Is there a chicken big enough for 6 adults that fits in a standard kitchen oven?
i normally just cook for myself so its gonna prove a challenge

A standard large chicken should do six for one sitting when accompanied by a couple of veg and potatoes/roasties etc.

Cheers for the advice guys!
Someone suggested 2x spatchcock will cook together.
It's a bit of an expense but I'll just have to do it all the once!

I live alone and have demolished an entire chicken within 24 hours before, they go with anything nd are easy

Chicken broth, tiger loaf and a blueberry muffin.

Burgers are made and chips are cut. All I need now is for my dinner date to arrive, so I can start cooking them - starving!!

Sure why not.

Grabbing a bottle of Peroni from the fridge. Making mash, peas, meatballs and pepper sauce for myself.

A slow cooker is my next purchase. The Air Fryer is doing its job too. Getting easier in the kitchen.:D

I have an air fryer too, very handy for all sorts of foods. The slow cooker is great, great recipes available on the thread in here too.

I recently got one myself. Beef is absolutely amazing out of it, falls apart.

Eating my new favourite crisps, Tayto Treble Crunch. Feck all in a bag though

I don't have a slow cooker , I do it the old fashioned way
Light the cooker (Stanley ) put my stew on it , bring it to a boil the move it to the side and let it simmer away all day ! Casseroles , roasts , throw them in oven , would be lost without my cooker

I'm the same Mam but without the Stanley. - Waterford's best! But time wise I really need to get something going that doesn't require me checking or standing over stuff. Today I did meat balls. My usual method is fry on the pan or roast in the oven. Both require constant attention in some way. But today, I banged them in the AIR FRYER for 14 mins and done to perfection. During that 14 mins I had time to tell a boss of sorts to piss off via email without ruining dinner and post on boards.:D Woo Hoo!

The Stanley is a multi purpose wonder. Never had one, but always wanted one. A slow cooker and air fryer can't heat a house too.

Ah the air fryers are so handy alright G , I didn't mean it to sound as if I was knocking them , I'm not !!

I love my cooker , and believe it or not , (or maybe it's just me ) but when you're baking , it tastes better from the cooker than if I done it in the electric oven , crazy !

And as you say , it heats the house and the water , and I'm a cold creature

If I could have a Stanley, I would. A big range cooking and heating. Even keeps a stewed pot of Tea on the go all day. A great yoke. But I'm in electric land, so its gadgets all the way for me.

I'd love a gas hob though. A great way to cook.

I bought a slow cooker in Aldi last year, 20e and its fab. I put a 6e ham fillet from Tesco into it at 7.30 am yesterday on the low setting (I use a can of coke also no water), I came home around 4pm and it was perfect, I strained the coke and put half in my carrots/parsnips and half into my turnip, also had a huge pot of spuds, made my own parsley sauce.. Had my gang and my parents for dinner and it was nicer than you'd get in a restaurant, plates was all emptied.. Dessert was Bramley apple pies and Aldi custard,some wine was also consumed.. Can't beat an old fashioned dinner in this weather. ðŸ˜
