Halp Me Cook A Chicken

[Callisto]

So I have this whole chicken I need to cook, was going to do it in the oven, but I want to throw some shit on that shit, but I don't know what shit to put on that shit, or how long to put it in the oven for, or if I cover it or what, so:

how I shot chicken

I'd give advice, but I'm sure by the time I press submit you'll have replies from like all 14 of the black users of spam, so just do what they say.

[archibaldcrane]

Well that was disappointing.

[Callisto]

my fryer's too small for it or I'd do that

[Callisto]

and I don't have stuff for orange chicken

[quannum]

for a first time, i'd stay basic:

salt, pepper, garlic, and butter under the skin. throw some fresh herbs in there if you have any

put it in your rack/tray/we thing upside down for 3/4 of the time, then flip it over to brown the breast skin.

When I cook a chicken I just put it on its back and I have this awesome lemon pepper herb seasoning that I use and I just rub it all over the chicken and bake it for 2 hours. Gotta make sure its thawed out all the way first tho derp.

[Callisto]

guessing 350ish on the oven? and should I put any broth or anything in the pan?

[quannum]

i do a rough chop of carrot, onion and celery usually as a bedding and so it doesn't boil in its juices. i do 300 then turn it up to 350 when i flip it, i also use a thermometer because cook times vary on weight/oven/altitude

put some broth in the pan (half an inch or less) and for christ's sake cover the fucking thing until you want to brown it at the end

[Colenzo]

ya DONT FORGET TO COVER IT or else it will dry out and be worthless

[Ksandra]

only thing to add I've found the more butter you put on it the juicer/tastier it is, and baste it often. oh and you can grate a lemon peel onto it to give it a nice touch. (I tend to use rosemary, thyme, and basil for the herbs)

[quannum]

salt, pepper, garlic, and butter under the skin. throw some fresh herbs in there if you have any

don't know if it's obvious or not, but do this all over the outside too.

[Callisto]

storms killed my little herb thanger on the balcony recently, I had a stock of fresh rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, sage, and chives out there

fuck rachel ray and bobby flay

cooking bg spam style is where its at, all this sounded delicious

[Callisto]

I still am going to write a cookbook

[_chuchu]

deep fry is the only way.

[Callisto]

I wanted to do it a few years back since my cooking is typically how I landed girls, was going to be a cookbook for bachelors called "Dishes To Get Bishes"

[Callisto]

SHIT

I just realized I used the last of our carrots and celery the other night for pot roast


going to do the chicken tomorrow
