My father-in-law has it every time we go to or get a Chinese meal. He's so adventurous!!
I've never seen it on any menu but I'm interested to know what it is now, lol.It's on every Indian and Chinese restaurant menu, but did you ever see anybody ordering....?
not me.lol
Is it? Well....thats for the faint hearted who are too scared to try out all those lovely curries....for the guy next door who goes to Spain and eats egg and chips instead of trying out the local food!!
never saw it on the menu before. what is it?
Honestly can't say I've ever heard of it.
What the hell is that?
It might be in the good old u-s of a, but not here in the uk
it is actually english n Australia, the term "Chicken Maryland" refers simply to a whole chicken backbone, thigh and leg after the bottom half of the chicken has been cut into two. If the backbone is then removed from this piece, it is then called a "Chicken Supreme". In this case, however, the term Chicken Maryland does not imply any specific dish.



In the United Kingdom a Chicken Maryland is often included on menus in restaurants. Although often considered a kids' meal, adults will order it - it can be a large meal. It consists of battered chicken breast (or drumstick), chips, peas, banana fritter, pineapple fritter, bacon (or a slice of gammon) and fried battered onion rings. Indian and Chinese takeaways and restaurants will often include the meal in a 'European' or 'English' section of their menus.

I remember chicken maryland being on the menu in the 60's early 70's and it was deep fried chicken served with deep fried battered banana and pineapple and always served with chips and peas!!! Very healthy dish!
Yes my dear departed mother used to have it all the time! Not very adventurous my mum.
