roast chicken

Share recipes here.

trying convection tonight because i want the crispiest skin. To make it really crispy, i dried and heavily salted the bird and let it sit in the fridge for five hours. I would have rubbed with baking powder as well but it's not on my diet. So its going ing the oven now on a rack on top of a giant baking sheet i got for cheap at gordon food service. Apparently this will allow nice heat circulation around the bird. I put some garlic cloves carrot and rosemary that were chopped and mixed with olive oil underneath the bird for aromatics and hope the fat from the bird keeps them from burning. Anyways, trying something new and i will update. Roast chicken is simple and must perfect it in my kitchen.

Anyone try the infrared burner on their grill with the spit for rotisserie chicken? Did it work? Did it burn?

How did it turn out?

 

[-Cago34-]

I did a whole chicken on the grill this past weekend. Turned out really good. But it wasn't whole, so don't know if that matters? But anyways, I butterflied the whole chicken so that it laid flat. All you have to do is cut down the backbone on both sides, and remove it. Then I kinda filleted out the rib bones, and took out the keel bone(I believe that's what its called, not sure tho).

In a pot, I simmered a bunch of shit together; finely diced tomato, a lot of chopped garlic, a lot of cilantro, olive oil, cumin, lemon and lime juice, and the zest from both, cracked black pepper, a couple fresh jalapeno's, onion powder, little bit of curry, I dunno, just a bunch of shit. Let it simmer until the tomato's and cilantro broke down, then lathered that shiznit all over the bird, and under the skin. Let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours, then grilled it. The beauty of butterflying a whole chicken is that you can get your marinade into the meat a lot more, plus, it cooks in like 45 minutes, instead of an hour and a half, or whatever.

It turned out PERFECT. I had to leave it in for another 10 minutes but it was absolutely wonderful. I the drippings were whisked together with some Riesling and a little Dijon for a nice pan sauce just in case the breast meat was a little dry, which it wasn't.

BTW, I got a lot of my tips from Chow.com, picking here and there from different recipes. It's how I do most of my research and that's a good site for home cooks.

that's a great way to grill a bird. Have you ever tried putting a pan over top and piling bricks on that? It cooks even faster and stays juicy.

Yea, they are actually the only thing in a grocery now a days that is pretty cheap. You are spending about the same money if you did it yourself.

I eat a couple of those a week. One whole chicken usually covers about 2 lunches for me.
