Alt: I vary, sometimes I'm good at it, other times I'm not. Oddly, I find I'm far better at it when I have a missus than when I don't, I think it might just instil me with a confidence that I don't usually have.
Alt Alt: Depends which bit.
Full chicken - Roast it, eat with roasties, parsnips, carrots, broccoli and gravy. Strip remaining meat off carcass, have sandwiches. Put carcass into a pan, add carrots, onions, leeks and *spits* celery. Boil for several hours, strain, add any remaining chicken back in, as well as sweetcorn, some chilli, and some noodles, make soup.
Drumsticks or thighs - Use in a slow cooked curry.
Legs - I tend to get mine pre-rubbed, so I'm not too sure here, beyond slashing it, top with salt, pepper and paprika, roasting it with garlic.
Breasts - Brown whole, remove from pan, add onions and mushrooms to pan, add a little flour after a few minutes so they go gooey. Add a glass of white wine, some single cream and rather a lot of tarragon. Whilst this cooks, cut the chicken into large pieces, and add back to the sauce, effectively poaching it. Season to taste. Possible other things to add to this - Bacon, wholegrain mustard, thyme, etc. Very nice, but not cheap.
