I have four beautiful kids that I have to cook for them at times.
They don’t hesitate to complain, if they’re unhappy with what I have prepared.

I know, I know, they are spoiled but what is a mother to do.
I am forever trying to make good meals regularly but I need to learn how to cook first!

I always have the urge to experiment in the kitchen and one day I decided to invent my own free chicken recipe.
I went to the supermarket and bought a package of chicken wings, flour, seasoning salt, black pepper and an onion.

Once I got home with everything I needed for my recipe, I put the chicken in a dish and covered the chicken with water.
I then seasoned it and placed sliced onions in it and placed it in the oven.

I let it cook for between a half hour and an hour, then mixed in some flour to make thick gravy out of the pan juices.

Apparently struck by delusions of grandeur, I boasted of my achievement to my family and guests.
It had a great aroma and made me anxious to eat it.
I made rolls to go with the gravy from the chicken.
I couldn’t wait to give them one of their favorite desserts, a yellow cake with white frosting.
Time had flown by and the aroma was stronger than ever!
Well, about 45 minutes later, I removed the chicken from the oven and thought it turned out great, from the looks of it.

I served my children a nice helping thinking they would love it.
As I was waiting to see the reaction, I got very excited when my 6 year old tasted it.

Of course a few minutes later I hear, ‘Mommy, are you going to make me eat it?’
There went my ego!
So, in the end I ended up serving them chicken nuggets, frozen ones at that which they enjoyed!
I have since named that meal a Chicken disaster - I actually thought it was pretty good myself.

I’m going to try and do some further tinkering with this chicken recipe until it turns out just right.

The ultimate goal is to seduce my children into loving it.
The hubby told me it was marvelous, but that was probably only to avoid a week of sleeping on the couch!
Next time I will think twice before trying a recipe with chicken.
