Cold crappy rainy and soon to be ice then snow night. So I'm doing the Friday night I get to cook dinner.
You guys are all way over my head but here is something we learned on a trip to Italy a few years ago that I'll do tonight in the oven (cause Im too big a pussy to run the big grill out inn the rain and cold).
Start with a whole chicken, cut out backbone, and cut into quarters.
1/2 cup of olive oil, a 1/4 cup of fresh chopped rosemary, 4 cloves garlic crushed and fine chopped, red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp thyme(dry), and 1 tablespoon of oregano, juice of two lemons and lemon zest from one.....mix that all up and pour into a baking dish Salt and pepper the bird and put in the pan, rub all over the chicken, put plastic wrap over and let sit for two hours
Now I love a cast iron dish to do this in but glass is fine. Ill do in a cast iron pan....
Preheat oven to 425. Put chicken in pan use as much of the olive oil/marinade as u like, I use it all
Roast at 425 20 minutes. Turn chicken and reduce heat to 375 for 1 hour or till tests done with thermometer.
We will serve it tonight with a lemon risotto with mushrooms and some cooked garlic and almond spinach as a side...
No idea whats up for game day. but will do something damn simple.
