Not really seeing the fail here. Quickest in this context would be quickest to prepare, aka take 5 minutes to toss it all in a crockpot, set it, and forget it. Go to work, come home, and have awesome chicken waiting for you.
exactly!! this is what is wrong with idiots.. they see something and have no idea at all about what it means and so they make stupid assumption which is the Fail here. The poster is a thick plank of wood.
I take exception to that comment, on behalf of several thick planks of wood near me.
These planks never submitted something they didn’t understand as a FAIL.
You have insulted some fine, decent (I might even say “upstanding”) planks of wood by this ill-thought comparison.
I would take a stand for poster, if you don’t cook me for that.
He was hungry “now, and not after 8-10 hours”.
So, even if it’s not real fail in the eyes of those who understands that it is ready FOR COOKING in just a two short steps, it is a “good” prank in the eyes of hungry ones who expected something ready FOR EATING in short time.
I’d say the poster is fail if he/she started prepping before reading the whole recipe. Then when he/she got to reading the cooking time, he/she would be all like, “awwww great!”
Obviously it means the preparation time is the “quickest” — you don’t need to mix it or anything, just throw it all in your crock-pot in the morning and you’ll have delicious food at dinner time.
Anyway, I like to add 1 package of dry ranch dressing mix in addition to the 1 package of dry italian dressing mix. And 1/2 cup of water instead of 1 cup. It seems like that wouldn’t be enough water, but it is (you’ll see). It’s really good, it’s one of the best chicken recipes, IMO.
Just a several decades ago it was not like this.
Its was it’s
it’s was ’tis
This is how:
” …
At the risk of giving aid and comfort to the “ungrammarians” among us, however, I must note that the difference between “it’s” and “its” was not always so definite. Until the 19th century, in fact, “it’s” was usually considered the possessive of “it” — in the Fall, a tree shed “it’s” leaves. The usual contraction of “it is” was “’tis.” Only when “’tis” came to be regarded as an archaic form in the 19th century did the use of “it’s” as a contraction of “it is” push out the use of “it’s” as a possessive. I know this is a bit hard to follow, but the point is that the “rule” used to be the exact opposite of what it is today.
…”
LOL, thats funny. The fools claim its the quickest chicken, but it takes 10 hours before its ready. Imagine the slowest chicken, 50 years, or perhaps 5 minutes?
Hey, the recipe is good; i hope i’ll remember when i’ve bought tons of chicken breasts and dunno what the hell i shall do with …. (gnee) …
so, maybe that’s the poster’s aim.
thanks, poster.
Obviously posted by some veggie wannabe, who can’t be veggie unless tries to force the whole world to join.
We all have seen such people too many times.
I apologize to real vegetarians for misunderstanding here.
I also don’t claim that real vegetarian would do anything like this.
If you read again, you will see the words “veggie wannabe”.
You will know the difference.
Love the people who just come here to bash failblog instead of having fun. Just accept that if you read quick and the ten hours that is kind of funny, except for all the buzzkills in the world ofcourse.
I think quick in this context is the opposite to fast. Bare with me. In modern English, quick and fast mean roughly the same thing. They used to mean opposite things. Quick meant moving, fast meant not moving. Think about quicksand and the expression “to hold fast.” Therefore, I think that this means that the meat will be particularly tender.
Quickness fail aside, this is a recipe fail. Since when are recipes about combining packet flavourings with water? Are there recipe books out there with recipes for two-minute noodles too?

I must also take a stand for the thin planks of wood which reside in my area. They take great offense to generalizations like this.

I agree. Anyone who has ever used a crockpot knows that this is a win.

