Chicken San Francisco

If you cook as much as I do, I am sure you will be interested in the "Official" recipe for "Chicken San Francisco." This is courtesy of someone named Beverly R. who posted the recipe as "the recipe of the week" on some g*y website. Reading about this chicken dish reminds me of an episode several years ago during a family dinner where one of the guests asked my mother what the name of the chicken dish was called (which he was enjoying so much.) My mother, who is not known for her culinary skills proudly said "I call this is pineapple chicken" to which my uncle responded "we like to call this it tastes like sh1t chicken."

In any event, as far as the recipe for San Francisco Chicken goes, I will get right to the skinny of it all. The recipe to me looks pretty standard. Almost to the point of not mentioning. Basically you take some nasty chicken, stir it up with some spices (not sure which exact ones make it SF style), and then you cook it in a skillet. Then comes the part that caught my eye. The Dutch Oven. Call me naive, but I always thought the Dutch Oven was when (while in bed with your girlfriend, wife, etc.) you unleash the hugest fart, cover her with the comforter, and waft it around for her to enjoy the heated aroma. Apparently, according to Beverly R. however, the dutch oven is in fact some sort of oven in which you can cook chicken. I don't even want to Wikipedia the real 'dutch oven' because I get too much enjoyment out of imagining any sort of analogy it may have to the afformentioned procedure. It is probably just some lame oven you can buy at Costco and I would just be disappointed.

I did look up the real dutch oven. I never realized I had one at home. I've been living a lie all these years.
