Roasting A Chicken

[kevin313]

This is so simple, yet to me, so good. Nothing fancy, just a moist and flavorful chicken that beats most of the rotisserie chickens I've tried in the stores.

Seasoning is the key

I like roasted chicken as well, but you need to get the seasoning right and not over cook the bird. And preferences abouts seasonings vary widely.

So mouthwatering again !
You guys really should have your own cook show on TV instead of Youtube only.
Did you use the "Bake" setting for the chicken ? I`m curious because I saw the bottom element glow and I take it you can only have either top or bottom heat in the States.

I do whole chic alot in the NuWave. Always have good luck.

I do a version of this with butter, a ton of minced garlic, and some fresh parsley. I use a catheter tip syrunge to inject the mixture into the legs, wings, and breast meat.

Depends On One's Mood

But roast fowl (turkey, chicken,etc) goes either into the convection ovens or the vintage Sunbeam rotisserie.

Convection can give a juicy bird but you really have to watch the time and use a good probe thermometer. There is only a small window between done and wind blown/dry meat.

I like to use fresh whole sage leaves

from the herb garden and put them under the skin along with large pats of unsalted butter & kosher salt all round. Also, being from MD originally, I like to start with Perdue Oven Stuffer Roasters, they're a bit more expensive but soooo good, though I may be a bit prejudiced in favor of good ol' Eastern Shore chicken.

what's this I hear...

...you're off to Paris? You Grosse Pointe aristocratic Detroiters certainly seem to know how to live...and cook. Those birds look delicious. I like cooking whole chickens because they're easy and they're very inexpensive here. You can usually get a fresh California-grown Foster Farms Fryer for 79 cents a pound or less. And whole chickens don't take a lot of watching, no medium-rare stuff to worry about. You can use Crystal Allen's (Joan Crawford) cooking method from the 1939 movie "The Women" when she defended her lack of culinary skills by saying "look, if ya throw a lamb chop into a hot oven what's gonna keep it from gettin done?" Keep up the videos, they're educational, entertaining and just plain fun.

like Peggy Bundy, Crystal probably refered to the stove as "the big hot thing"

looks good but a little raw thigh was quite pink...

Stefan - on my oven, I use the "bake" setting while roasting - this turns on the bottom element. The top element - which is smaller - comes on when the oven is set at "broil."

Joe - while the Pointes offer the world, it is good sometimes to venture out and see the sights ;-)

I'm taking 18 undergraduate student to Paris - so it's not quite a pleasure trip cuz I'm going to have to keep an eye on these youngin's, but I'm grateful for the opportunity to tag along. Me and the other two faculty look forward to a little "free time" while we are there to explore and have some fun of our own.

I envy your inexpensive, fresh chickens. Ours cost a little more here, but are still a good value. Mommie Dearest was right about cookin' - I love that line!!!

Kevin, I hope you have time to listen to the organs at Notre Dame and St. Sulpice in Paris. Wow, what an experience. Have a great time. Gary

Notre Dame Organ

WAY off subject, I know..... but there is (was?) a FREE recital on the Notre Dame organ every Sunday afternoon.... Well worth arranging to 'be there' at the time... There is usually a long queue outside the church, but these are people waiting for the 'guided tour'.... Just walk right in and find a seat...

Enjoy.....
