No a piece of chicken! Read properly!

The potatoes have been part/hard boiled whatever the saying is!

And the oven is in the kitchen next to the cupboard with the ketchup in.

roast potatoes take about 40 mins to an hour depending how you like 'em but I would say that the chicken piece would be done way before that - it depends on the weight and cut really f

or a whole chicken its about 40 mins per kilo plus about half an hour IIRC

I'm not sure what sort of piece it is! How bad is that?

I think it's a breast but with either a foot or a wing attached to it?

:rotfl:

lol thats made me chuckle

I would say you've got a supreme which is the wing and breast (at least I think thats what its called!)

so if we says its quarter of a medium chicken its likely to be about 300 - 500g so I reckon if you leave everything in for an hour it should be ok - but keep checking after about 45 mins to check its not burning

the way to check if its cooked is when you stick a knife or skewer into a thick bit and press to see the juices run out. if they run out clear then you are ok - if they are cloudy or bloody then its not done. also the meat should not be pink it should be white (or yellowy if corn fed).

jeebers I hope you dont end up with food poisioning after my instructions!

make sure you post tomorrow so I know you are alive
