Topic: Jb's pre cooked chicken

[ELW]

I have only used this one recipe for pre-cooked chicken but I do like it, could almost eat the leftovers which remind me of a basic chicken curry! I too, also added in whole spices mentioned at the beginning but did not cook'em for 5 mins, only for 1 min before adding G\G

It won't taste like bir basic chicken curry if no onion gravy is used though pugs.
It will taste a little less sweet or more bitter,as in homestyle curry.

I think the best way is just to simmer in some base gravy for 20 mins whilst doing other prep. Enhances the base as well

Enhancing the base with chicken stock(made from bones /carcass)
& vegetable stock from pre cooked veg is a widespread restaurant(not curry forum)method also ed.
You can imagine why it's an aspect that's not publicised in web videos. There's no labelling either.
 I love it though & couldn't give a monkey's tbh

Would you recommend doing a large batch of this and freezing it? Or would it compromise the flavour? also... what do you do with the remanence left in the pan after you take the chicken out?

I personally find that pre-cooked chicken (esp breast) comes up a bit dry if it's frozen/ reheated. I occassionally freeze chicken tikka, but undercook it before freezing. You could experiment.

Waste nothing! The leftovers make excellent bombay potatoes.
