Yay! Ginger banana chicken!!

It's been awhile since I posted something, because the day after my last post, I went bye bye to the hospital. Since then, the last thing I cared about was posting recipes for the internet. Which I'm pretty sure nobody reads.

Anyway, earlier today I was feeling mopey and made some pig bacon. Like, whoa. I forgot how good that terrible stuff is. So then the pan sat there all day with that poor pig's fat in it, and tonight I decided to cook some chicken in it (it's a free-for-all death for animals day).

I cooked skinless chicken thighs (bone in) on medium/high until they were brown. That happened really fast and they got super awesome brown, which never seems to happen with just olive oil.

I remembered I have a huge piece of ginger, so I grated a big pile. Then I saw our sad pile of clementines that were getting all wonky and dry. Only one was actually bad, so I juiced the rest (um, 6?) and put the ginger in it.

Then I poured it all over the chicken and recovered it with the splatter thingie. I left it alone for awhile, then decided on a whim to chop up a banana and throw that in. I turned the chicken over and squished it around to get coated and mix up the sauce, then left it for awhile longer. I really have no idea how long this all took. However long it takes to cook four bone in chicken thighs, I guess.

Once I decided they were cooked enough, I ate them. They needed some salt sprinkled on, but other than that, they were delicious!! I'll bet they would have been great with some beans&rice or platanos and salad, but I didn't care about that. I just wanted to eat.
