Always a favorite, roast chicken is high on my list for Sunday supper and perhaps place the rest in a soup as a good lunch dish with artisinal bread and butter and I’ve Romaine for a salad.
Tonight it’s mashed garlic potatoes and sauteed zucchini. No stuffing tonight, I just tossed in 1/2 onion after seasoning the cavity of the chicken and pre-trussing.
Someday I’ll teach you my version of “chicken bondage,” that if you prep well, you can tie easily in one minute per bird. I had to tie up eight birds a week on prep night at the restaurant where I apprenticed for four weeks and I taught them this system.
There’s something about a roast chicken that is comforting in these stressful days. Perhaps I’ll write more later, after dinner. Cheers, Dee.
Mmmmm, roast chicken. Tonight at our house it’s hot and sour soup, and catfish with black bean garlic sauce. And of course, rice. Chinese peasant food, comfort food!
