I dunno. S is back home, so I'm sure he'll figure something out 😂

Pasta bake with meatballs
Perrogies with sausage and mixed veggies
Bacon, eggs, pancakes
Leftovers
BBQ sandwiches
I need to run to the store for milk and fruit. We are almost down to 2 apples and a handful of lemons.
I think I might have some canned peaches I can break out, but F is not a fan of canned fruit.

Every time I spatchcock a chicken, it takes for.ev.er. to cook. Like, way longer than all the recipes say it should. And I use a cast iron and brown it first before putting it in the oven. So what am I doing wrong?!

Is it the same with all other baking?
I would say using cast iron and not pre-heating it in any way will cause the issue, but if you are searing then baking, it will be warm for the oven.
My only thought is the oven isn’t holding temperature well. Or the chicken is getting over cooked.
You can also use something like a Meater to watch temp and cooking time in the oven as it goes. We have one and love it for big roasts or chicken because it keeps an expected cook time. Then I can start my sides based on time left.

And the MEATER tells you internal, target (based on your meat and how done you want it), and ambient temp.
You don’t need to get this one, but i highly recommend one you can keep in the bird and watch. Then you don’t need to open the oven.
If you are taking it in and out several times, it can be part of the problem.

And I leave it in there for a good 40-45 min before checking. We ended up eating the baked sweet potatoes, green beans, and leftover sweet potato soup last night b/c the chicken took so long to cook. But I was so frustrated that I didn't even eat. I think I am officially never cooking chicken in the oven again. |

My family has survived and even thrived. |
