Friend of mine e-mailed me this a while back, but the link resurfaced in a thread on Slashdot. The ArsTechnica Cookbook of "Bachelor Chow" is compilation of recipes by geek fans of ArsTechnica. As you might guess, the recipes are of varying degrees of culinary comptency.
I damn near bust a gut laughing while reading this recipe:
Popcorn Chicken6-7 lb chicken,
1 cup melted butter,
1 cup stuffing,
1 cup uncooked popcorn.
Salt and pepper chicken to tastePreheat oven to 350 degrees.
Brush chicken well with melted butter, salt and pepper.
Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn.
Place in baking pan in oven.
