Wonder if it should have been two hours and fifteen minutes? Reviews: Most Helpful. Back again - I entered a chicken cook off and used your recipe. Didnt change anything on the recipe.
I got a nice plaque and trophy, a little prize money. Best part was the honor of it all. I have tried this recipe with promise lite spread and it came out juicy as ever. The thighs, usually the slowest part of the bird to cook through, get a head start by being positioned directly on the burning hot pan. And the technique is quicker and easier than spatchcocking.
To splay the chicken, use a sharp knife to cut the skin along the thigh on each side, where the legs connect to the body. Then splay the thighs open until you feel the joint pop on each side. Spread out the thighs out so they can lie flat in a preheated skillet. Some people like the nice, compact shape of a trussed chicken, and argue that it helps keep the white meat moist. If you want to try it, the classic method is demonstrated in the video above.
Or you can get away with just tying the legs together to keep the stuffing mix from falling out. Seasoning the chicken ahead of time is a good idea, so that the flavors penetrate the flesh all the way to the bone. This is true whether you're rubbing the bird with salt, spices and aromatics — a dry brine — or using a more traditional wet brine.
Then add other flavors if you like, stuffing the cavity with aromatics like lemon or herbs or rubbing the skin with fat like oil or butter , or both. Dry brine is a combination of salt and spices or aromatics or both that you use to season a chicken. And like a wet brine, a dry brine will yield a tender, juicy result. But if you have time, up to 24 hours in the fridge is even better.
Add pepper, grated garlic, grated lemon or other citrus zest, herbs and spices to taste. That said, though we generally recommend a dry brine, there are some times when you will want to use a wet brine, which is a basic salt-and-aromatic solution in which you submerge the chicken.
For example, you can use flavorful brine to add a specific character to its flesh, as in our feta-brined chicken or a buttermilk-brined bird. For the crispiest skin, pat the chicken dry with paper towels after brining.
Then place it on a rack set over a plate or baking sheet, uncovered, and let it rest in the fridge for least 2 hours and up to 24 hours before roasting. This will allow the skin to dry out a bit. Another way to add flavor to chicken is via its cavity, stuffing it with whole sprigs of herbs, smashed and peeled garlic cloves, quartered onions, halved and squeezed-out lemon, and the like.
Do so just before roasting. The aromatics will permeate the flesh of the whole chicken while it cooks. However, some cooks say it compromises the crispness of the skin, so bear that in mind. Or, stuff the skin with compound butter , made with herbs or whatever else you'd like.
Use your fingers to gently pull the skin away from the breast, loosening it just enough to smear butter between the meat and the skin. Take care not to tear the skin. Another way to add both fat and flavor at the same time is to drizzle the bird with olive oil, or a combination of olive oil and lemon juice during the last 20 minutes of roasting. You can spike this with the likes of grated or mashed garlic, fresh ginger, red chile flakes or powder, dried oregano, thyme or mint.

Simmer for 2 mins, using a wooden spoon to stir, scraping any sticky bits from the tin. This will give you a juicy chicken that is a lot easier to carve.
For a more succulent chicken, take it out of the fridge one hour before cooking to bring it up to room temperature. This rule applies to any meat you are roasting.
