• Dinner tonight 10/7

    From Ed P@esp@snet.n to rec.food.cooking on Tue Oct 7 19:49:09 2025
    From Newsgroup: rec.food.cooking

    I've not had to cook a dinner from scratch in a week so did it tonight.
    Bought a chicken yesterday.

    Spatchcocked the chicken, seasoned, put it on the grill at about 400
    degrees.
    Put a couple of small potatoes on also. They are called Honey Gold,
    about the size of a golf ball.

    Tomato and lettuce salad.
    Sauvignon Blanc.

    I'll get four of five meals out of the chicken but not every night in a
    row. I'll break it up with something else at times. It is my favorite
    way to make a chicken. I used to use the rotisserie, but this is easier
    and maybe a bit better. Heat the grill a bit and stick in on. Done in
    about an hour.

    I had a bowl of chicken noodle soup; yes it was canned. Two mini
    brownies were dessert.

    I haven't had canned chicken soup in a few years. I actually like the condensed stuff OK, but the Chunky stuff with the slippery noodles is

    Mine was a can of the original Campbell's Chicken Noodle. I don't
    add a full can of water though and that makes it just a bit richer,
    at least it does to me.

    My wife had posole with corn chips. Me? Later.
    For us, a can of Campbell's Cream of Chicken for me, a can of Chicken
    Noodle for her and a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches consist of
    dinner, at least once a month.
    She has 3/4 can of water added. I have 3/4 can of milk added.

    I always added only about half a can, but sometimes subbing milk for water.

    I've never tried Progresso. I grew up with canned condensed Campbells,
    but as soon as I tried to make it myself, I never looked back to a can
    of chicken soup. It's easy enough to simmer bones to make a broth, out
    of a leftover rotisserie chicken, or whatever. I always have root
    vegetables stocked. I'm usually too lazy to make noodles, but I like it
    just the same with drop dumplings.

    We have a Ronco rotisserie. It works pretty well. There's a single heating element but no heat regulation. The thing just turns on and spins. Cooking is done solely by time, not temperature. It's a brilliant, simple, design. The only other appliance that cooks like that is a toaster.

    One of my wife's favourite BBQ dishes was called Indian Chicken. It was
    really simple to cook, even easier if you have a food processor. It
    calls of a medium sized onion, a couple cloves of garlic, some salt,
    pepper and cumin. Chuck it all into the FP and whizz it down to a mush.
    Smear it all over the chicken inside and out and let it sit for about an
    hour. Then put it on the spit and get it cooking. Baste occasionally
    with melted butter or olive oil.

    Sounds good to me. Our Ronco rotisserie is messy to use but it's a great way to cook. I should dig that out and cook a special meat - like a rib roast. Oh yeah.

    day and i'm getting hangry. you made it worse. lol. :)

    you're several ingredients away from the jerk chicken recipe we
    use, which is this [*] adjusted to our own tastes. have done both
    spatchcocked and on the rotisserie.

    You have to understand that the chicken skins were about to go off.
    They were already smelling funny, so they were severely reduced in
    price.

    Meat cooked on a rotisserie tends to look good. Why is that? I can't say.


    Because the fat is able to drip away and the meat gets an even
    browning.

    My wife's best friend and her husband were big time foodies back in the
    70s. He was trained by his FIL who was very meticulous. Apparently there
    was only one way to cook anything to perfection and, as persnickety as
    they were, I have to say the results were always superb. They did a lot
    of lamb and beef prime ribs. They looked for the right amount of marble
    and had to mount them on the spit a certain way so the drippings fell
    off at the right place.

    They used briquettes and started them either in a paper chimney or with
    an electric starter and the then let then burn until adhesives or
    whatever were gone. When the meat was cooked the leftover briquettes
    were tossed into an old pain can to be extinguished. The next time they
    had a BBQ and the coals ran low they would toss on some the old ones
    that had been saved so there were no new chemicals to taint the roast.

    I am incapable of cooking with such an anal approach, but I have to give
    Jon and his FiL credit for perfecting their technique because the
    results were outstanding.

    Come now Dave, you also have an "anal approach", to everything in your
    life! Don't be modest; we KNOW damn well how you are. Jon can't hold

    Been a while since I had a gathering of enough people, but a rib eye
    roast on the rotisserie is fantastic.

    The exact opposite might be true i.e., the fat doesn't get to drip away but instead, clings to the surface of the meat. It's the closest thing we got to roasting a chicken in zero gravity.

    Fried chicken *skins* and beer? Yet you constantly accuse other people

    If you have the meat suspended over the heat source or the heat source
    is around the meat and it's rotating there's no reason why the fat
    wouldn't drip away. Unless gravity behaves differently in Hawaii and
    at your house.

    It's surface tension that keeps the oil stuck on the meat. The rotation of the meat keeps the oil from building up on the bottom and dripping off.

    This must be a phenomena that only occurs in Hawaii or your kitchen.

    I asked it that knows everything. It gave a long answer, but
    summarised it at the end:


    Both happen. Surface tension and rotation keep a thin, basting film of
    fat on the meat's surface, but gravity still causes some fat to drip
    off periodically as it melts and the meat turns.

    So Hawaii-Tennessee: 1-1.
