Day 8: Roasted Chicken

OK. Many of my friends talk about making chicken this or that, but still my favorite way is to roast a whole chicken. I melt about 2 T of butter and mix with 2T olive oil. Add seasonings (this time salt, pepper, garlic and sage). The trick is to rub some of the mixture in the layer between the skin and the meat. Put in pan and cook appox 20 min per pound plus about 15 min. I also put a lemon in the carcass to add a little something extra. If you like to eat the skin, roast without a top for about 3/4 of the time. If you want to take the skin off, cook covered the entire time.

We are side dish lazy most of the time. I did fresh broccoli and salad and some left over sweet potato and regular potato fries.
