orange chicken!?

quijibo

for my sick dog with a sensitive stomach, i've been buying a lot of steamed chicken from a local chinese take-out restaurant
no salt. no nothing. just steamed chicken

and i've noticed something weird.
little orange-red dots here and there, on the chicken meat
kind of like if somebody with a red sharpie has laboriously marked every other piece of chicken with a dot :shock:

can anyone explain what i'm seeing?
i know it can't be good -- have you noticed it also... and what is it?

I think it's fat that's coming from the skin and leaving deposits, but I don't cook, so what do I know?

Doesn't sound good. Boil up your own chicken from the store. I do cook and that sounds weird.

I have no idea what you are seeing there but even if you are not a cook if there is a stove and a frig get a deboned chicken breast ,put it in a small covered pot, enough water to cover the breast and in 20 minutes cooking over low flame you will have boiled chicken. Shredd it up, put it in covered dish in frig and it will be good for a week.
And now on to my recipe for chicken cordon bleu!!!

you can always go with canned chicken if you can get it away from Shish's doggie

probably blood dots.

ok and even if they are blood dots.. I wouldn't eat that chicken.. don't feed to your pet..
Let's go back to the old testament.. Eggs that were considered un-kosher had BLOOD spot. The idea of kosher meat ( in part) has to do with eliminating with excess blood from the meat by soaking in a salt solution to get blood out.

By now the vegetarians reading this have retched..

Bottom line.. once you noticed these spots I am sure you realized this chicken was not fit for animal or human consumption.

I don't understand. Why would fully cooked chicken have blood dots on it? I know they said it was just plain chicken, but my guess is that the dots are remnants of some spice. Just my guess.

Hey Drunken guest... back off.. no reason to be so unkind.

you can also boil a chicken thigh or two with plain rice for sick dog -
2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice, 1 or 2 chicken thighs all in one little pot.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer and cover for about 20 minutes.
Shred the meat off the bone after it's all cooked and cooled.

I'm going to crosspost this to Pets . . .

i've been doing the above for my dog
boiling 4 chicken breasts at a time which lasts a few days

she loves the ritual more than anything, of having me slave away cooking her dinner

the brown rice i can't deal with and i get that from the No-Pork-Halal on 4th + Dean

i still haven't gotten an answer as to the origin of the orange-red spots tho'.... :-k

MOD

Hey Q, the No-Pork-Halal place on 4th, is that place good? what have you had there?
Is that were you got the orange chicken?
I've been wanting to eat there, but get side tracked by the tastyness next door at Dean St Grill.
