in 50 minutes I will.

When you guys roast a chicken, do you turn it? The breasts have a beautiful golden color, but the backside is still completely pale so I turned it back up and am giving it another 5 minutes.

This oven is a piece of shit and never seems to be as hot as I need it.

>do you turn it?
no, i spatchcock/buttferfly every bird i cook

I've avoided that in the past just because I like the absolute minimum amount of work of just taking the chicken out of the pack. Patting it dry. Quick drizzle of oil and rubbing any salt and seasoning and then putting it into the oven. I may give it a try on my next bird though. This oven is a piece of shit and takes like half an hour to finish preheating.

How is it, anon?

>>13573603
i was the same way until i tried it. the extra 3 minutes of prep is worth it. if you have the right tools, it makes it very easy. i have roasters at my local store on sale often for 99c/lb so the purchase was worth it.

Resting. I had a bunch of vegetables in the bottom of the pan which don't look all that roasted, so I put the chicken in a separate tray to rest for 10 min while I return the vegetables to the oven.
Usually, I'll just do the chicken by itself. Heat up the pan on the stove for a bit before putting the chicken in. Thyme and lemon in the cavity. Roast at 450 for 50 min and then take the chicken out to rest for 10 min while I cook some fresh thyme leaves in the pan. Squeeze out the lemon to dissolve all the bits in the pan and whisk in a knob of butter and serve over the chicken.

Man the camera on my phone is a piece of shit.

Arigato chicken-san
Vegetables are great but the plate was too cold and it all cooled down really quickly. I used two bulbs of fennel, but they needed to be cooked a bit longer I guess and I may use a bit more fennel and carrots next time.

I made orzo in chicken broth instead of water and it tastes so good. It was more of a orzo and chicken broth soup. Very tasty.

Pizza was good.

Got xanned out of my mind but didn’t drink or smoke any weed so I managed to make spaghetti

Turned out fire

meatballs are beef and pork and onions and shit. Sautéed the mushrooms in the drippins left after searing the ‘balls before baking those

ghetti is perfect al dente, balls are flames, sauce is out of a can but it’s good shit like $9 for the can so that’s flames too

wish I could smoke some weed

>>13573552
Yea. I start breast down then flip, and baste.

Do people eat the vegetables in the bottom of the pan? Ive never seen anyone eat them.

>>13575219
They soak up all the juices. They don't cook too well if the pan is crowded though.

>>13574541
thanks bro.

>>13574716
Who sells a $9 can of spaghetti sauce?

>>13576740
Rao's or some small hipster start up that also does sauerkraut.

>>13576740
Idk I just got the most expensive shit they had at the Kroger which was like 7.99 which is pretty much $9 after tax

>>13576740
