Roasting birds!


So, tonight was my first time trying to roast any sort of bird. In this case, it was a lovely chicken from somewhere, I forgot at what store I bought it. (Doesn't language without a sentence ending in a preposition sound so...stodgy?) Anyway, I think the roasting worked well. NOTE and DISCLAIMER: The chicken to the right (if your configuration and computer are not foolish and allow you to view this post EXACTLY as I am, is certainly not mine, nor is the photograph that I purloi...ahem, borrowed from the intra-webness).

I used a simple recipe from Epicurious that I, of course, did not follow to the letter at all. What fun is that? My only changes were, um, I probably cooked it about 5-10 minutes too little. BUT, the chicken was hot, cooked, tasty, and extremely juicy (the only good type of roasted chicken, by the way), but there were a few places that looked slightly undercooked. As is his nature, yours truly ate it all! Third person is better when referring to eating slightly undercooked poultry, in case you were not well-versed in the ways of pinko-commie chickens.

Love to all, roast birds, and don't worry so much about getting germs.
