Chicken 2: The Reckoning

Fire somewhere in the building today, so smoked chicken was on the mind. Apparently the news that the month of chicken has traveled around the office. Lets go chicken.

Great call into WFAN (sports radio station) this morning. Guy calls in sounding absolutely plastered. Apparently by around 7:20AM the man had already had 3 Screwdrivers. Also said his mother always told him not to start drinking until 6, (though I'm pretty sure mom meant 6PM) and he had to "catch up". To what? Who knows.

Chicken Day 2 - Rotisserie

So we set out in search of some tasty chicken salad at yet another supermarket in the area, only to find that it costs even more. Eight bucks a pound? Screw that.

Luckily the same supermarket had half rotisserie chickens for under 5 bucks. Sounds like a good plan B to me.

So the meal was half a chicken and a handful (if that much) of pasta that came in the same plastic container that housed the sacrificed bird. The pasta had an odd tangy/sourness that tasted fine initially, but lingered on the taste buds far longer than welcome, morphing into something less pleasant after a few moments.

The chicken fared better, but was nothing exactly special. The bird was lightly spiced, and the skin was crispy. The meat was a little on the dry side, even the dark meat seemed like it could have used a healthy dose of gravy. Overall, it was quite a mediocre example of a simple form of chicken. Edible, but not much beyond that.

I'd call it a successful day, though now I could really go for some chicken salad.
