Autumnbabe,

Now I know why I've never tried Chicken New Yorker....

2, I'm not overly keen on BBQ sauce....

Thanks for the recipe & instructions....

No problem. My daughter says the sauce tastes like MacDonalds bbq sauce lol.
I was going to ask if you like curry. But the once in the sw curry book are hard work. They take ages and you have to put loads of different things in it.
What's your favourite to eat.?

Looking forward to the recipe.
I started on ee but now on red days which limits potatos.
But like you I think I may start clucking soon the amount of chicken we eat. My daughter is like oh not chicken again ! Lol.
My husband works nights so when he is home and I can cook for him I like to. Other wise I have simple things. Tonight we are having chicken tikka Masala. (he is having it with chips I'm being good and having salad.
