Ordering chicken in a restaurant.

I don't remember ever ordering chicken in a restaurant except for maybe when I was a kid. It just seems like such a waste, do you ever order chicken in a restaurant?

The Backwards Man · 27-07-2013 07:14PM

Depends whether or not you consider KFC a restaurant or not, I suppose.

keelanj69 · 27-07-2013 07:16PM

Chicken Korma. Oh yes!

Shredded chicken in the Chinese without fail!

Strangely enough people do this when they prefer it to a Steak or the Lamb, fecking weirdos they are :eek:

Ordering the hottest variety of chicken wings available is certainly not a waste!

Samuri Suicide · 27-07-2013 07:20PM

Waiter:Would you like to order?

Me:Yes please,I'll have the chicken

Waiter:OMG...You just ordered the ****!n chicken!!?!? Are you mental??!??!? Are you a kid or what?!?!?!

Ordering stuff you can make easily at home like chips,veg or even steak might be a waste but there's loads of chicken dishes.

Mmmmmmmhhhhhhhh. Hot hot hot

Chicken? Chicken?? I only eat the finest fillet mignon

The Backwards Man · 27-07-2013 07:28PM

You know what is good for a laugh?

Walking into a upscale restaurant, dressed to the nines, quick flash of the Gold Card to the waiter as you are seated at the table. . . .

. . . . and then ask him if they have any alphabetti spaghetti.

Or, as they call it in Ireland, fillet.

Yes, but it has to be taken rare.

Wompa1 · 27-07-2013 07:32PM

I usually get the chicken...I mostly eat chicken though

for the lady. And I'll have - oh - yes I'll go with the sausage and chips.
What fizzy orange do you have this evening? A fanta perhaps

truebluesac · 27-07-2013 07:34PM

I dont understand people who order steak every time they eat out . When i eat out i love to treat my taste buds with some fine and different foods than what i can make at home . I can get a fine sirlion or fillet steak in the butchers for a fiver and i can cook a preaty dame good steak so it just seems a waste to spend close to or more than a score for somthing i can cook to the same level at home

Gummy Panda · 27-07-2013 07:35PM

I like chicken though!

Lapin · 27-07-2013 07:36PM

The chicken is probably made out of horse anyway.

I rarely bother cooking steak at home so I tend to order it out a lot
trying to change that though!

Can be if ya just trow it on the grill . I like to lightly marinate and season it . Rosemary goes great with steak . Cook it from room temp . 2-3 mins each side then into the oven for approx 10 mins for a lovely medium steak .

Abit of effort goes along way with steak and can taste even better than an expensive restraunt

When I'm at home I throw a lock of frying steak on the pan.

When I'm at a steakhouse I am regaled with a chateaubriand. Big difference.:)

whats the point ordering a steak when you could train a monkey to cook it

awec · 27-07-2013 07:54PM

I honestly very rarely order chicken (specialty chicken restaurants aside).

I usually use eating out as a chance to get a really good steak.

Again, I fully agree.

Tha steaks served in most restaurants most probably are out of the fridge on under the grill though.

I must try your method. 3 or 4 minutes in the oven would do me though.
Nice and rare with all the juices !

As for this joker.......

I'd always order tandoori chicken in the Indian, beef szechwaun in the Chinese, spaghetti bolognese in the Italian and depending on how the mood takes me either salmon or bacon and cabbage in Irish restaurants or pubs.

I ordered battered squid in Corfu once- it didn't go down well. It was like chewing on elastic bands and then when I managed to chew through one with my teeth, it slipped down the length of my windpipe and I almost choked. I saw the big burly waiter coming for me and figured there's no way I'm letting that guy give me the heimlich, so I ran outside and made myself throw up!
