Adventures in Cooking! 14.9.10


I bought a few breasts of chicken a while back but was waiting to find some chicken broth before I cooked them. I patiently waited, searching different grocery stores, but it was all for naught; it turns out Czechs don't use chicken broth. At a loss for what to do, I'm now experimenting.

I know you can cook chicken in a beer batter but have never tried it myself. So, tonight, that's exactly what I'm doing. I made a batter out of an egg, some butter and some beer. I salted, peppered and pounded my breasts of chicken (this sounds naughtier than it is) before dunking them in the batter. Now, I'm letting the chicken cool for a while in the refrigerator. I think I'm going to try to bake the chicken in some of the excess batter. I'll only use a little batter and hope that it evaporates, but in the mean time provides a little extra moisture.

If you've cooked before and know this is a terrible idea, please feel free to message me asap before I destroy my kitchen.

Oh, and I need some tips on how to separate eggs. I know the principle because of my Mom, but have yet to actually perform it. If you have any advice, or have a how-to video handy, I'd appreciate it.

All the best,
Stephen
