Chicken 16: Chinatown

It's been 16 chicken meals and today people ask me about it. The chickens are numbered for god's sake, pay attention.

This entire month has been much more expensive that it should be. So much chicken, so many forms. This month has also been exceptionally unhealthy. Easiest way to cook chicken is fried, so that form showed up in many meals. Also Burger King ended up in a meal at least 3 times thus far. The King has a special place in my heart with his artery clogging goodness.

Chicken 16: Chinatown

So today there chicken pot pie still was not on the menu. We're trying now that we know it exists right outside, we just don't know when. So off to plan B: Chinatown for half a soy sauce chicken (and rice). You would think after the large portions of food yesterday that it would be time for something smaller. Pif.

Good weather today so the stroll to Chinatown and back was a piece of cake. When ordering at Noodle Town, the woman behind the counter seemed surprised at what I wanted. Half a chicken? You betcha.

Opening up the plastic container, I realize that it is a lot of chicken. I've never eaten half a chicken in this form before, though I have eaten half of many chickens in a sitting before (I've done it this month already actually). Small rice came seperately in one of those white fold up containers.

The soy sauce chicken is about par for course when compared to other soy sauce chickens. Chicken is moist, all parts are greasy. Chicken is on the salty side, skin is soft not crisp. White meat sometimes seems a little dry, however the grease is everywhere and compensates. You can also use the soy sauce and onions in oil that they give you with the chicken to add a little something more to the meat. I used it sparingly as the chicken was good as is.

White rice is white rice. Yep.

The quantity was more anything else in this meal than anything. Disposing of the chicken handily enough, I still had to deal with a big chunk of white rice to finish off. Of course all was consumed. But damn that was a lot of rice in two days.

Well that was a lot of chicken today. I would do it again, though it's a terrible idea. Plus you need more variety when getting that stuff. I could sure go for some duck.

Chicken Month rolls on.
