Super easy roasted chicken
20 Nov
I’ve never had to make a turkey before, so I thought I’d act like a real grown up and roast a turkey for the very first time.
My brilliant plan – to roast a turkey for a potluck I was hosting last weekend.
Reality:
1. Look up every possible turkey recipe. Figure out what to do, what to avoid, what I need to purchase.
2. Talk about it to anyone and everyone who would listen. Listen closely for tips.
3. Thursday rolls around and upon realizing that I didn’t have time/room/bucket big enough to brine/(insert excuse here), I chickened out.
So that’s why this post is about chicken, and not turkey. Sorry about that, folks.
If you want a really yummy chicken, it’s important to buy a good, quality chicken. Free range or organic would be a great investment. I ended up with a freshly killed chicken, which tasted amazing, but with a couple of unexpected, well, surprises. Read below to find out.
