Dumbass Article About Chicken In Southern Restaurants

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?

[MoGrubb]

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.

Hot sauce. Spices.

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.

I hear that people still marry their cousins down your way too. And still resent the Union...

Is Whataburger any good? My wife and I were in Dallas over the Labor Day weekend and saw a couple, and had never heard of it before, but didn't try it.

I think boiled chicken works quite well for chicken salad--no charred taste. Probably works well because the mayo, celery, pepper and whatever else you throw in mask the boiled taste.

Varies by location. Some are great, some are lousy. 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.

Well, hell; I've boiled a chicken before. Of course, it was for chicken broth, and I didn't eat the chicken afterwards...

Oh, come now, you can admit it, you ate that bird and loved every morsel.

The thread reminded me of this chicken, and wow, it's still online after 3 years

My wife makes a mean chicken salad; she cooks it on a Forman grill. It's da bomb. Almond slices, relish, onion, celery.... yum!

[.:.impossible]

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.

Sorry, when I cook chicken I use Shake-n-Bake Original Recipe, I love it. Does that make me white trash?

What he said.

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!

Not even for chicken soup? ('Course, you only boil the carcass, after you've eaten the chicken.)

Yum yum, boiled chicken carcass.

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.

Good for you.

I would, however, boldly suggest a sauté with white wine, butter and herbs....perhaps even a bit of garlic or onion.

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.
