Haha oooohh the screw-ups I've made.....

I remember feeding DP cold cooked spud, half-defrosted frozen vege and burnt chops LOL the sweet guy forced it down and complimented me I'd not been organised so all the end times just got mucked up. I've done a few corkers since getting preg with Ty too hahaha the fish and chip shop love us

I rub the chicken with butter, garlic, tamari and salt then chuck it in first thing in the morning. I keep it off the bottom of the crockpot and sometime during the early afternoon I might drizzle abit of the drained off liquid back over it to baste but only if I remember. About 30 minutes before we eat I pop it in the oven to crisp the skin up.]]> Thu, 06 May 2010 10:34:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33233&PID=1017832&title=how-do-you-roast#1017832 <![CDATA[How do you roast : Bizzy do you put anything in there...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33233&PID=1017217&title=how-do-you-roast#1017217 Author: Babykatnz

Bizzy do you put anything in there with it, like water, or just straight in on its own?

There needs to be like a handbook of things you should know when you move out of home. I really wish someone had told me the numbers on the washing machine were degrees, not just a random number that had something to do with the length of time your machine washes for. I had noo idea for AGES they were degrees.

Haha! That makes me feel better. Most people don't tell you about what they've screwed up, only that they are FABULOUS at making this and this and this... Lol!

I used one of those kings soup bases- got that cooking. Chicken doesn't look too sh*t hot so will just shred it into there. Sorted haha...

I've made some right screw ups too, Luckily DH and our old flatmate usually just put a kg of tomato sauce on it and would eat it anyways!

If I remember right, you put a little bit of water in the bottom, get an ovenproof small plate, tip it over in the bottom of the slow cooker, then sit the chicken on top??

Alright so I might take the butter out? It's only a little chicken- was a frozen one. (but thawed it out over night)

Might cook some nice veges then if it turns to crap I'll just shred it up and put it in a pot and make soup...

I don't put water, just the chicken, but I do put seasoning in the bottom, onions etc. And breast side down.
