Dump Chicken

Basically the premise is to dump ingredients into a ziplock bag and when you’re too tired from work to come up with a new idea for dinner, grab a bag and cook it. Or throw it in the crock pot in the morning before you leave for work!

Here’s how you make it…

1.Mix all the ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring consistently, until it is too thick to stir with a spoon.

2. Cool for 15 minutes, or until the dough is cool enough to touch. Knead it for about 5 minutes, or until smooth. Keep dough wrapped in plastic.

Once you have molded it, it will take 1-2 days for the clay to dry. The length of time depends on how thick your craft is: If it is a flat ornament, it may only take 1 day, if it is thick it will take much longer. This clay can be painted with either Tempera or acrylic craft paints.
