Salt Roasted Chicken

It was time to venture back into the realm of Chef John over at Food Wishes, so we tried his Salt Roast Chicken Recipe. It was great! The thyme butter sauce is a must have with this dish!

Ingredients (for Butter Sauce)

1 tbsp thyme leaves

1 lemon, juiced

1/3 cup chicken broth (plus all extra juices from rested chicken plate)

2 tbsp cold butter cut in 4 pieces

salt and pepper to taste

cayenne, to taste 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The directions can be found over at Food Wishes - Salt Roasted Chicken.

Here's a shot of bird right out of the oven:

Katie (who doesn't eat meat with the bones) even said the Chicken Breast I carved for her was great!

This meal is the one that keeps on giving after removing any good meat for a future soup, I threw in some water along with the chicken carcass, carrots, onions, celery and spices to make a very flavorful broth!
