Pickles by Brian Crane for January 15, 2025

I buy a whole roasted chicken at the grocery store. I eat some, freeze some, and throw the rib cage away because it is too bulky for the freezer.

So Nelson, did you finally get your answer to your question, is chicken meat.

blackened chicken is on many restaurant menus

Earl’s a gourmet!

So they finally admit that it is meat. Opal said it wasn’t meat and that it was poultry and Earl said it was fowl

only one plate

looks like Nelson gets the whole bird to himself

I’ve learned one thing about chicken… Don’t keep it in your refrigerator for more than three days . . .I did that once with a whole Costco rotisserie chicken and ended up with a case of food poisoning. . .An awful experience for sure ! Eat what you can while its fresh and throw the rest away.

Earl’s definition of well done!

Our elderly cat Tuxie enjoys that roasted chicken too!

Good to see Earl serving dinner for once… No beginners luck this time.

The other white meat is actually red meat.

Get it while it’s still smouldering!

Cajun style blackened pigeon

Can’t beat the price on a rotisserie chicken at Costco!

Earl likes his meat well done. My dad seemed to feel that if beef wasn’t black on the outside, it was undercooked. He even preferred his toast black.

Earl actually cooked something! Very rare (get it, rare) hee!

Keep talking about it, Opal, and YOU’ll be Dead Meat.

If we take the advice from twilight zone “To Serve Man” then we can cure the poverty level in America and also deal with the illegal Mexicans at the same time.

Grandpa cooked a crow.

Its white meat only if you leave out the legs, thighs, and wings

He’s COOKING now..??? – - – - – When did THAAAAAT start..????

Cajun. (From my kitchen. Just listen for the smoke alarm(s) )

Time to call the local rotisserie!

To borrow from today’s Shoe, that chicken has definitely gone over to the dark side.

Or if you get it at a soul food restaurant, in which case it’s Black meat.

Well, thats certainly not chicken grilled on charcoal…yuuuuuuck

Cajun?

That’s why THIS Grandpa doesn’t cook.

Only the dry, tasteless parts are white; the good parts are dark.

With only four frames, he has to cook it fast, so he turns up the heat … way up.

fire blackened and charred chicken are haute cuisine.

Just like my mother used to make toast – burnt black, then scrapped to a golden brown!

There are chickens out there with black meat. I think it is the Silkie breed. Never had it myself (they are tiny chickens) but have seen it on cooking shows.

Interracial chicken!!

I thought the commercial said Pork the other white meat.

And to any alien visiting, you are white meat. That’s why were all different colors, so the aliens can pick different flavors for their snack.

Any sides?

My step grandpa was the same way when it came to chicken. He was so worried about not giving someone food poisoning, that it wasn’t done unless it was burnt. So almost every Sunday, for several years, we would go over to my step grandparents house and eat burnt chicken.

Did you grill the chicken? Yes, but he refused to say why he crossed the road.
