spatchcocked chicken experience
Accomplished! Accomplished!
My first cookery mission, after a gezebillion months of planning.....is finally...proudly said, accomplished!
It was really an indescribable experience. Madness. Madness. Throughout the whole entire process, the only thing that was ringing in my head was that, "Mom's gonna kill me. Mom's gonna kill me." Cause Chris and I both messed up the kitchen SO bad! Teehee. But hey, turns out, she didn't even notice the splodge of water near the sink where El Nino hit.
See that fine looking young man? THAT is my sifu, Ja-Mie Oh-Li-Va. Man I absolutely, ultimately, crazily, hocus-pocusly ADORE him! Saw him on tele just yesterday and his daughter is the kiutest THING you can ever see on air! POPPY HONEY (her name! uhuh uhuh.)! Deliciouso! *yum yum* So fleshy.
So what was on the menu? Erm. It was SUPPOSE to be this Grilled Spatchcocked *blink blink* Chicken with New Potatoes, Roast Asparagus and Herby Yoghurt.
Well. Stressing on the word SUPPOSE. Ngyah haaa.
What we did was...Instead of a SPATCHCOCKED chicken....Oh by the way, it looks...*sticks tongue out* ...something like this *scribble doodle*. Nothing vulgar or obscene or nything, though the name may have suggested so. Teehee.
Yeah. We basically revamped almost the whole recipe!
Can you believe that the ENTIRE vege section in Carrefour and Tesco did not have ANY signs of the existence of poor old asparagus?? It was horrendous trying to hunt it down! So at the very last minute, I decided to just give up and take Mr. Brocolli home instead. Teeheee. Me like the mini trees.
So yeah. That was that.
Then we couldn't get that spatchcock positioned chicken. So we ended up buying the fibery *yelllghh*, however, boneless chickidy. I wanted to cut off all the fats but Christopher likes it too much apparently. Ngyeh. So, ya ya. We didn't get to defrost it in time, so we had to use the microwave machine. Aiyo. Some parts of the chiki were cooked! Can you imagine...And some parts were still frozen. So....tak betul.
But we went on with it anyway. Ngyah ha.
Instead of using fresh fragrant herbs, like, parsley and mint and chervil and marjoram, we ended up getting convenient old McCormicks! RM 11.95 in a mini bottle which we added to almost everything; the yoghurt, the chicken, the marinade.
Oh oh. I think we used TOO much lemon! It was bleaming sour!!! Our faces were making funny movements while trying out everything. Well, mine at least. My tongue stuck out AT LEAST 20 times throughout the whole thing.
But DESPITE ALL that...I loved the experience. It was really something. So I will put up the recipe one fine day, in case anyone wants it. (^^,) It was actually quite nice k.. (though I didn't finish it). My brother loved it. *shrug* Here are some piccies. Teehee.

Once upon a time there was a cow. Yes. A cow. And this cow had a friend. Friend was a sheep. See, both of them were green. In that place they lived in, all things were made green. The mushrooms, the potato land, the trees, the mosquitoes. And suddenly came down a star, CRASHING down to their planet, and ALL things became kalerful! And that star was ME. Rachelli. Ngyahahaha. *Scwoll down pwease*
