Kalo Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 I'd be more inclined to bitch about the AP's "journalistic standards"... That would be like bitching about Santa Clause... Or the taste of boiled chicken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoGrubb Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 I can't stand the smell of chicken boiling, damn it stinks. That's probably why I don't eat it boiled because the smell carries over to the table. Now, collards are another thing, they stink, but ooohh what a lovely stinking taste.

RDK Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Yeah, but that's Left Coast vs East Coast. Here in The South, we only know fried chicken, and this new grilled chicken ain't something we wanna know anything about. We're too insulated for all that fancy stuff. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I hear that people still marry their cousins down your way too. And still resent the Union...

Probably works well because the mayo, celery, pepper and whatever else you throw in mask the boiled taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a lot more consistent back in the 60s & 70s before they became omnipresent. But a well-made, fully loaded triple-triple is one of those things you can't get anywhere else that you wish you could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Well, hell; I've boiled a chicken before. Of course, it was for chicken broth, and I didn't eat the chicken afterwards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Alfredson Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 My wife makes a mean chicken salad; she cooks it on a Forman grill. It's da bomb. Almond slices, relish, onion, celery.... yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:.impossible Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I boil, and par-boil chicken all the time. I don't think you can blame boiling chicken for blandness... probably the best way I can think to cook juicy chicken. I think you are over-cooking and under-seasoning it.

As far as burgers go, I would call it the gourmet of fast-food burgers: you can definitely get better (did someone say Chapps? MMMMMmmmmm!!!!!), but they're better than any of the other fast-food chains down here. It's definitely a Texas thing. My son could eat there every day, every meal if given the chance. Heck, he wants to own his own franchise someday! Edited September 17, 2007 by Big Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free For All Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 (edited) Best chicken soup: boil the bird (I usually remove most of the skin, but I leave the "giblets"), then remove the meat from the bones and strain the broth (you can also let it cool and strain the fat, but eliminating the skin before cooking makes this step less critical), toss in the veggies (celery, carrot, onion and whatever else you like) and some noodles (I like those homemade egg noodles) return the meat to the pot, season, simmer and kiss that cold goodbye. Good eatin'! My other favorite chicken recipe is to cook it in the crockpot. I usually put in a little chicken broth and some onion soup mix, plus some other seasonings, sometimes some wine. When it's done I'll strain the broth, make a flour & butter roux, add some of the broth and some milk and create some kick-ass gravy. If you like, you can also use the giblets in the gravy- I usually chop 'em up and saute 'em a bit. Best with mashed potatoes and green beans IMHO. Sometimes I'll start it before going to bed, and I wake up when it starts smelling good. Edited September 23, 2007 by Free For All Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never in the past nor do I intend in the future to boil a chicken! Good for you. I would, however, boldly suggest a sauté with white wine, butter and herbs....perhaps even a bit of garlic or onion.

.:.impossible Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I think y'all are boiling the chicken for way too long... boiling chicken in a light stock, then seasoning and searing it on a grill or grill pan is hard to beat. Some of the juiciest meat you can eat! Take a seat. Enjoy a treat. Stomp yo feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
