Requirements and Chicken Casserole
I made a great Chicken Cider Casserole last night. It was the second time I've made it, although it was a lot bigger this time with more vegetables (peas, carrots, leeks, baby sweet corn, yellow pepper and potatoes) and with a kilo of thighs and drumsticks (skinned, seasoned with Lawry's and sealed in the same pan the bacon was cooked in and the gravy is made in), so a whole can of cider was necessary this time around. Definitely nicer with the meat on the bone rather than the cubed breast pieces I used last time. The chicken on the bone was nice and moist having only been seasoned and slightly sealed before getting combined with the vegetables and gravy. The whole thing was then covered cooked for about 2 - 2.5 hours in a 180 degree (celsius) oven.
After everyone had eaten and left (positive comments all round), I decided I needed a proper requirements document before going any further with my recipe site, so I'm going to hold back on the full database design until this is completed. The more I've thought about it, the more features I think the site should have, and so getting them all written down beforehand has now become a must.
Thankfully there are still leftovers of the casserole and judging on how well the last one went down on the second day, I reckon it should be really nice. Probably not much chicken left though.
