The Perfect Roast Chicken

QueenDanceALot — Fri, 28 Feb 2014 17:04:56 GMT

Got the chicken at Trader Joes, free range, organic.

The recipe is from Ina Garten, easily found by googling.

Easy Peasy and DELISH!

Just had some leftovers for breakfast.

I heard they had good chicken but I've never tried it.

It really was good. Totally worth the extra money.

I always appreciate a recommendation, thanks Kitty. I'm a Trader Joe's regular customer, but oddly, I've never tried their organic, free range chicken. I'll make it a point to pick some up next trip. I'll also check out Ina's recipe.

Sounds delicious. Thanks for the heads up. .....Hey kitty.....did you change your nic slightly? I know it's your same account and everything.....but for some reason I thought there was a 2 or a two in there.....not a too.

I know....I can't really remember the last time I cooked a roast chicken! Our local supermarket has the rotisserie ones on sale for 5 bucks every Friday. I don't think you can cook one that cheaply! And they are really delicious! I did look up Ina's recipe though....and it does look good!

For some reason, though.....I really, really hate cleaning up after cooking a roast chicken. something about all that congealed chicken fat I think.

I bake my own chicken, I prefer how mine tastes...though Costco's baked chickens are pretty darn good.

My go-to roast chicken recipe is Martha Stewart's Roast Chicken 101. It smells great cooking and comes out all crispy. Of course anything that you smear butter all over before roasting would be crispy

Ina's roast chicken isn't short on butter.

I never roast a whole chicken myself, but this week I bought a jumbo herbed rotisserie chicken at a local Kroger affiliate. From that I made a Greek lemon pasta dish, a chicken Waldorf salad, and chicken vegetable soup. I was also able to sneak a few pieces of the chicken while I was taking it off the bones. Yum. All of the dishes I made had so much flavor, and I left out a whole step in the cooking process.

Okay. Thanks for answering me, kitty! I probably just "assumed" it was 2 or two....and you know what they say about people who assume!

I still buy the roasted chicken from the Hen House deli once a week. It is the best! At least I eat good twice a week. Now I have to figure out the other 5 days.

I cook almost every day, actually.

But I eat very plain for the mostpart. This chicken was way more work than I usually do even though it was super easy.

Periodically a co-worker and I go to youtube and look at the Odd Couple segment in the courtroom.

Hilarious.
