Did you know you can make chicken taste like beef?

I come home last night and she's all excited about her meatballs. I've been here long enough I'm kinda like "I'm sure it's amazing" but I was brushing it off. We both cook really well.

THAT'S CHICKEN!

Like what?

She just threw in beef stock. They taste really good too I'm about to eat the whole thing 😂

That sounds like a fun surprise 😄
Using beef stock is a classic flavor trick. The stock, plus browning the chicken well, gives those deep Maillard flavors we associate with beef.

I once had “fake beef” yakitori in Tokyo made from chicken thighs marinated in strong beef dashi and soy. Same mind‑bending effect. Add a bit of Worcestershire or mushrooms next time, and it gets even “beefier” 🥩🐔

no. stock gravy is not enough for flavor. also texture differs.
