Chicken is an often under rated meat due to over supply of poor quality poultry, but good quality chicken is a thing of great beauty!
Spring is definitely here now and just like my last recipe of Salmon Fish Cakes this Duck Ragu is designed to be one of those bridge recipes to tie me over until the spring produce really arrives.
General Tso’s chicken. General Tso’s Chicken is one of those relatively modern day dishes with a surprisingly disputed history. One would think that dishes developed as recently as the 1970’s would have their history clearly defined. It is a constant source of amusement that this is often not the case. In similar fashion the history of both the Chicken Tikka Masala and Balti Curry are both hotly disputed. What is undeniably true is that as a species we humans live to argue about shit that really aint all that important. The thing that is generally accepted is that it [...]
Pepper Chicken Chettinad. There are a whole host of Chicken Chettinad recipe on the web and I have no idea which is authentic, but I do know which sort of iteration is my favourite. Unsurprisingly it is this one! While it may be true that there is a variety of iterations of Chicken Chettinad the common theme among them all is the importance and prevalence of black pepper.

Pan Fried Duck Breast with Braised Endive and Anchovy Sauce Surely you all know by now how much I love cooking with duck and this pan fried duck breast joins recipes as diverse as Duck Tikka Massala to a classic Duck a l‘Orange.

Surprisingly I have never really got on with the cold pan method of cooking pan fried duck breast and as a result decided it was time [...]

Woohoo it is March later this week, consequently that means spring is closer and that the colours in this Spiced Baked Bell Pepper Chicken recipe will be a little less forced.
I don’t know about you guys but winter is starting to drag now and I am a little jaded by winter food so I went a plundering in my local large supermarket and came up with this grilled mango chicken salad…
Regular readers will probably have formed the opinion that I am largely still a child and the smile that the name of this recipe causes to spread across my face will only underline that, cockaleekie soup is a gloriously old fashioned recipe and not just for its really rather wonderful name!
I've seen lots of white chicken chili recipes over the last few years and I have erred between scorn and intrigued so a few months ago I figured I would give it a try, I was pleasantly surprised and have spent the last few weeks working on tweaking and simplifying my approach to work in a slow cooker.
So I am rounding out 2017 with a super simple Skillet Chicken Dinner, sear off some chicken legs, add some veggies a nice honey and mustard sauce and then chuck it in the oven and let it do its thing.
