Hi all

I have been volunteered to cook a meal for 2 tonight. I am defrosting 2 chicken legs and a bag of brussels & carrots (I'm OK for spuds).

However, I have no idea how long or at what temperature I need to cook the chicken or veg. My (fan) oven is graded in centigrade.

Can anyone give me some tips please?

I also have some pesto if that could be involved as it may seem exotic(!?) and earn me some more brownie points.

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks

    this is a list of all the recipes on here. its fab and i always check it when i am cooking.

    what about boiling the chicken , making tatties and carrot soup with the stock. for starters.

    then make a chicken pie with the meat and have it with tatties bake. with veg

    dont know about the pesto i dont use it. sorry

    enjoy your night !

    dont defrost your vegetables, they will be mushy when cooked.
    they always cook better from frozen
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
