Microwaved chicken can be really tasty. Just no crisp skin but
the chicken meat can be cooked perfectly in a microwave. I
sometime get a last minute thought to have some chicken. It's
frozen so I do the microwave thing and it works well. Don't be
such a purist. If you want some crisp skin, just peel it off the
frozen chicken after the first 2.22 minutes of microwave thawing.

After sitting a bit, continuing microwaving the meat in small
steps and pan fry the skin on some oil. Babies here scorn
microwaved chicken but only those that have never tried it. It
works well.

Sometimes it seems like many here just want to show off some
nifty dinner. I like good home cooking and I'm not afraid to
write about a nice simple meal.

Not everyone here can be Steve posting every exotic meal and
ingredients imaginable several times a day. And very rarely a
repeat meal either. Something is very wrong with that, imo. Maybe
his food looks good but tastes like crap. Why wouldn't he repeat
the occasional meal if it was all that?

I would never repeat (or even have started) that creepy whole
octopus meal. Sorry but that's really messed up.
