Chicken Maryland with a cheesy crusted skin

Posted by Gary

I do love Chicken Maryland

I’ve posted a few Chicken Maryland recipes here but I can’t help myself it’s my favourite cut of chook. The Chicken Maryland contains the best parts of the chook, viz., thigh meat, lots of excellent skin and the crunchy cloaca with a level of fat that gives it so much flavour.

Paprika chicken means altered dreams for Yummy Lummy tonight

Posted by Gary

Paprika gives me altered dreams

Whenever I have paprika I have nightmares unless I’ve gone to sleep in a really happy mood and then I have very good dreams. 

It's a cold cold Tuesday night in Canberra. I'm enjoying chicken and pumpkin mash for dinner.
