I’ll give you that- chicken is very real. When you look at it, you know exactly what you are getting. When you eat beef or pork, you’re eating a slab of an animal. It’s easy to forget it even comes from an animal. It just seems like a product. With chicken it’s like here’s his wing. “The thigh bone connects to the leg…

I used to throw table scraps to my aunt’s chickens. They would fight over chicken bones. This unsettled 9 year old me.

I know that I am not going to change your mind, but- undercooked chicken will have pinkish juice. Properly cooked chicken will have clear juice. Overcooked chicken will have no juice. Dry chicken is a crime against humanity, IMO, but I hate tomatoes, so I understand how it is.

Wow there is so much chicken breast hate here, I’m so confused. My grocery store constantly runs out, I must live in some sort of chicken breast lover colony. I probably have a baked chicken breast with dinner 4 nights a week, I thought that was a normal dinner. I feel like I’m back in elementary school discovering…

Actual dirty yardbirds:

I expended this thread just so I could star everyone who disagreed with you.

It’s only when you talk about food that you really get to know your neighbors and then realize that you should be horrified.

i have avoided this by using Paprika. it’s a recipe mgmt app, and you copy/paste a recipe URL and it’ll upload the recipe sans the blogger bullshit that ALWAYS comes before recipes for some reason.

Damn right. Something about soy and garlic combined makes into flavor euphoria.

shout out to your homeland for chicken adobo. that recipe changed my life

i had to star for your bravery in admitting this.

You people need friends that can cook, apparently. I’m going to cook you all dinner. It’s going to be chicken, and you’re going to love it.

You’re right. The moment I tasted chicken outside of the US (via a really tasty chicken noodle soup on a cold day in Cusco, Peru), I literally said out loud “holy shit this is what chicken is supposed to taste like.”

Sure, Madeleine.

It’s probably mainly due to our crappy U.S. factory farming practices. Which are hell on the chickens while they’re alive, too. They’re also inbred but I think the bigger problem is how they’re raised and the garbage they’re fed.

I bet that’s actually a tiny dog of some sort.

Rotisserie chicken is the shit though

Like what the fuck, El Pollo Loco is one of the only good fast food chains there is

I’ve had chicken in Japan, France, and in my homeland the Philippines, and I can tell you there’s something definitely wrong with American chicken. It’s weirdly tougher and gamier than from other countries, and sometimes unreasonably larger. Much blander too; like how steak is prized for its meatiness/umami flavors,…

We raise chickens. They are gross, but adorable. And delicious!
