bradm Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Has anybody tried one of those roasted chickens grocery stores (like the Loeb across the street from me) are selling? I'm thinking of trying one this weekend, having it hot Saturday night and then using the leftovers (some of which will probably be frozen) for cold dinners or chicken (salad, maybe) sandwiches, but it'll be a new thing for me, so any experiences or tips from people who have tried them would be appreciated.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 They're fine Brad. My dad buys one or two of these every single time I go to visit. They're a roasted chicken, no frills, sometimes a bit too salty, sometimes not.Not a bad deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassedOutGuy Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I enjoy them occasionally as well.. good quick meal with some potato salad is perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Thanks, guys. Assuming I bought it just before dinner and walked it right home (< 5 minutes), is it hot enough to eat then and there, or should it be heated up in the oven first?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I can't speak for Loeb, but the Loblaws ones are tasty and cheap.If you have a crockpot, you should really make Crystal's Crockpot Chicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Zimmy Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Yeah it should still be warm enough to eat when you get home Brad. I used to make them when I worked in a deli...like ms hux says, no frills, just some spice and roasted...and you will def. have enough for leftovers.

AD Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 those are delish for the nights where you don't feel like doing much cooking. cheaper than a swiss chalet quarter chicken too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemonkey Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 ..is it hot enough to eat then and there, or should it be heated up in the oven first?Aloha,Brad First of all, when transporting your little de-feathered friend, I would suggest holding it very close.. under your blue coat even. Maybe huddle it to your chest like a football as you sprint across the parking lot towards your kitchen. Once you get home, one sure way of determining if the bird is still warm enough is to ram your fist up its rear-end. If you feel 3rd degree burns developing you knows its good to go; simply remove your fist and enjoy! ...and please videotape this for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I suppose if it wasn't quite 3rd-degree-burn hot (near 1st degree, maybe), I could just leave my fist in the bird, hoist it up near my face, and bite off huge hunks like some neanderthal tribesman, or someone eating a chickensicle. This would also have the advantage of leaving no cutlery to clean, and I'd be tasting the remnants crusted into my beard for hours thereafter...Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Zimmy Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 gentlemonkey...it amazes me how you can change the direction of a thread/conversation...and bradm's way of going with the flow...I now have disturbing mental pictures. I hope that you enjoy(ed) your chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might even benefit from wearing a loin cloth when snacking on your chickensicle. thanks for the good times bradly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
