Hardly. Chicken is good for you because it's not mixed with fat like sausage or burger or lunch meats it also costs more that hot dogs. I give the skin to my dogs.

Buy 'fresh' and cook to your taste. I buy the chicken still hot from the rotisserie and warming it at home in the oven does nothing to harm the flavor. Stewing or sautéing or such methods are meant to be used with left over chicken. Many chicken dishes in a restaurant are made with boiled chicken - making the point that the seasoning is the important part of the preparation. I guess one can buy dried up chicken but I don't.

One chicken, one trip to the store. How many ways to get a good meal out of that chicken? I know a lot of folks who eat one meal and give the rest to the animals. I get three meals and give the rest to the animals. Normally I use the same 3 or 4 chicken recipes and wondered if anyone had any ideas that I would like and hadn't tried.

Buying pre-cooked gives you no control over the cooking time or flavours (Big C chickens are particularly horrible). Yes, you can add flavour later, but the point remains that nobody would buy a pre-cooked chicken for reasons of culinary excellence. I am not knocking it, I often buy a Makro pre-cooked chicken to make a sandwich or a salad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a quick question Where does your steamed breast of chicken come from ? The pre - cooked, roasted chicken from Big C ? Not really steamed is it ? Each to their own. If I was going to the trouble of making a classic French white sauce, I would not be adding pre-cooked chicken. But to answer your question. Creative cooking to me is having a range of fresh products, herbs and spices and actually cooking. Not reheating pre-cooked roast chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
