The Bachelor Gourmet

I've always wanted to write a cookbook of bachelor cooking, getting entries from all my friends. Here's a start with two recipes that you can use when you have nothing in the fridge but chicken, ketchup, and Coke. For both recipes, prepare the chicken by removing fat and cutting slices into the chicken to allow the flavors in.

Ketchup Chicken. Smother chicken in ketchup. Let sit for a while. Bake in the oven. Serve with Coke. Submitted by bachelor Roberto Quispe.

Coke Chicken. [Optional: sear chopped garlic in oil]. Add chicken to heated oil [and garlic] and pour Coca-Cola in enough to cover the chicken. Simmer until the Coca-Cola is almost dried up. [Optional II: Halfway through, add mushrooms and sliced raw carrots to the 'soup']. Add pepper and remove from heat. Serve directly. Submitted by bachelorette Chen Yi.
