A new challenge.
My boy is helping at the shop so I have much time to spend at the kitchen in the morning. He wants me to cook chicken for him everyday. Previously I hardly cooked chicken. I usually fried fish for him.
Well, he's skinny and we told him he has to eat a lot of protein so as to put on weight. His sister told him to eat eggs and bread in the morning and eat chicken as his main dish for his meals.
Normally, my cooking is very simple. Now I have to think of ways to cook chicken everyday. Recently, I cooked the chicken below which tasted good for my boy. I just simply seasoned them with light and dark soya sauce for a couple of hours. I also added honey and coarse black pepper. Then I fried them. They turned out nice. He liked them.
Guess I have to google for more ways of cooking chicken.
To save your time you can buy all those raw chickens that have been pre- marinated in various flavours from hyper markets. My friend shared this but I never tried.
ReplyDeleteYour son is still young and there is no hurry to get fatter. I was like him once and now fighting battle to be skinny again..... Help!
I might try that. Thanks for the advice.
DeleteI was once skinny too..
You are still so healthy and fit. Everyone says that too.
DeleteThanks but I tend to be lazy to exercise..
DeleteIt's better for him to workout at the gym and build the bulk of muscles than consuming too much.
ReplyDeleteOh, he has started gym and increased his consumption too..
DeleteIs eating chicken meat better than eating fish if one wants to have more muscles?
ReplyDeleteone needs lots of protein..chicken is cheaper..
DeleteTry roast chicken !! It can never go wrong.. And it's easy too, clean & no oil splatters... You no need to open work and fry and wipe the oil splatter everywhere..
ReplyDeleteJust marinade the chicken, dump in the oven and bake.. Juicy, tender and easy too :)
Thanks! I should start using my oven..
DeleteI also bought a few chicken fillets the other day.. marinated them and now thinking of how to cook them... Now you give me an idea, I will do them this way one of these days.. :)
ReplyDeleteyes, it's so simple and delicious too..
Deleteyeah, chicken is the best source of protein but i guess one should also have a moderate and balanced diet to stay healthy too.. should convince your boy to also eat other meat lah, else you will really face a challenge to cook different types of chicken so that he doesn't get bored with it, hahahaha~~
ReplyDeleteyes, he's consuming fish and tofu too..
DeleteI'm already facing the challenge to cook varieties of chicken..
your boy is still young and skinny, so he can eat anything.. unlike me, eat anything and i can get fat easily but it would be so difficult for me to lose weight.. haiz!! how i wish i could share some of my meat and fat and weight to him, muahahaha~~ :D
ReplyDeleteme too..I wish I could give him some of my fat..
DeleteHow about chicken with kunyit. Just marinade with salt and kunyit powder then fry
ReplyDeleteI sure love it but I'm not sure if he likes it..
DeleteI ever saw Cold Storage got sell those already pre marinated...
ReplyDeleteI must go and have a look one of these days..
DeleteThat is nice! This is the simple fried chicken for your boy. I love it too.
ReplyDeleteI just cooked deep fried nam yue chicken wing for dinner last night. :p
Get him to take more protein, like those protein powder. But again, some people will remain thin no matter how much they eat. Their metabolism rate is high.
he has taken protein powder but it didn't help..
DeleteHow about chicken with mushroom and potato or you want it just to cook only chicken, don't want to mix with anything?
ReplyDeleteI tried with potatoes and he liked it..I will try with mushrooms but I don't think he will eat them.
DeleteTry this, use boiled egg (have to peel the shell) cook with drumstick or chicken thigh, all my nephews and nieces like this dish!!!
DeleteOk thanks..will try that.
DeleteHave fun experimenting! :)
ReplyDeleteyes, it's fun actually..
DeleteGood afternoon wenn!
ReplyDeleteWhat a hot day here in Taiping!
Well, you are right, Google or Youtube sure have many ways of cooking chicken, hehe~
Deleteyes, I must start googling..
DeleteIt's not difficult to marinate your own chicken... Those pre-marinated might not suits your taste eh~
ReplyDeletevery true..I suppose I better marinate my own..
Deletecooking has always been a big challenge to me...lack of ideas what to cook.
ReplyDeletewe need to experience new recipes..
