Hello Puss, best if I keep quiet on this one! lol

xx

you'd boil a chicken to gain stock or to make soup, so I don't see why it can't be done that way for curry!

Hi Puss, yes you can get a boiling chicken lol
from the super market or your butchers

thankyou well its in the pot and no complaints yet , do any off you watch that program on tea time , hopoe it turns out ok got my eldest coming for tea

Boil a chicken , remove when cooked and take off flesh then add diced vegetables and pieces of chicken to the stock again , simmer until veggies are tender, add seasoning.....a wonderful , nutritious soup and excellent for treating colds and 'Flu'

lol i knwe id heard of it, my mum grew up on a farm and i was sured she'd said it was the older birds for boiling lol. xx

lol, howie was just wondering how long to boil it for xx

*prints thread off*

Lulli..................I will have to try that one.

I have a slow cooker which even I can't go wrong with ..........well I did, but that's another story.

Would it be alright to cook the soup in that do you know.........or would it be dangerous because of slowly reheating the chicken?

xx

Hi Puss.. a boiling chicken used to be the old chickens that had stopped laying eggs. They were often a bit tough, so needed to be boiled (as in soups, stews, curries etc) for a long time to tenderise them. The soups and stews from them were out of this world!!

Puss mam wuold boil hers until all the flesh fell of then make stew with what was left xxxxxxxxxwhooo lovelyxxx

lol kitty dont, know but i think its ok to reheat the bones and stock , we can be called the salmonella sisters , (hope not ) lol, xx

I have a great recipe for chicken Curry Puss....

Pick up a chicken from the rotisserie at Tescos...

Buy a jar of Pataks Tikka Masala....

Take the chicken off bones and mix with sauce...

Freeze....

Use chicken bones with an onion, carrot or any fresh veg and boil up......strain off liquid for stock.....I use the empty Sweet and Sour jars and Pataks Curry jars for the stock and put in freezer for gravies....

I don't think I have a cat in whotsits chance of getting on Britain's Best Dish.....but it does taste nice....

PS....I do the same ..... only with Uncle Bens Sweet and Sour...

Hi Kitty , if you cook it initially in the usual way then finish in the slow cooker it's OK. that is what I do

Lulli xx

Kitty, I always use the highest setting on my slow cooker for chicken soups or stews, but I make a pure stock in a large pan.. that is only when I am chucking in all the bones, skin etc and I have even been known to use the remnants of the ready cooked chooks you buy hot from the store, to boil for stock. Much nicer than stock cubes if you have the time todo it.

Love
