I like to have a good dinner party. Most of the time though my guests would prefer if I did not cook. Cocktails, wine, dessert, cheese I have proven skills in that arena. Cooking for 10….not so much. So how do you have a great dinner party without cooking? Order takeout? Hire a chef? Although both of those are fantastic ways to throw a dinner party without cooking I have another trick.
The Great Chicken Cook off:
We do this once a year and invite a few of our friends over to compete for tastiest chicken. It can be any variation of Chicken. Chicken salad, whole chicken, chicken pot pie etc… It is up to the contestants to choose. We have a fun competitive group of pals that relish any chance of bragging rights over the group.
The host provides, dishes, a salad and plenty of wine. With the wine selection it is key to have a variation because you have no idea what type of chicken is going to come. For sport we started with a Petit Syrah, Riesling and Pinot Noir. We added a Chardonnay and Zinfandel later.
Every year everyone has a great time and the food is plentifyul and divine. See below for pics of the most recent cook off food.
