HERE WE GO AGAIN, LTP'ers....LAST-TO-Post Part #11...

We're having roast chicken with mashed potatoes and veggies and biscuits for dinner tonight. We're trying to go through the freezers, and I found a chicken in the basement one last night, so it's in the sink finishing out thawing.

So what do you do to your roast chickens? How do you season it and cook it?

 

[DisneyFirefly]

It really depends on what we have in the house. But normally, I'll brush it with olive oil or rub it with a couple tablespoons of margarine inside and out, then sprinkle it with garlic powder, thyme, sage, and Rosemary. It makes for a pretty tasty combination. As for how we roast them, we just put the chicken into a roaster belly up, cover it, and bake for (I think) an hour and a half. I don't remember the temp, I always have to ask my mom. We baste it every now and then so it doesn't dry out.

We normally make mashed potatoes with seasoned salt, but I've been putting garlic in them lately. I LOVE garlic

Which side is belly up? I only pay attention to the breasts and the thighs!

Cover it? Do you get crispy skin?

Saved on my email. I haven't been able to hop on my parents' computer, and the photos need a bit of rotating and stuff before I put them up. I'll get them up tomorrow. Plus, they're just cell phone pics. My camera batteries are dead, so I won't have any until Friday morning.

Wing tips pointing down is belly up

We don't, but that's okay. I don't eat the skin, which is where most of the calories are. I just eat the rest of it except the bone, obviously

So I guess that means breast side up I don't care if that's where the calories are, crispy skin = yum!

So Dana, based on your suggestion, I saved the code from my tickers and now I have my cool tickers back again now that the site is back up. I saved the code for my other tickers in case the current ones go down again. Yay!
