Sad Chicken
Well, it took a couple of days to prepare (hence the name, Two Day Garlic Chicken, aka Recipezaar #20148).
The marinade had about 15 cloves of garlic in it and it really smelled quite good. I mushed it all over the chicken and it seemed like it would be good. Their suggestion was to cook it on a rotisserie but, as I don't have one, I settled for roasting it. The garlic fumes were SO strong in the apartment that I could smell it all afternoon. You know how you kind of get used to a smell and then you have to leave and return to smell it again. Not in this case, I could smell it ALL afternoon. I'm half convinced that it was the reason that my eyes felt all watery and tired too.
So after marinating it for a whole day and then roasting it in the garlic paste, it tasted like NOTHING! It was the blandest chicken I've ever had and eventually Meag went to get the ranch dressing to dip it in.
Meag made a Caesar salad to go with it and I dealt with my bland chicken by pulling it into little pieces and mixing it in with the salad. That was pretty good.
Do you ever go through a time when none of the food that you prepare really works? Yuck. I'm saving the carcass for stock though and I saved the rest of the bland meat for chicken salad or something.
