I haven't made a beef cholent in at least a dozen years, probably more, and I don't remember how. We use chicken and at this point, like it better. But we have some guests next week who I want to treat very well, and who would absolutely think that chicken cholent is sacrilege, so I just bought a piece of flanken and now, I need your help.
Someone else at the table can't have tomatoes or sugar.
Thank you!!

Just add a hunk of meat to your regular cholent so that everyone can have what they enjoy.

You just put it in your cholent when you would add the chicken. That's all. You could have chicken also if you prefer.
If you want to go above and beyond sear it first. I'm not sure that would even help with flanken though. It's fine as is.
And if you bought it today you have to freeze it if you're going to eat it this Shabbos.

I usually put beef in my chulent, but would like to try chicken. How does this work? Do I just put a few pieces of chicken directly into the chulent? Or should I put the chicken in a mesh bag? I don't want chicken bones floating around. TIA

Use boneless legs with skin on (some kosher butchers call that capons- dark cutlets with skin that you can stuff).
Chicken with bones ends up all over the cholent. White chicken breasts dry out. Boneless legs with skin still on are quite good.

We do it that way too and in my opinion it's tastier than beef.

Do you slice the chicken before serving the chulent? Or just serve with intact chicken legs?
