Engagement Chicken and other recipes

[MermaidKelly]

I want to try cooking for my boyfriend sometime soon.. and I remember seeing something a while ago on this site about Engagement Chicken! I should make that for him! If anyone has info about that or any other recipes please let me know!

Note- I am a beginner...haven''t done much cooking yet.

Also who else has cooked for their boyfriend? How did it go?

I Googled for a link to the "Engagement Chicken"...it''s here.

I''ve heard that it needs to cook for much longer than the recipe says, and having roasted a whole chicken before, I agree. Make sure you go by a meat thermometer''s reading, not the recipe time -- you don''t wanna give your BF food poisoning!

I cook for B all the time; I love cooking and consider myself a very Martha Stewart type. If you''d like some easy recipes, I''d be happy to share some. What kind of things are you looking for?

I also cook all the time for A and myself. We live together, and I''m usually the dinner chef 5-7 nights a week. Most of the stuff I do is thrown together on a whim, though, so I don''t know how much help I''d be for recipes.

A is the baker, though. Boy, can that man make a mean...well...anything that goes in the oven, pretty much.

He does all kinds of breads (both sweet and yeast) as well as pies and cakes and other yummies. My favorite was the homemade chocolate chip bagels he did for breakfast in bed on my birthday!

What can I say...I''m a lucky girl!!!

This recipe sounds an awful lot like Jamie Oliver''s recipe for roast chicken, cept Jamie adds garlic and herbs with the lemons, and then rubs the garlic on the chicken when it comes out of the oven. Also, he parboils some potatoes with one lemon, and then bakes the potatoes with rosemary, to go with the recipe. I love that recipe- so easy, and the chicken is mouthwatering!!!!! I will try and get the link to Jamie''s recipe if anyone is interested?

Hey mermaid!

I made engagement chicken for my (now) fiance in June...

If you go to this old LIW list, and scroll down to the second post I posted links to the other recipe''s I made with it. They tasted amazing together and fiance had LOTS of "seconds" lol.

Here is the recipe. It is REALLY yummy!!! I LOVE Jamie. I have tried a number of celeb chefs recipes, but Jamie is still my absolute favorite!

I always use Jamie''s recipe for roasts! I made an amazing one the other week, if I do say so myself, hehe. Use a lot of garlic, it''s amaing. I don''t think it says on that recipe, but you can never go wrong using duck or goose fat for your roast potatoes. It just tastes SO GOOD.

I''m much more of a baker though. Made some muffins with cheesecake centres the other week, didn''t come out as planned, but still were just too good. And bad for me.
