Apples Under Chicken

"What are these Chunks under My Chicken?"

Apples....

"You're trying to Trick me!"

  Why would you put them Under my Food?!"

Big Baby moves from his chair in the living room and brings his plate to the table.... sits down, pouting and picking the apples as far away from the rest of his food as possible....

They're just apples. It's not poison. Try it.

" You know I don't like Apple Pie! What makes you think I would Eat This?"

"The chicken's Good"

Oh yeah! The Chicken's Good!

 You can always put this in the oven to roast...At about 375 for about 1/2 hour per pound.

Beautifully Roasted!

 Set it and Forget it!  What gave me time to work on this:

Soon to be Bag! Minus the Gusset, too Short! Yeah, I did that!

 I Also did this:

Burnt Bread

It set off the Fire Alarm! Oh Man! Seriously... House was full of smoke... I had the exhaust vent on full blast! Grabbing a chair, pulling it over to reach the Alarm... Trying to figure out how to turn that sucker off! No Help... Just laughing in the back ground! So, I mean really, my perfect dinner was about ready to serve and I burnt the bread! So I quickly made some more bread.
Well guess what?
Yeah I burnt that bread too! And Set the Fire Alarm off Again! (no pic, just frustration, I quit!)

Hey! Party Chickens! Throw your wings in the air! Party like ya just don't care!
Oh, what?
Oh, your too young...
Oops.
Poor, poor lil' cornish game hens....

Rinsed, patted dry and cut in half

Did you know that these lil' guys are only about 5 weeks old? I had no idea either!

So here they are covered in spice:

 A couple of teaspoons of thyme and rosemary, about 2 teaspoons of paprika and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Mixed all together with about a tablespoon of olive oil.


Now, you can put these on the grill if you like, but I put mine in the oven for about an hour at 350 degrees.

Delicious!

Goodness Gracious! Great Balls of Meat!

This revolt against chicken really leaves me helpless as to what to make for dinner. So I took out some hamburger meat. Hmm....
(poking with finger)
I don't like ground up hamburger meat. Why do they call it that anyway? Ham. burger. There is no ham in it.

So here I am again rifling through the cupboards and staring into the fridge for ideas. When suddenly...

I found this!

This was easy to make and delicious! The rest of the meal was simple too, I just added a little bit of noodles and sauce and a side of vegatables!



Yum!





Forgot about dinner Chicken!

So anyway, I forgot all about dinner, until dinner time. Thats when I opened the freezer and took out the chicken, plopped it in the sink and poked it. Yep it's frozen. So we went to Wendy's and had cheese burgers!

So It has been thawing over night ( in the fridge of course)
It has been rinsed, patted dry and sprinkled liberally with salt.
Next, Melt some butter and wash a lemon.

Mix your herbs, I used about equal parts of rosemary, thyme and sage, I would say about a teaspoon of each, i usually just guesstimate. (chop, grind and smush all together!)
Then I rub the herbs all over the chicken, put spoonfuls of butter on it it till it looks happy, then squeeze the lemon juice all over it. (And pick off the seeds!)
Oops, oh yeah, preheat your oven to 375. hehe, it's the little things....
I start mine on its belly for about an hour, then flip it over for another half... more or less depending on how big that sucker is!
Enjoy!
P.S. Baste it every once in a while!
