Well, only so far! So this is what I started yesterday, and we had the first meal from it tonight. As a local store has chickens on at a reasonable price, I decided to get one of the two we had in the freezer, to make room for new ones! So, brined it from yesterday AM until this afternoon, rinsed it and put it in the fridge to firm up the skin. Then late this afternoon, got a lemon, and onion, whole head of garlic, butter & olive oil, and went to work. Stripped the skin from the lemon and place it under the skin of the chicken....sorta fair exchange kinda thing! Rest of the lemon got cut in half and into the body cavity, along with the onion cut in half as well. Chopped the whole head of garlic in half through the middle and placed those halves beside the chicken. Marie sewed up the cavity, and into a very hot oven it went at 450F for about 20 minutes, and then I cut the heat to 375F and left it for about an hour. I had previously spread butter and olive oil all over the skin, and when I cut the heat down, I peppered the bird with freshly ground black pepper. No salt, it is not required if you brine. It came out absolutely perfect, looked pretty and it tasted wonderful! The garlic we squeezed out of the skins, and ate along with the chicken. I also did boiled onions, baked potato and broccoli and Marie did her famous stuffing (which really is haggis, made with oats & bread) A scrumptious meal! Cheers, Doug in BC where it is pouring rain! After all, it is November Contributed to the FareShare Gazette by Doug; 5 November 2006. www.fareshare.net - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
