Chicken and Potato: CRITICAL FAILURE

Alternative Title: Steph lets David cook.

Well. That was certainly an adventure. Let me I'll give this recipe in first person and present tense:

• First I cup up the chicken into bite size peices. Unfortunately we only had skin-on and bone-in chicken thighs. I should have taken this as a sign, but I ignorantly continued on
• Shake up the bite size pieces of chicken with 2 tablespoons of flour, 2 teaspoons of paprika, and on a whim, a ton of powdered red pepper and other hot things I could find in the kitchen. This would prove to be a critical mistake
• I shook and distributed over the chicken, threw it into a pan on Med-High and cooked with some a ridiculous amount of garlic, mushrooms, and whatever other random things I could chop up and throw in.
• At this point, it started smoking. I was having a hard time being near the smoking inferno. Jake started snorting/coughing uncontrollably. It seems I used way too much red pepper. I saved Jake by letting him outside, and tried to brave the smoke as best I could.
• I opened most the windows, but it did little to clear the fog. Bella started bleating her discomfort, and orbit tried to claw her way out the window. I pictured Stephanie finding me in the kitchen: Killed by cooking.
• However, all ended up well. The smoke cleared and I seemed to have some kind of edible mess.
• I threw it onto a potato.
• I may never cook again.
  

Steph's poor pan...
