I drank about 3/4 a gallon of water when I got home from the gym. That filled me up. Had 3 drum sticks instead of 5. Now sipping on a couple diet root beers.
Not to turn this into a weight lifting thread. ZERO stamina today on benches. Reps were a problem.
Where the fuck are these mystery drumsticks coming from? are you just able to buy like 5 kfc style legs from the grocery store?
Dude, oven roasting your own chicken is the easiest shit.
First some whole chicken terminology, you'll come across 3
Broiler, Fryer, Roaster chickens, these are basically how old/young they are and their weight, of course older is more weight, but older meat, if you can't remember the names, remember the first letter, as that also coinsides with how young they are B-F-R. (in terms of the alphabet)
You're gonna learn how to make EASY AS SHIT, beer can chicken, you only need 2 things.
1. beer can
2. oven temp probe
1. take out a baking pan, take out a beer(soda) can, open it if you want to go fancy throw a few herbs in there, stick the chicken ass right on top of it. This costs almost no money, you should have this on hand, if however you want a dedicated beer can chicken stand (you either don't have cans around or you're afraid of it toppling over), amazon got you covered
Amazon.com: beer chicken stand(i have the steven raichlen set up)
2. set the oven to 400, stick an oven probe into the chicken breast meat vertically (like you're stabbing it from the neck, just like Bronn here)
, set the temp to 165 (that's when it's done)
if you have bomb ass oven, they would include one that you can use, if you don't, again amazon
Amazon.com: oven probe(i've used the Polders, and currently have a Famil)
Stick the chicken in, don't open the oven again until it's done
This'll take like 90 mins, this is BARE minimum to having perfectly oven roasted chicken, all your fat/grease and shit will collect on the tray, pro-tip it's gets hella greasy and sometimes a bitch to clean, cover the tray with aluminum foil, should make clean up much easier.
Wanna go one step further? make a rub, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, whatever spice shit you like, combine and rub all over that chicken.
Wanna go further? get some mash up garlic and some rub and stick it underneath the skin of the chicken.
Wanna go further? one day before you cook, get a brine ready, a simple brine is 1 part sugar, 1 part kosher salt, so a cup of each, dissolve, boil, cool and let whole chicken sit in it for a day.
Do you wanna also instead roast and cook vegetables at the same time?, skip the beer can, place 2lbs of celery, carrots, squash and whatever other vegs you plan to eat (you might want to skip starches like potatoes) put it all in a roaster pan
butterfly the chicken, this just means, take some kitchen shears and cut straight down the spine
then lay the chicken on top of the vegs, stick the oven probe in game of thrones style, and cook
