Slow cooker is the way lads for the ultimate tender chicken.

Microwaves are only good for popcorn, melting things, popping hamsters and party tricks. In that order.

At this time of night, I wish. Have no chicken and I err covered the microwave with soup earlier so it needs cleaned, having said that an hour ago my Spanish housemate made an ommelette. And it was nice.

Bah sorry people, just went to get chicken and it may have been in the fridge longer than I remembered, as it had a quite a bit of yellowy slime resembling puss and a rather nasty smell to it

Try defrosting it in the microwave, should be alright like.

Nah it wasn't frozen, and the "pus" made me retch, so I'm definatly not eating it.

did try to wash it but the actual meat underneath was yellow and smelled too.

I'd try, just for the hell of it really. But yea that doesn't sound like a good chicken. Could you not deep fat fry it in your 'tefal' deep fat fryer? (we were brought one for Christmas and it hasn't been used - care to send the manual?)

(Only kidding btw)

I got an argos set... Apologies for not supporting the brand...

Fry= win.

Chicken breast in the fryer or Sir Fryor if you are lucky... Defrost first then put in the fryer. In the microwave is blatantly a lose compared to fried.

Doesn't sound like a bad method, if you know the chicken is going to be lacking in flavour you could also use stock instead of water.

But for the same amount of effort you could boil some water in a pan and do it properly. Much better results.

Right I'm trying this the chicken is cooking , should be done in a few mins.

Van Hellseek · 12 May 2008 at 04:37

Pics or it didn't happen.

Tefal · 12 May 2008 at 04:40

Sorry i own no camera and it just looks like white chicken :/

However as weired as it sound this actually is damn good chicken.

6 mins in an 800w microwave with a little butter in the water .

Unlike with frying etc the chicken has swollen rather than shrank.
