How I stopped my neighbour’s chickens from entering my farm with a simple diy hack

My farm is seven years old this year and it is desperately in need of some financial investment at this point. It needs a better fencing from my neighbor’s chicken which have been devastating for my vegetable patch; it needs gravel for pathways because my diys don’t seem to hold up the weeds much longer and I end up reworking the same pathways over and over again; it needs trenches to ease the water logging during rains and it needs an irrigation system. I am so done with the perpetual weeding, the short-term fixer-upers for water logging that suffocates my trees and all of which is labour intensive and is costing me more than a one-time investment of good systems in place. As it always is, we try to space out our bigger investment projects to give us time to recover, and now it’s about time. Can’t put it off any longer.

Home-made Chicken Burgers

20170827_143031 (1)

We as a family love Burgers, especially chicken burgers. Though we are conscious about not adding junk food to our diet, to tell you the truth, we do love our occasional guilt- pleasure trip to McDonald’s. It’s one of those things we took to from our trip to the US and it’s been difficult to shake it off.

My kids are great fans of burgers and this recipe is an attempt to make it as healthy as possible and still indulge our taste buds. So here’s our little twist to the quintessential crowd puller.

Ingredients:

Burger buns – as required

Chicken – Breast/thigh pieces (approx. size of a patty)

Onions – 2

Tomatoes – 2

Lettuce – a few leaves

Garlic – 2 cloves crushed

Chilli powder – ½ tsp

Coriander powder – ½ tsp

Red chilli flakes – 1 tsp

Crushed pepper – ½ tsp

Soya sauce – 1 tbsp

Chilli sauce – 1 tsp

Tomato sauce – 1 tsp

Italian herbs – basil/oregano (dried )

Oil (for frying) – 3 tbsp

Salt to taste

Method:

  • Wash the chicken pieces and pat it dry.
  • In a bowl, add the chicken along with all the spices namely chilli powder, coriander powder, red chilli flakes, crushed pepper ( being an Indian, I like my chicken spicy, so this is my way of adding heat to the dish. You can adjust your spice according to your requirement) and salt.
  • Rub the dry mix on the chicken pieces. Now add the sauces, Soya, chilli and tomato sauce.
  • Add the dried herbs and let all the ingredients marinate well.
  • Take a pan and heat some oil. To this add one chopped onion, one chopped tomato and crushed garlic and sauté it.
  • Add this mixture to the marinating chicken and let it rest for about half-an-hour.
  • Take a skillet and heat 3 tbsps of oil.
  • Frying the chicken pieces one or more at a time depending on your skillet size. I would prefer frying 3-4 pieces at a time to save time and energy and get to eating my burgers soon.
  • Once done, remove the skillet from the stove and get ready to assemble your burgers.
  • Heat a pan and gently warm the buttered burger buns and pile it up on a plate, ready for assembly.
  • Now here’s where ideally my kids take over and they do a great job.
  • Have your lettuce and the remaining tomatoes and onions (thinly sliced in round shapes) ready in a plate.
  • Assemble as per individual choices with variations to suit each pallete…
  • You could choose to add cheese slices if you like.
  • And tada…get ready to bite into some super moist, juicy chicken burgers

This is my original recipe and my take on chicken burger. Do give it a try, I am sure you are going to love it!
