Chicken is the cheapest priced meat at the moment, here, it was .90 a pound for whole chicken and it was Foster Farms. It is the best quality including the quality of the butchers in the area. It always makes sense to buy locally grown chicken. Perdue is a good brand in the south. Never buy a whole chicken that is less than three pounds. At three pounds, you are at the break even point —half your meal bill is laying for bone and 1/2 is paying for meat. That’s why if you are buying that 6.99 two pound chicken from the deli,you are actually paying 6.99 a pound for cooked chicken.
I bought a 5.5 plus pound chicken yesterday. It is my intention to take you along as I see how many meals I can get out of a 5.89 chicken.
First
Open bag of chicken and drain off any liquid there may be into a colander placed in the sink.
Place chicken in a roasting pan with a rack.
Place anything you have short of the kids dirty Sox in the cavity..an onion, an apple., a orange, a lemon,
Wash your hands .
Pour some olive oil over the chicken and pour a little more into a cup. Rub the chicken down with the olive oil on both sides.
Place the cup in the colander and wash your hands .
Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper,
Bake in a 450 degree oven for 10 minutes
Reduce heat to 350 and cook an additional 20 minutes per pound.
Chicken should have juices run clear, be at 180 degrees and the keg should easily pull from the body of the chicken .
