Do you believe in the myth of "engagement chicken"?

[Anonymous]

Has it "worked" for you or anyone you know?

Nope. I don't cook. Still got proposed to. My husband is the chef in the family.

Roasting a whole chicken is stupid. It’s not that hard to cut it up and then you can cook it much more evenly, and faster. You don’t roast a whole cow. Same thing.

I was just joking 😂... if a dude is impressed with a baked chicken... I’m not sure he’s all that hard to impress.

No, it's dumb.

You know how I got engaged? I asked my live-in, long term boyfriend if he wanted to get married and he said yes. It was way easier than making dinner. We did go out for steak frites later that day, though.

I got offered a promotion but it meant moving to another country. Told boyfriend I would only turn it down to stay together if we were engaged. No chicken required.

I thought this was going to be about both people waiting as long as possible for the other one to propose.

This is what I though too.

never heard of this but laughing because although I love to make roasted chicken but its one of those things that DH doesn't particularly like. Which is weird, because who can resist amazing roast chicken with a side of roasted rosemary garlic potatoes? come to think of it, maybe I *should* have made engagement chicken and married someone with better taste!!!!

I did have a 'go to' take it to the next level date night recipe though---involved risotto and a lot of wine.

It worked for Meghan Markle.
