Roast chicken.......

[rascal]

my wife's away for 6 days so we flagged family dinner here today, but daughter txt me and asked me over for roast chicken. I'm going. I'm taking a leg of lamb over for her. It's frozen so she can cook it whenever. Lamb is a luxury in her house so it should go down a treat. I'm looking forward to it. I hope I don't get the leg of the chicken??
Gravy is a standing joke here, we went to my brothers place one Xmas for lunch. His wife's cooking is terrible, her gravy was a pathetic 200mls for 14 people, and only slightly thicker than water. We never went back again.
But, my daughter is a very good cook, so I'm expecting a 10/10.

She just rang me and said the beers covered as well. I'll only have two, drink driving laws here are quite tough.

Roast chicken is something I've been cooking quite a bit lately. I like to eat leftovers cold, then in a pie and finally, make a stock or stew from the bones. A large roast chicken can last 2 people virtually all week!

We're sorta having "roast" chicken today. I marinated some wings and will be doing them in the rotisserie basket over charcoal and peach wood.

Peach wood I've not come across. Does it have a distinctive aroma?

I love roasted chicken. Especially when it is cooked in the Ninja Foodi!! But I've made a pretty mean roasted chicken in the oven as well!!

There was none left, and it was beautiful. I knew it would. If the kids come here I cook 2 chickens. Only down side was NO sage and onion stuffing.

I like wings, but wife won't buy them. She worries about her waist.

It is a very sweet, delicate smoke. I have found that to be true with most fruit woods.

If they are done on the grill or as I've done in the basket, there is no difference than roasting a whole bird.

Wings were marinated overnight in garlic, olive oil, rosemary, lemon juice, S&P. Done over charcoal and peach wood in the rotisserie basket. The potato salad was a new recipe with Mexican street corn and Karen will have to fill you in on it.

I think that the wings have the most fat because the are completely covered with skin. You can remove the skin from the breast, thighs & legs, but not from the wings. But the thighs have fat in the flesh.
