What's for Dinner?

What's in sticky chicken?n

[Janelle205]

It's basically just a spice rub recipe - supposed to be similar to a rotisserie chicken you get in stores.

Recipe is here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/roast-sticky-chicken-rotisserie-style/detail.aspx

I've done it using the cooking method there (long cook in a low oven), but now I just always do it in the slow cooker.  It turns out moist and delicious, and if you strain the juices from the crockpot, you can make a really good gravy. 

I've halved the salt and had it turn out great.  Tonight I'm trying with only 1 teaspoon instead of four.  Oh, and instead of using two chickens like the recipe states, I use the same amount of spice rub on one large one.

Thanks!   It looks delicious!

Sticky chicken is not as good with only 1 teaspoon of salt.  It might be ok if you hadn't had the other, but we noticed a difference.  I'll stick with 2 teaspoons from now on.  It's still half the amount, but tastes just as good to us.

Last night was chili, tonight is chicken and dumplings in the crockpot.

Tomorrow will be chicken tortilla soup.

I definitely win the dunce  award for the week, because in figuring out my weekly menu I managed to forget that tonight was the first night of Hanukah. 

So, I had to revise my menu for tonight - Baked chicken, salad and of course, latkes.

we love sticky chicken, here...I think that's the best crockpot, whole chicken.

Have NO idea what's for dinner the next two nights... had thru Wed. planned and I have Christmas eve and Day planned but nothing for Thurs/Fri

Mexican mac and cheese version 2.0.  It was delicious when I made it last time, but I altered the recipe to hopefully make it better.  Has chicken now, corn salsa, and more seasoning.  We'll see how it tastes tonight.

Mexican Chicken Stew...trying to clean out leftovers and using a couple of canned good to make the stew/soup/chowder...smells yummy, we'll see...we will top with cheese and tortilla chips....we're skipping bread and salad...tho' there are onions, bell pepper, potatoes, corn and  black beans in the soup - so I don't feel too guilty about skipping making a salad.

Needed to change up our fish routine tonight, so I bought some cod and broiled it with a little olive oil and Adobo seasoning until it was almost done.

Meanwhile, I made a sauce of sauteed tomatoes, garlic and a spash of vinegar.  (Would have added onion, but it was rotten inside.  Would also have added green pepper, but suddenly DS loathes them.  )

Took the fish out of the broiler and poached it with the tomatoes and their liquid.  Served with maduros and salad.  Quite yummy!  DS loved it.
