What to use as a meat mallet?!
I need to pound out some chicken, but I don't have a meat mallet, what could I use from around the house to tenderize and flatten out the chicken!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
+1 to the various suggestions of plastic bags or clingfilm - I also use parchment paper successfully!. Just lay a sheet on a chopping board, lay out the chicken on top of that, lay another sheet on top, and use whatever you have to hand - I quite often use my Pyrex measuring jug because I find I can apply pressure more evenly than with a rolling pin, plus handle-y goodness! A wine bottle will also do, in a pinch!. ;-)Www@FoodAQ@Com
You could use anything that has a little weight to it and a flat spot!. You can even use a regular hammer if you want!. That would be my first choice!.
Just be sure to put the Chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap or in a large baggie and it should be no problem!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, like everyone said!. Something heavy!. I have used a large stainless steel cooking spoon!. BUT even if you do use parchment, still wrap the chicken in plastic wrap or a large Zip Loc bag so that the juices don't splatter anywhere and possible cause a health issue!. Good Luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
How about the side of a hammer or other heavy tool you might have laying around or heavy rolling pin!.!.!.just make sure to put some plastic wrap over it first and your good to go!
