Tasty Tuesday: Chicken

Here are some of the things you may have missed from Dave’s Instagram Live from Sunday in how to break down a chicken (with very little waste)!

Chicken Stock
– Chicken bones, Mirepoix (2 parts onion, 1 part carrots, 1 part celery, thyme, parsley stem, peppercorn, bay leaf )
– Just cover with water, bring to simmer (DO NOT BOIL), drop heat to light percolation, skim funk as it cooks.  3-4 hours on stove/1 hour in pressure cooker.  Let cool, strain, store (you can freeze)

Roasted Chicken Breast
– Marinade is whole grain mustard, salt & pepper, extra virgin olive oil, herbs (best to let sit overnight)
– Sear both sides on medium heat then throw in oven until cooked thoroughly

Drums & Thighs
– Braise is soy sauce, ginger, garlic, chicken stock.
– Place everything in pyrex, loose cover, cook at 325. 

Roasted Wings
– Marinate in fish sauce, red wine vinegar, garlic, and honey overnight.
– Roast at 375 degrees.

Crispy Chicken Skin
– Place on sheet tray, stretch them out, season with salt.
– Roast at 350.
– Adds texture to anything (use in place of bacon)

WATCH: Pulling and back exercises are part of the home exercise diet that seem to disappear, especially if you have no/limited equipment. This is why you’re prescribed so many hanging exercises in the gym: both barbell and pullup bars.
