In other news, I’m cooking a chicken

So what? Big deal. I didn’t mean, I’m cooking ‘chicken’ for dinner. I
mean, a WHOLE chicken, all at the same time, in one piece. So, I’m a
bit nervous. I was reading through the wonderful family cookbook last
night and found a yummy sounding recipe from my cousin for slow-cooker
lemon chicken. Well, while I was at the grocery today, they had these
3-4 lbs whole little chickens with all the gross stuff
giblets removed, so I thought “that’ll be perfect! I’ll just modify the
recipe”…. so that’s what I did. I figure that I can’t mess it up too
badly. There is a chicken, some herbs, some lemon juice (I stuffed a
few lemon slices under the skin just for fun), some butter, in a
crockpot for 7 hours. It’s going to get cooked. Plus, we’ll obviously
have left over chicken, and I’m thinking I might try some version of
Grandma’s shredded chicken sandwiches – even if they do have a lemony
flavor. As long as it doesn’t end up tasting like the “lemon pledge”
premarinated chicken you buy at the store. That stuff is nasty. So I’ll
let you know how it goes.
