The warm weather has inspired me to uncover my grill and begin cooking outdoors. Unfortunately, this being the first day I’ve tested my grill (which was a little temperamental all last summer), I’ve discovered that it isn’t working properly. The chickens … Continue reading
Butterflied Roast Chicken
Since it’s Sunday and I thought about it early enough in the day, I’m brining this chicken. It’s not absolutely necessary, but it adds immeasurable flavor and moisture. This technique is one that I saw on the PBS series “America’s Test Kitchen,” and … Continue reading