People forget that there’s a lot of water in the meat, so they often add too much water when using a slow cooker.
Why use water when you use a liquid that will bring some flavor to the party. Like the broth the recipe mentions. Or wine.
No fail here. Failblog fail. Again.
If you want real quickest chicken, go to KFC…
The fail is that it takes 10 hours to cook, yet its called “quick”
Well done Einstein!
Yet another massive Failblog fail.
It seems Failblog is failing more than its subjects these days.
the fail here is idiots like you. you have clearly no idea what Quickest Chicken is do you? So stfu doouche.
*it’s
Fail.
“it’s” is an exception to the rule about possessives:
“It’s” always means “It is”, “its” always means “something belonging to it”.
Prediction. The year: 2199. The place: the Ultranet. The situation: people still being told when to use “it’s” versus “its”.
We cannot win. Let’s give up.
And yet there was no problem in Grade 2 when we first covered this.
Just a several decades ago it was not like this.
Its was it’s
it’s was ’tis

I’m calling BS on that! The author probably just uncovered someone’s mistake and figured everyone was writing that way.
The possessives have no apostrophes.
My, mine, your, yours, his, hers, ITS, our, ours, their, theirs… no apostrophes. No exceptions.
I hope you were trolling. look at the sentence he was correcting and read the rules you posted again. there was nothing possessive in the sentence.
LOL, thats funny. The fools claim its the quickest chicken, but it takes 10 hours before its ready. Imagine the slowest chicken, 50 years, or perhaps 5 minutes?
Quickest refers to prep time, not cook time. It is quickest because you just throw everything in a crock pot and leave, less then a minute of prep.
It’s probably even scanned out of a cookbook devoted to slow cooker recipes.
Hey, the recipe is good; i hope i’ll remember when i’ve bought tons of chicken breasts and dunno what the hell i shall do with …. (gnee) …
so, maybe that’s the poster’s aim.
thanks, poster.
Lol
Obviously posted by some veggie wannabe, who can’t be veggie unless tries to force the whole world to join.
We all have seen such people too many times.
You’ve made quite a leap to come to that conclusion.
Indeed he has. I’m vegetarian and Pacifix’s theory never even occured to me.
By golly, the recipe DOES use chicken, doesn’t it? Poor birdie.
I apologize to real vegetarians for misunderstanding here.
I also don’t claim that real vegetarian would do anything like this.
If you read again, you will see the words “veggie wannabe”.
You will know the difference.
I read it again. I made note of the words “veggie wannabe”. It still doesn’t make any friggin’ sense.
@cabbage: oh, hey, indeed. sometimes we are all blind, slow chickens.
Usage of “Reply” fail. Or too much usage of Twitter fail?
Laughing @ Borat’s ignorance of the latest trends.
Laughing @ Jane’s laziness.
Laughing @ my own lack of a life.
(In my defense: I just woke up and haven’t had a coffee yet. Also, I’m an idiot.)
It once took me three hours to prepare a dish called “Speedy Spaghetti”
That’s because you are a retar.d
Love the people who just come here to bash failblog instead of having fun. Just accept that if you read quick and the ten hours that is kind of funny, except for all the buzzkills in the world ofcourse.
Agreed
buzzkills indeed
I’m sorry, but I’m under no obligation to pretend that a submission is funny when it’s not.
Indeed. I want my money back.

I think I might try this recipe.
It says quickest but it takes 10 hours. Idiots. LOL. FAIL. ROFL
Hey, wow, you’re right! Thanks for pointing that out!
Well, it’ll still be ‘today’ when it’s done, if you start at 8 A.M.
there should be a section for failblog fails…
There already is. It’s called Failblog.
Wow, that’s pretty quick.
oh, i get it… it’s not quick at all….
The fail is the fact that your 10-hr chicken will taste like Italian dressing-flavored a**. But hey….it’s quick. Really?
I hope the Italian dressing doesn’t cover too much of the ass-flavor…^^
Hmmmm… I’ll have to try this. Sounds good. And quick since it would be done when I walk in the door after work…
If you say “quickest chicken” in quick succession, it starts to sound weird.
Obviously, the kid who posted this has never cooked a meal.
You mean instant ramen doesn’t count?
I think quick in this context is the opposite to fast. Bare with me. In modern English, quick and fast mean roughly the same thing. They used to mean opposite things. Quick meant moving, fast meant not moving. Think about quicksand and the expression “to hold fast.” Therefore, I think that this means that the meat will be particularly tender.
stupid fail

Quickness fail aside, this is a recipe fail. Since when are recipes about combining packet flavourings with water? Are there recipe books out there with recipes for two-minute noodles too?
Clearly you’ve never seen the recipes by Sandra Lee (look up her Kwanzaa cake recipe for a classic example of her style of “cooking”).
o.O
Thankyou for introducing me to that culinary delicacy Wenike.
