       I've been playing with this YouTube recipe I found, which I'm calling "meme chicken."In the original form, "meme chicken" is half a bottle of French dressing, 1 can of cranberry sauce, and 1 packet of onion soup mixed up, with chicken breasts or thighs added and baked at 350F.OG meme chicken is VERY pretty, but sadly plain underneath the sauce/glaze. Womp womp.But I figured marinating the chicken in the glaze overnight would help a lot. I already know that adding garlic helps, too. (cont)

       Finally, I absolutely LOVE the taste and texture of Chicken Tikka Masala, which demands marinating the chicken overnight in yogurt before cooking.So, last night I mixed up the meme chicken glaze, added a healthy dose of garlic, and about a cup of Greek yogurt.Today, I pulled the chicken from the marinade, put it in the oven in a greased roaster at 400F, and I plan to char it on both sides before adding the marinade back in, reducing to 350F, and covering.I'm doing the 400F part right now.

       @grimmy when it's in the slow cooker, it's gonna take so long I don't really think of it as a food option until it's pretty close to ready.This is an uncomfortable middle ground... it's gonna take about 90m total to cook, which is really longer than I should be waiting until I eat right now, but it's close enough I don't want to "spoil" it either 😂

       @jimsalter Fair. The main problem with the slow cooker is it just makes the whole house smell delicious 🤣
