Our first episode is now live for you to view. In this MadZak has created a delicious, and we really cannot stress that word enough, oven roasted chicken. This is the perfect item to cook on a sunday and use for lunch/dinner the rest of the week. Also don’t forgot to save those chicken bones and you have the beginnings of a nice chicken broth for soup! Enjoy the recipe and stay tuned, next episode we add some friends to the chicken to make a nice full meal.
[print_link] INGREDIENTS:
- 4 pounds whole chicken, no giblets
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons pepper
- 1 tablespoon thyme
- 2 tablespoons flour
EQUIPMENT:
- Balloon whisk
- Cooking Twine
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Square Cake Pan
PREPARATION TIMES:
- Active: 45 Minutes
- Bake: 50 Minutes
- Cool: 10 Minutes
METHOD:
Be sure to remove all the giblets (insides) of the chicken. I recommend saving everything but the liver for some stock with the bones. Wash the bird inside and outside, then dry with a towel or paper towel. You want the skin to be very dry for the roasting. Now you can either truss the chicken or leave it as it is.
Sprinkle salt and pepper all over the chicken and be sure to rub it evenly across the skin. Don’t forget to add inside the cavity as well! Place the chicken in a roasting type pan and preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In about 10 minutes the oven should be ready, place the chicken on the center rack and cook for 50 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the oven and tip it to allow all the juices to run into the pan. Move the chicken aside to cool before cutting. Transfer the juices in the pan to a bowl. Stir the juices and slowly add the flour until it reaches the consistency you prefer. You can use more flour than what I suggested if needed.
