Pre-cut chicken ? I'm unsure why that would be an issue, necessarily. Just means it's processed in the factory and sold pre-cut. Depends on how it was stored etc.
When it comes to takeaways, you just don't know what you're eating. If you make it at home, at least you know that there aren't any 'funny' things going in it.
douglas, it's very rare that any post on here makes me laugh out loud, but your comment about - ahem - spotted Dick hit the spot! You can come to my next party
Sorry to be off-putting, but if you eat dead flesh, you have to accept that what you eat may not be what you think it is. (Shudder). Have you considered ordering the curried mixed vegetables at the Chinese takeaway? Honestly, it is a really lovely dish, filling and satisfying and you can see exactly what you are eating. I can thoroughly recommend it. Our Local Chinese here on the North Coast (of NI) does a beautiful curried mixed veggies.
Get yourself a couple of chicken breasts JJ. Cut them into small pieces, then put them in a pyrex dish. Then get a good jar of curry sauce of your choice, pour over. You could add a few veggies or peppers. Cook on no: 5 or 180 for an hour. Lovely curry dish and you know what's gone in it!
