My grocery had half chickens $4 off so I picked one up not knowing what to do with it. I did a version of the Zuni one. Cooked at 450 and pretty much cut each of the ‘flippin’’ times in half. Added about five extra minutes at the end. Worked great.
I had no idea a roast chicken recipe could be so life changing but here I am.
Source product from Gelsons, < 3 pounds.
You’ve just made my salivary glands do a little dance We have local farmers and ranchers so I need to go in search of the small ones. Thanks for reporting and especially for the photo!
At Gelsons they have a “jidori” brand. All the chickens I saw from this brand were around the 3 pound Mark. $5/lb
Maybe we should do a road trip to SoCal and load up on chickens
yes i think a lot of people use a high heat option
So we roast a lot of chicken and I think i’m going to do what i finally tried this week… consistently i dont get what i want out of thighs as i want them rendered a lot more… so i roasted just the quarters low and slow for once and you know what… i didn’t miss the breast which is usually my favorite… this was really nice.
hope the pizza gods forgive my application of the sicilian pan… please dont be dead.
