thinking of trying something different w/ my roasted chicken
stuffing a chicken is always good, but lately I've taken to putting a halved lemon and half an orange w/ some rosemary inside of it. It makes for amazing soup stock when all is said & done.

I was thinking of trying a halved lime this time, and maybe some spicy peppers (just a few). I'm thinking this might make great stock to make homemade pho.

Has anyone ever tried roasting a chicken with hot peppers inside of it?

3. You know, I thought of that,
but I have none to spare. There's only about 1 shot in the bottle, and no funds to buy more (I like expensive tequila). I'm saving the shot for an emergency.

12. Patron

I do like Cabo Wabo too, but there really isn't any difference in price between the two.

4. that sounds good. The one i do a lot is apples, sage and onion.
i quarter the apple and onion and then use about 5 sage leaves, i love sage and it permeates all the meat.

7. herbs, butter, and lemon slices under the skin
Slip a few slices of lemon, some fresh herbs, and a pat of butter under the skin on each side. Then squeeze a lemon over the chicken and salt LIBERALLY. The salt will form a crusty skin that seals in the juices. Roast in a hotter than usual oven. Deeeelicious.

9. popcorn stuffing is great...
and you'll know it's done when it blows the arse off the chicken! :evilgrin:

Ahem...seriously, olive oil, garlic, lemon, rosemary is the best!

I make a marinade with the oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt & pepper. I gently separate the skin from the breast and pour the marinade under and over the skin then stuff the lemon rinds and a bunch of rosemary inside the bird.

Bon Appetite!!!

13. roasting a chicken really doesn't take any work at all
about 2 minutes of prep, and into the oven it goes.

15. wow
I don't mind a little work, especially when the return is high. A tasty roasted chicken and kick-ass soup stock later in the week? That's a pretty high return.

16. try this one
take half an onion and half an apple, a cinnamon stick, and 2 cloves. microwave with a cup of water on high for about 3-4 minutes, until its steaming hot.
stuff inside chicken (carefully!). not only does it make it taste good, the hot veggies jump start the cooking, and make your chicken cook faster.

18. If you're going to make pho with it, consider some spices or thai basil as well.

It sounds delish.

19. mmmm that sounds great
but I haven't tried it.

I recently stuffed basil leaves under the skin of chicken before roasting it and that turned out really well.
