Am cooking for the lady tomorrow night and my meat of choice will be chicken. I'm thinking roast chicken, not too fussed about the cut.

Does anyone have a recipe for a kick ass sauce to go with it?

Potatos and veg will be accompanied, if anyone needs to know.

You can't go wrong with a light chicken gravy on roast chicken.
What you can show off with is stuffing. There are loads of stuffing mixes that could knock her knickers off.

If it's a whole one, simply choose a nice non-battery one (free range or whatnot), untruss it (snip the elastic off the legs and, erm, part them Embarassed ) stuff as much of: a lemon cut in half, a whole bulb of garlic cut in half horizontally, and fresh thyme, into the cavity as you can fit. Scatter any bits of loose garlic and thyme on the top.

Roast as instructions until it starts to brown, then bosh a square of foil over the top bit and continue cooking till the thickest part of the thigh runs clear when skewered.

Remove the bird and wrap in foil, keep it warm. Boil the roasting tin dregs up on the hob with a little veg or chicken stock, stir it all the time. Thicken as required with a little cornflour paste, strain all the garlic bits off and carve the chicken just as you're serving it (on warmed plates).

Kickass moist chicken delicately infused with flavours, piss easy and well nice. Thumbs Up

That has just got me thinking of nice beef steak. Just slightly pink with a red currant sauce, some nice roasted spuds and parsnips, a nice wine ending off with a nice apple crumble.

Just swap the redcurrant sauce for a brandy cream pepper one and I'll be round for my tea. Thumbs Up

That sounds very tempting to be honest. Is the red current sauce ready made?

You can make the red currant sauce or buy it from most supermarkets.

Brady, cream and pepper sauce. Thats for the larger steaks with a bit more pink in it.

Guess what I will be cooking for evening dinner. the apple crumble has to have double cream with it. Debating onions with the meat. Get them all caramel like.

I think the pepper sauce might win. with some sliced carrots in butter too.

I love food.

for an easy chicken sauce at home

1 chicken oxo cube
pint of water
100ml cream (single)
tarragon
mushroom handful
S+P

bout 20 minutes before the chicken is done, crumble the stock cube into the water (which is in a pan at medium heat) and reduce it down on high heat for 10 minutes
Drop in the handful or fineley sliced mushrooms and then add a pinch of tarragon. After about 8 minutes the mushrooms will be softened, add the cream and make sure it's warmed through.

S+P to taste, and serve.

I'd also recommend just getting two decent breasts or a crown, get a searing hot pan, seal them on all sides and roast and baste with butter.

Tonight I had a few roast chicken breasts with *hides away in shame* Chicken Tonight - to be fair, I was late home and Somerfield isn't exactly exuberating choice through it's colour shelves - but I did roast the chicken on it's own first with some onions.

I hid a couple chunks of onion under each breast to keep it moist.
Didn't have a great deal in either so did the best with what I could.

Looking forward to cooking up a feast tomorrow though Very Happy .

Skudd, the crumble clearly has to have custard, come on now.

A chef that uses an Oxo cube? , tis blasphemous I tell you , stock should be made properly....

A red onion,
Bay leaf,
Celery
Carrot
Parsely and maybe other herbs.
Chicken bones,
Olive oil , some salt.

Put in a pot of water , and simmer slowly every 15 minutes scrape the scum that floats to the top. Continue for 3 hours, and remove the bits and strain it, if you get it right it should be fairly thick and reduced and is a proper stock.

When you work all week every week in a kitchen, you want things easy. I make at least 3 60l stocks a day, when I'm at home, I will cheat Razz

If using heinz ketchup is good enough for marco pierre, then a stock cube is good enough for me

We are talking the possibility of getting some with a lady so it has to be cream, Once you've had her then it is custard. But we have also the wine bit too and so it is again cream.
The custard has to be very hot, very runny and very strong. With cream you can leave things to settle while the mood of the evening get more..................... tasty.
