Chicken is one of the only meats I will eat, but my mom doesn’t know many recipes for it. She breads it sometimes or makes chicken alfredo, but that’s about it.
What are some of your favorite recipes for chicken?
butter chicken with couscous
* 8 boneless, skinless chicken thigh fillets
* 40g butter
* 2 tbsp runny honey
* 1 tsp paprika
* Juice of 1 lemon, plus wedges to serve
* 200g couscous
* 250ml hot vegetable stock
* 1 tbsp olive oil
* 410g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
* Large handful chopped fresh coriander or flatleaf parsley, plus extra leaves to garnish
* 1 red chilli, deseeded and cut into strips, to serve (optional)
Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Sit the chicken in an ovenproof dish. Season. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, remove from the heat and stir in the honey, paprika and half the lemon juice. Season. Pour all over the chicken. Bake for 25 minutes, basting with the sauce halfway through cooking, until the chicken is cooked through, golden and sticky.
2. Meanwhile, make the couscous. Put the couscous into a large bowl and pour over the boiling stock. Cover the bowl with cling film and set aside for 5 minutes. Fluff up the couscous with a fork, then stir in the remaining lemon juice, olive oil, chickpeas and coriander or parsley. Season to taste.
3. Divide the couscous between 4 warm plates, then put the chicken on top and pour over the sauce. Garnish with a sprig of coriander or flatleaf parsley and some chilli, if using. Serve with a lemon wedge.

Here is a delicious chicken recipe that comes from Lebanon. This, easy to make, chicken recipe does not rely upon complicated ingredients and techniques. The only trick to give you a tasty dinner that your family will enjoy is the slow cooking and the special lemon and garlic marinade.
Ingredients:
For the Chicken
4 Skin-on, boneless chicken breasts
2 Fresh Lemons completely juiced
6 cloves garlic
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Basil
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
6 large potatoes cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
For the ‘thoom’ marinade (Arabic for garlic)
4 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
a dash of cayenne.
Directions:
Blend the lemon juice, basil, garlic, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to make the marinade.
Plsce the chicken breasts in a deep pan or bowl and pour the marinade over it making sure that all of the chicken is covered. Put a lid or cover on the container and let it sit in the refridgerator over night. In the morning turn the chicken over or move the breasts around. Let the chicken marinate for approximately 4 more hours.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees celsius). Drain the liquid (but do not discard it) from the chicken and bake it in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. This is not to cook the chicken but only to brown it.
Next pour the marinade back over the browned chicken and cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil (Be careful not to burn your fingers!). Put the chicken and marinade back into the oven and reduce the heat to 250 degrees F (120 degrees celsius).
Baste the chicken with the marinade sauce every hour for three hours. After 4 hours add the potato slices to the pan and baste the chicken and potatoes well. Recover with the aluminum foil and bake for one more hour.
At this point you may blend all of the ingredient listed for the thoom. This will be used as a condiment for the chicken and potatoes.
Traditionally, this Lebanese Garlic Lemon Chicken is served with warm pita bread.

My mom was planning on marinating some chicken in bbq sauce and then cooking it or putting it in the
oven.
Unfortunately she forgot about the chicken and its been a couple of days since its been in the fridge.
So i wanted to know what is the maximum time the chicken can be in there while still being edible and safe (because of cross contamination and all the junk about bacteria growth and such) ?
Thanks.
cross contamination is when you get one thing mixed with another that should never be together. Like drinking from the milk jug. Or double dipping in the chip dip. Thats cross contamination.
If your marinade from the chicken dripped onto a bowl of lettuce, THAT is cross contamination.
You do not have to worry about that while marinating the chicken.Several days is fine as the salt in the marinade acts as a preservative, just like it does in the BBQ sauce.
And it inhibits bacteria growth, as does the coldness of the fridge.
LIke the other guy said about the wings, 3-4 days is okay. Just cook them well done and do not use the marinade for any other meats.
And no it does not violate some kind of health code. What code would that be, exactly?
Chicken doesn’t spoil THAT fast and keeping it cold in the fridge and marinating in a sauce that involves vinegar and salt,(BBQ sauce has one or both) both of which are recognized food preservatives doesn’t make it spoil faster.
Not cooking the chicken to a proper temperature violates a health code.
Marinating it a few days does not.
EDIT: Anyone wanting to see my employment record or talk to any of my current or prior employers, feel free to e-mail me.
It is not against any violation to store marinating meat in a walk in cooler. Where the hell else would a eating establishment store it?
There is no law stating how long meat can remain in a marinade.
You do not need to toss meat if it is AFTER the SELL by date, only after the USE by date.
there is a huge difference.

Chicken pox is very common in children, being actually a children’ s disease. It is very contagious and it is actually nothing but a viral infection. Chicken pox is cause by a virus called varicella zoster, thus the medical term for chicken pox: varicella. There are few complications in chicken pox cases, but when they occur, they are very serious. It does not matter if you are otherwise healthy.
Children under 10 years old are the main target of chicken pox. Adults can catch chicken pox as well, but this is very rare. Once you have had chicken pox, you can not develop it again. However, if you have not had chicken pox by the time you were ten, then things do not look so good. Older children and adults that develop chicken pox risk more severe complications. Winter and spring are the most common seasons for chicken pox. There are also some people that are more vulnerable to chicken pox than others. For example kids that are immunosuppressed or newborns are especially vulnerable to chicken pox.
The first time that you come in contact with a person that has chicken pox or other factors that put you at risk of developing chicken pox, you will have no visible signs of infection. This happens because chicken pox has a period of incubation that lasts somewhere between two and three weeks. After this period of time, you will start to have symptoms. Fever, but a mild one and headaches are the first signs of chicken pox. Then, after only a couple of hours, a rash will start to appear on your skin. This is the first visible chicken pox symptom. At the beginning you will see only some little, red spots on your skin that will quickly turn into blisters filled of fluid. This is the second important step in chicken pox. These blisters are very itchy. Then, just after a few days, these blisters scab over then dry up and eventually fall off. This is the way things evolve in chicken pox. Some, but very rare, cases of chicken pox have no symptoms so the disease will actually go unnoticed.
Some parts of your child’ s body are more likely to be affected by chicken pox than others. The chest and upper part of your child’ s back are the ares where the rash will first appear. However, chicken pox may affect your whole body, even the mouth. These are more rare cases of chicken pox, but they can exist.
Chicken pox can also lead to complications. The most common of all chicken pox complications is the secondary infection. This chicken pox complication can be fatal.
