The Month of the Chicken!

Well, we have less than two weeks left in July.  Which means I'm hard at work (well, not really. but I am talking about it a lot) on my August 2011 challenge: make a chicken dish every day.

A year seemed like a bit much.  (We like chicken, but not that much.  And I can't expect to take over my sister-in-law's kitchen come the holidays.  So a month seemed just right.)

Now, I'm not just going to do standard crockpot recipes or take the easy way out.

I really want to learn how to cook chicken.  Like, really cook it.  (Spoiler alert: there may or may not be some Julia Child recipes in the mix already.)  And we'll be using all different parts of the chicken.

This should be fun.  I'm excited about this.  Will is excited, too, even though I told him I probably won't be cooking any other time of the day, and he might have to eat cold cereal or chicken leftovers for breakfast.  He was okay with that.

I fully expect some flops or some mistakes in the kitchen.  That's okay.  I'll be brutally honest about the recipes and the mistakes that I made that sent us to the phone to call for delivery.  I promise to take pictures and post them daily, but only if you promise not to mock my photography skills.

(please.  no mocking.)

August 1, here we come!
