A Naughty Way to Roast a Chicken (Looks intriguing)

What a great idea. DH does beer can chicken on BBQ. I have an old very heavy bundt pan and am

going to do this soon. Thanks.

 
It seems like a good idea but it doesn't look like the bottom half got

brown and crispy though. Or maybe not as crispy as I like it?

 
I've t ried so many of those gadgets and it really is just that, a gadget

results were less than stellar. It was lots of fun to play with, however I've found that I really like taking a whole chicken, patting the skin dry and placing on a plate, putting into the refer, uncovered for two days to let the skin dry out. Then use butter or evoo, herbs, salt and pepper to coat the skin all over. Inside the bird, put sprigs of fresh herbs, lemon etc. Then roast. This is the best whole roasted chicken I have made yet. The drying process produces such a great color. Here is a link to my recipe for the chicken that turns out so well.

Oh my gosh. My son asks me what is for dinner at 4 and I always reply, I don't know.

I need to start meal planning.

 
All

of Sur la Table that I signed up for when I ventured into the store in Sarasota that was very close to where I used to work.

In the catalog, I found this nifty dual-purpose vertical roaster/wok gizmo that looks very practical for BBQ'ing. The cone is detachable to use as a wok. I want to buy this one day.

Lately I've been spatchcocking the chicken before roasting and have been pleased with the results.

 
Dawn, I remember my Mom throwing bacon grease in the iron skillet

with onions and garlic right about 5:30 -- when my Dad walked in the door he thought she had been cooking all day!!

 
I use that "can" roaster as a vertical roaster. works well even without any beer/beverage. just

holds the bird nice and vertical in a pan.

 
Thanks for telling me Ang. I didn't even think of using it in an oven. I imagine

that potatoes and sliced onions would get a lot of pan drippings directly underneath.

I so have to get one!

 
I have a vertical chicken roaster. Mine works really great.

The phallic part lifts off and is inserted into the chicken. The bottom part of roasting pan has a center cup that the the insert fits over. I usually put a little lemon juice and chicken stock or broth in there. I put more chicken broth in the outer ring. along with some halved or quartered (depends on the size) red or Yukon Gold potatoes. The chicken is prepared the same as I would for roasting on a regular rack.
