Official TD Entry Roast Chicken
I was planning on entering this into the Go-To Meal TD but had some laptop problems this weekend and couldn't get it loaded. So instead I'll be leveling the chicken cannon at the SS Farkanaut and blasting another hole in their defenses.
I don't think there is a meal that I enjoy more than a good roasted chicken so I made my traditional preparation along with a couple of sides.
Started by stuffing some lemon, onion, garlic, rosemary & thyme into the cavity of the bird.
I then tied up the legs and rubbed the bird down with softened butter, Lawry's and pepper.
Onto the grill over the highest heat I can get running indirect
Bought a pressure cooker this weekend so I decided to do some baked beans. Cooked the beans in the pressure cooker then added chopped onion, garlic, hatch chiles, bacon and homemade tasso ham along with the bean liquor, molasses, mustard, soy, wooster & brown sugar. They went onto the Traeger and ran at about 250 for 2-3 hours.
After about 1-hour the chicken came off, the butter and high heat make for incredibly crispy skin.
After a 15 minute rest it was time to carve
Plated up the chicken with the beans and some sauteed swiss chard.
Not sure which shot to use as the voting pic. What say you Noobians?
