A no-nonsense, fairly silly, guide to cooking during the apocalypse.
This guide will teach you how to cook, how to make your own recipes, basic fundamentals of cuisine, why brown is the tastiest color, how to prevent your pee from attracting maraud...
You honestly thought I was going to teach you how to break down a chicken and not show you how to cook it? C'mon.
The thing about cooking chicken is that they can be a bit...plain to eat without a side of deliciousness. And what better side for a delicious chicken dinner than a salad and sauce?
That's right. Everything that we have learned so far is going to be put to the test here. We are going to make delicious chicken dinners! Or lunches. Hell, even breakfast. It's the end of the world, I ain't gonna judge. You do you, boo.
We are going to start small and go up in difficulty. Remember that fowl has to be cooked until it achieves an internal temperature of 74°C/165°F so it leaves the DANGER ZONE! If you fond have a thermometer, then make sure to cut into it to make sure there isn't any pink part. All we want is some white and brown goodness.
Time to make your first wasteland lunch.
CORDON BLEU WITH AURORA SAUCE AND POTATO SALAD.
Legend has it that this meal was created by the personal cook of Henri III of France, and it was so good and innovative that the cook was inducted to the highest order of knights in France, L'Ordes des Chevaliers du Saint-Esprit, whose symbol was a blue ribbon. Blue ribbon in French is Cordon Bleue. Words are funny like that.
For this, we are going to take a supreme, and do something called butterfly. To butterfly is to open the supreme in half, like a book. Or a butterfly. It is super easy, and I'm gonna run you through the basics so you can do it too.

To butterfly a chicken supreme, first, get a sharp, thin knife. Your chef knife will work, but the l boning knife will be the best. Then place your hand on top of the boneless, skinless chicken supreme, slice horizontally into the chicken by the thick part, dividing it half. Stop about a half-inch from the opposite side. When done, you should be able to open up the chicken like a book so it lies flat. You should have a cute heart-shaped chicken.
