Wife does not like chicken, so...

Posts: 665
I’ve tried multiple recipes in an attempt to find one for chicken that my wife might like. So far, no luck. Anyone have a recipe that might help change her mind?
Thank You!
Thank You!

She doesn't like chicken or she doesn't like egged chicken?

use chicken instead of turkey

This. What is her objection to chicken, and what have you tried? Egged chicken is very different than roast chicken in the oven, which are both very different than smothered chicken, all of which are vastly different than chicken in a stir-fry or curry.ColtsFan said:She doesn't like chicken or she doesn't like egged chicken?LBGE

have you tried enchiladas or deep fried chimichangas, lots of added flavors to distract

I don’t brine every time but certainly do so most of of the time.paqman said:It is because you are not brining it I bet

Find out what she doesn't like about it and try to change whatever it is. You can disguise and elevate even pedestrian meats.

The only chicken I know of that she likes is General Tso’s and she is OK with wings.Acn said:

My wife only likes those two plus some "BBQ" chicken - which in her mind means a breast on the bone cooked with a sugary sauce that partially burns to a black crisp - but some of the sauce has to remain unburned to give it the BBQ flavor. You might try that.The only chicken I know of that she likes is General Tso’s and she is OK with wings.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

Grill a whole chicken, truss or spatchcock, indirect. Let cool, pull the meat off bones and disguise in tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas

I would try the chicken Kiev or Cordon Bleu route. I can't imagine not liking chicken

Cook up a chicken, except tell her a story about it. People eat with their minds. Like this breed was endangered and it tried to cross the road, and unfortunately for it, you were on that road and it was the last of its kind.....or it was hand raised by Scientologists and on an exclusive reprogramming farm and costs 20 bucks a pound.

If she doesn't like chicken I hear pork is a pretty versatile protein. In all seriousness why try to change her mind?Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

(First recipe I found). They are baked so you could do them on the egg. I haven't tried it yet but I have read the baking powder makes them seem fried.
Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -

What book is that. Looks great!Acn said:
Best new chicken recipe I’ve tried recentlyNOLA -
My wife used to hate chicken and would complain when I said that's what for dinner, but then she would like it. It took her a long time to not associate all chicken with her mom's plain salt and pepper skinless chicken breast she grew up with.

@buzd504 - Ed Lee's Smoke & Pickles. Most everything we've tried has been a winner, and it's worth the time for the collard greens & kimchi recipe alone.buzd504 said:

Other than avian flu, me too.

Chicken definitely has an edge on Avian flu.

That very well could be the case, but she is sixty, so she better get over it pretty soon.RyanStl said:My wife used to hate chicken and would complain when I said that's what for dinner, but then she would like it.
