Slow cooked chicken (1 Viewer)

[7 - No tomorrow]

Took two frozen thighs out of the freezer after work.

Quickly seared them brown on the skin side in a small pot and then flipped them, put the lid on and turned the gas down to its lowest.
Tossed in a few garlic cloves.

Went to the hockey game. Came back two and a half hours later to the tenderest pieces of chicken you ever did taste.

turned the gas down to its lowest.

can't do this with our hob; the lowest possible flame keeps things at a low boil. it's a right pain in the balls.

My last place was like that. I tried stacking the gas grates, which worked to a point.
Didn't feel right leaving the house with them like that though.

I cooked an 8lb chicken at 90 degrees last night

Yup, you read that right. I'm a goddamn maniac.

 

[nooleen]

how many days til it's done?

Ha. I was out for a good 5 hours +. So I think it is fine.
It was perfect for me, in that I got tons of great clear stock, the meat was juicy, and the bones and meat separated easily without the carcass disintegrating.

The bulb of garlic I put in the cavity came out soft, but not squishy.

I don't know that I'll do 'go out' chicken any other way again. Very happy.
I'll get the week out of this.

Why not buy a slow cooker? They are like 30 quid and work a treat. Cook a tasty chicken in 4 hours and you can leave the house. Throw it in the grill for a few minutes if you want the skin to crisp a bit.

Edit, that was for Nooly. Also I stuff my chickens with lemons and garlic.

Any time I cook a chicken I give it 20 min/half hour ate 450/220

Get the skin brown and then lower it.

I usually put lemon in too, but Stop & Shop has started asking for a dollar a lemon. I can't be party to that kind of wrongness.

I have a slow cooker. Don't love it.

Plus, I think an oven at 90 kind of is a slow cooker.

It was Heston's idea, so maybe Google that first

Haha

I found it while Googling 'what is the lowest temp I can cook a chicken at?'
He was like the second result. Didn't even think of all the people he Andrexed.

I thought he was actually bald

 

[nooleen]

I might pass on that chicken on second thoughts.
Kangaroo steak for dinner tonight (thanks Lidl ), it probably tastes like chicken.

More likely to be gamey I'd reckon

 

[nooleen]

it's a bit like horse

Yeah, I was making a play on everything tasting like chicken. More like liver than anything else, pretty good.
