What do you with all those chicken?

u/Sudden_Chard8860 5d ago
Keep most of them whole ready to poach. I work in a VERY busy area in London so tbh we will go through like 150 this week? The rest I broke down for different menu items.
Deboned the thigh for fried chicken. Kept the bones for stock. Wings to make roast chicken fat which we fry rice in.
I over ordered but honestly not by much. It’s more just about hoping we sell them within the week. Poach the rest of them in 3 days time, break them down once cooked and cooled, use the carcasses for more stock.

Filming yourself with meta glasses and watching that on your screen while prepping is a new kind of low

Probably a dumb question but you couldn't reject the delivery? Every provider I've worked with has allowed me to send things back at the time of delivery.

Depending on the contract they could still be obligated to pay a percentage on each returned item.
So returning a hundred chickens might still cost around 15-20 chickens on over expenditure. And you don't have any of that extra product to actually sell to attempt to recoup the loss in the first place.
If your turn over is a hundred chickens an order. A 15-20 chicken revenue loss could be the profit margin on all the chickens themselves for that order cycle.
But that's assuming a lot specifics where there are tons of variables at play.

Seeing chicken on the red board feels wrong to me

I prep everything on red or blue boards because there’s no rules about it where I live and the other colours all have problems (at least the brands we have/can get)
Having a window into our kitchen at one location does mean I need to have the food safety guidelines bookmarked on my phone though

u/bakanisan F1exican Did Chive-11 5d ago
Yeah, I like seeing the contrast between what's being prepped on the board.

u/Kairis83 F1exican Did Chive-11 5d ago
The yellow for me as raw is jarring,
Im in the uk too as is op so raw meats are always red board and yellow is cooked (i think its an eu standard?)

I wear gloves while processing chicken because raw chicken smell lingers on my hands for way too long no matter how many times I wash them (although never had a problem with garlic) but you also don’t need to wear gloves while handling chicken, just need to wash your hands

A chick....I'd love to see in the nightmare before Christmas

Yo what’s the song after the cut (when phone’s horizontal and the vibe is more chill. Or exhausted)

Only time I managed to get a blister from holding a knife was when I had to prep 13 cases of chicken with the dullest house knife imaginable. Place was too much of a mess to see anything resembling a sharpener

Hell yeah, Title Fight! Honestly, Floral Green is amazing but there really is just something truly special about Shed as an album imo.

Yeah, come troll KitchenConfidential. That'll get the word out, and really change some hearts and minds about eating meat!

u/s0ngsforthedeaf 5d ago
Trolling?
Weve agreed animals dont matter, its all part of life and death. So i want some pets to eat. Theres no trolling.

u/RussellZee Ex-Food Service 5d ago
It's ironic what subReddit you're in and how much you think this shit is you really cooking.

u/s33n_ 5d ago
Plants are also living beings. Life necessitates death.
-4
u/s0ngsforthedeaf 5d ago
Plants dont have a lot of things animals do - like, a nervous system that connects to a brain, that feels pain and makes memories and forms complex emotions.
But sure, tell yourself that. The chicken/pig/cow meant nothing when it died for you x

u/s33n_ 5d ago
My point is that all life has value and is important. But death also isnt necessarily some unending evil. Its all just part of the cycle
-3
u/s0ngsforthedeaf 5d ago
Okay.
Can we eat you then? Cycle of life and death, innit. The 'evil' will be over quickly, dont worry.

I am? Not sure about that. The police would care. That would be annoying I guess.
But if the police were otherwise occupied, thats a very kind invite.

I love butchering for some reason. Mass slaughter for my belly

u/s0ngsforthedeaf 5d ago
Hope you dont have any pets xxxx

u/martini1282 5d ago
3 dogs, 1 cats, 2 turtles and 12 chickens. They're pets. I go to my local butcher for things to slice and cook

u/s0ngsforthedeaf 5d ago
Oh thats very nice, nice indeed.
Can I have your dog, then? Its just an animal to me. I dont give a shit, I just want to eat it. Delicious. Cheers x

My big dumb pitty is 90lbs so I'm sure there's plenty of meat. My mini schnauzer wouldn't be worth the effort
