forestofglorySo last night I roasted a chicken for the 1st time. It wasn't as simple as the internet has been telling me it is but it was delicious.
I suppose I made the process less simple for myself by by adding extra steps, but really all of those steps improved the final product. Anyways I made brine Thursday morning. Thursday evening I went to put the chicken in the brine an relished I needed to defrost it 1st, so I could remove the gut. Friday afternoon I make stock with the guts and neck, and simple stuffing. Before I put the chicken in the oven I rinsed it, oiled it and stuffed it. The actual roasting process was simple. Once the meal was cooked I made gravy. I severed the chicken with the leftover stuffing and mashed sweet potatoes.
