best place ever

There's a restaurant just a few blocks down the road from where I work called "Dodo's chicken" And they have...you guessed it, chicken. Roasted chicken. They roast what looks to be about 30, maybe 40 birds at once.
You can get a whole roasted chicken and a couple of sides for $12.

You guys have any places like this you love? mmmmmm chicken

man that sounds expensive! back home in the middle east you get a whole chicken for around 3 bucks. mind you everything is quite cheap over there. thats what i hate about the UK...every thing costs to much especially food!

wow!! $3 for a whole bird!!!

I've got a place around here called Charlie's Mongolian BBQ. They've got noodles, veges, and all kinds of meat like pork, beef, shrimp, crab, steak and everything else you can imagine. One plate is $7. I can get it sticking up about 6 inches. Its all frozen at first so it's kinda hard to get it to all stay but once you've mastered it, guaranteed you will need a take home box.

I buy a whole chciken for $2 at the grocer and grill it myself and add different herbs each time.

well yeah, cooking it at home is obviously going to be cheaper, but in a pinch when I run out of food, it's a good meal

alex · 03-15-2007, 04:25 PM

how much protein do you guys reckon there is in a whole medium sized chicken?

Penguin · 03-15-2007, 04:32 PM

Chicken, broilers or fryers, meat and skin, cooked, roasted:
2 halves, bone removed (whole chicken with out the bones) 598g total weight (about 1.3lbs)
according to USDA has about:
163g protein
81g fat
0g carbs

there's a lot of variance i think

alex · 03-15-2007, 04:34 PM

so half a chicken will probably get in enough protein....

Nope, get a large one and down that! That should be sufficient

Never even bothered to wonder about the protein amount in a whole chicken. Good to know, its very easy to eat the whole fucker!

hahaha I dunno man, I've never actually HEARD you talk.

I imagine there won't be much time for talk at that wedding you are going to. Crashing a wedding just for the mountains of food!!! Just wait until the ceremony is over before you dig in

Oh, I guess it's too late for me to get a ticket to join you...oh well.

It's about time to eat again...
