Been rocking old bay chicken for lunch the past few days

[droidspawn]

I just made chicken breast with old bay in the air fryer tonight for the first time in probably 2-3 months. With a side of steamfresh Brussels Sprouts tossed in Montreal steak seasoning.

Montreal seasoning rules

I also mashed avocado on top and melted shredded cheddar over it all.

Is it a chicken thing or a baked thing?

red chili powder, chicken powder, ginger/garlic masala, black peppercorns

chicken breast is the least desirable part of the chicken, unless it is deep fried

i love to roast whole chickens, with the oil from the skin, the bones, real flavour. if i have to cook with chicken breast, it is either deep fry, or dice and use in stir fry with rice

chicken breast in the USA/australia is just all hormones, it is like dry flavourless fake factory meat

I've always been a fan of chicken thighs - they have much more flavor and moistness compared to breasts.

eh, it depends. I will definitely say that there is a huge difference in texture and flavor when it comes to the free-range chickens vs "factory" farmed meat.

if I bake chicken I always like to brown it first in a cast iron pan for a couple minutes and then throw the whole thing in the oven. olive oil, sesame oil, or coconut oil depending on the flavor I'm going for.
some easy combinations that you don't really have to measure:

minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper.
minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper.
minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt.
minced garlic, lemon pepper, oregano, honey, dijon mustard.
minced garlic, minced ginger, chili-garlic sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, cayenne pepper.
etc.

isn't this gonna come out as somewhat sweet/citrus-y?

[Mesarthim]

Yup

[vO)))id]

Piri piri
Dried citrus, pepper, salt
Ras el hanout
Thyme/rosemary

Any of these rule.

Get you some fresh sprouts and slice em up thin and saute in scrapple cider vinegar

[agony bagony]

the best thing to do is replace the chicken breasts with chicken thighs

[rhino]

What about both, can we have both, can they coexist

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

They do before you butcher a chicken

i hear of people brining chicken before roasting, i would like to try this at some point
