Topic: How was old school chicken served?

[JerryM]

quite a surprise the responses.

for us in the midlands the standard was off the bone "brown" meat - it was not specified as such on the menu it was just chicken. this actually is the tastiest meat and what i ask for when i'm out (i know it is stripped manually after cooking from the thighs and legs)

the chicken breast meat was the option and costed more on the menu. i don't recall tikka existing.

i never ordered any other meat.

Request for clarification: have you been conversing with a chef? I looked back, but I couldn't find this written anywhere, maybe I missed it...apologies, I'm borderline ADHD (especially when I'm cooking...)

Hi Goncalo,

I often frequent a local restaurant and enjoy good conversation with Ali who is the owner but has also spent much time in the kitchen over the years.

I haven't posted anything specific regards my chats with Ali as the snippets of info I get are are small and insignificant and usually take several visits to amount to anything worth considering. So not topic worthy as such.

Every now and then something pops up in conversation that I feel is worth investigating hence my question here.

Hope that helps.
