Drunken Chicken
Bloomin' awesome! The original recipe for this is from Alvin who featured on Masterchef Australia in 2010 and 2022. I had the recipe from 2010 but in 2022 we can't access the Australian site to get Alvins 2.0 version. I…
Chicken Paprikash
Hungarian origin which gets its name from the liberal use of paprika. Rich and creamy it's a great filling midweek dinner.

Confit Boneless Chicken Wings
Boning a chicken wing is almost impossible unless you try this clever method of confiting the wing flats then pan fry to crisp up. Save the rest of the wings for another recipe. I buy duck fat via the internet…
Roast guinea fowl with haricot beans
A guinea fowl usually weighs around a kilo so will feed 2-3 people. In the restaurant I use the supremes (breast with thigh bone attached) and confit all the legs and wings however, it's a lot easier to roast two…
