Be Excellent To Each Other

Stick your oven on at 180 Celcius, get some chicken (Breasts, thighs, whatever), say 250 grammes worth for 2 people. Drop that in a pyrex rectangular dish thing. Get a lemon, squeeze the juice out, keep the husk. (PROTIP: sticking a lemon in a microwave for a minute makes it easier to squeeze if you don't have a squeezer). Stick the lemon juice in a bowl. Add one tablespoon of honey. Mix it up. Pour that over the chicken. Add two sprigs of rosemary or thyme, and also add the lemon husks which you've cut up into 6ths or so. make it look nice. Season with sea salt and black pepper (Sea salt is a bit chunkier than normal salt)

Slam it in the oven for 40 minutes or so, until the chicken is cooked. When that's done, pour the juices off, boil it up, then simmer for 5 minutes, before pouring back over. Season some more if you want to. Serve with whatever you want, but i did it with roasted vegetables yesterday and it was good

Mmmm that sounds yummy! And rather healthy too, as long as you don't go mad with the honey.

I shall point Mr GJ in the direction of this thread immediately!

Would you like it adding to the other recipies thread Mali?

Yeah, go on. Please, that would be nice.

Where was this when I needed to cook something yesterday?
I'll bear it in mind for next time.

EditStalked you here already then?

Mmmm, honey-glazed chicken! Noms! My mum does stuff like this, I can confirm it is very nice

On another sweet-substance vein: I like doing my parsnips with syrup-tastes loverly

Mrs Metal found a jar of peanut butter with honey flavouring... tis nice.

Forty minutes? WTF are you cooking this in, a Fisher Price oven? If I did that in my oven for 40mins it would be like Dunlop Dap soles

I've been dabbling with frying chunks of chicken breast in cinnamon and icing sugar lately. It's very tasty.

Are you guys all 30st or something? I'm putting on weight reading these recipes.

12st

But probably well on my way to diabetes.

*Mimi's interest levels up by 76%*

Peanut butter goes with Marmite. Only.

No, because Marmite is the bedfellow of cheese, clearly.

Yuch, are you insane? It's Branston pickle with cheese.

It's from these guys: http://www.ilovepeanutbutter.com/

I think she got it from Tesco.

Honey makes EVERYTHING nice*. What I wouldn't give for a case of Sleeman's Honey Brown beer right now.

*well, almost

I am allergic to Branston pickle.

I might even go to Tesco to look next week!

Joans - you are an idiot.

Everyone else - I have kust read through 50 pages of thread titles, but found no dedicated cooking thread. There have been a few others such as the Mali-curry thread, Gaywood suggesting a seperate forum, CUS doing the same months before him, Craster asking about cooking blogs, threads about fod we waste, and the excellent thread about CG money saving month of foodage.

So, either I'm bline (to be fair my eyes do feel like they might start to bleed now) or we don't actually have one.

Suggestions peeps?

What did I do?

Also, Kalmar appears to have something for you.

I suggest a new recipe thread, with links to this one and the malicurry thread.

Kalmar = Acebest.

says the mod who has double-posted and hasn't even removed one of them.

I didn't like to kick her when she was down by pointing that out.

Edit - Also, after Kalmar's hard work in finding the other thread, she hasn't even added this recipe after offering to do so.

np yummy mummy!

(OMG. Sorry)

Would you believe there's no way for a mod to duplicate a post in another thread? Anyway, I've lashed it in over in the recipe thread.

Oh my word:

http://www.ilovepeanutbutter.com/detail ... 01__6.html

That sounds heart-cloggingly delicious.

It is. Fluffernutters are among the best non-savoury sammiches ever.

I'm not sure which part of "Set Oven to 180 degrees" and then "put it in for 40 mins" you are having problems with here.

Thank you, I tried to do this last night, but it kept timing out on me, so I gave up and went to 360 instead.

/bad mod.

You cannot make honey beer by pouring a glass of beer and then stirring honey into it. You just end up with a glass of beer with honey at the bottom.

Don't tell me you tried this.

It's kinda implied that I did, though.

I made this last night, with new potatoes and very yummy it was too. I would probably use a bit more honey next time, as the lemon and honey sauce was a bit thin.

some photos!

I shall be trying some of the other recipes in the cooking thread.

Craster's favourite beer, there.

You ate both those chicken breasts?

You ate both those chicken breasts?

And all those potatoes?

Looks nice, though.

Post editing fail.

SWITCH THE KNIFE AND FORK! SWITCH THE KNIFE AND FORK!

I am a fat bastard. I hadn't eaten anything since the day before though

That's a kind of small meal to my eyes, tbh. I'd have a side of peas with that lot.

I was gonna ask where the veg were.

I just cooked and ate this. It was delish. Would do again.

I steamed some potatoes and broccoli to have with it. Success was achieved.

Good work.

You, sir, are an enemy of mankind. That is all.

Broccoli is food of the kings.

It really isn't. Liking it is a sign of deficient genes. To those with Good Genes, it tastes of horrid bitter ick. To those with Bad Evil Genes, it tastes nice. Trufax, like.

It's like a mini-tree. With flavour and fun.

I'm not kidding. You're genetically deficient.
