine you cook.
Chicks fucking dig my cooking man, but Ania hates noodles and cooking chow/lo mein, Pho, pad thai is what im really into atm so when im cooking for her i have to do bloody italian or bland shit like that.

ALC the different chilis have different flavours and add different things to a dish. Bhut Jolokia has a kind of game'y taste, jalapeno's are very sweet, birds eye are a little bitter. etc. etc.

Where you trying to make a stock? Why would you poach chicken? it takes all of the moisture out.

Sam can be my butler. Dress me in the morning and cook me meals at night. In between he can entertain me with his witty banter and english accent.


I wish i'd trained as a chef, I don't see it going down well with my parents if i retrain as a chef after my MA is done.

Well I left in the fridge for about 8 hours to defrost and when I checked it was still frozen. So I defrosted it in the microwave. Then I put it to boil but I read that you shouldn't leave it for more than 10-12 minutes or the chicken gets too tough. So I boiled it for around that time and it looked cooked. I took it out and began to cut it and saw that it was still raw on the inside. Then I let it boil again for another 5 minutes. Still raw. Did that 3 times. Eventually it seemed okay, so I tore off a piece to taste it and something about it was off so I threw it away :sad:

Frozen chicken is always a funny one, tastes weird to me whenever I use it - slightly off.

But boiling chicken off the bone will kill it, it would be quicker to chop it up and fry it off in some olive oil, garlic, shallots and salt/pepper. It would taste better as well as being done quicker.

But you have to keep it frozen so it doesn't spoil?

But yeah, I'll fry it next time. Thanks :tup:

I was talking just about chicken breasts not - thighs, wings, legs etc.

I think its adviced not to keep chicken in the freezer for more than a month. But you can keep it in the fridge until the use by date, if you aren't going to eat it that day you can still bake it for about 40 mins at 170oC and it will keep in the fridge for a few more days. Its easier just to buy the stuff when you know you'll cook it. I barely eat any red meat so i always have chicken in the fridge. I have a carcass and some legs im gonna make into a pho stock tomorrow :weee:
