Recipe: Easy Roasted Chicken

Summary: Awesome roasted chicken recipe. We cook this all the time in our house.

Ingredients

  • 1 each whole chicken
  • 2 tablespoons
  • olive oil
  • Onion powder
  • garlic powder
  • salt
  • pepper
  • citrus
  • 8 pats butter

Instructions

  1. To get this right you need a roasting pan and rack.
  2. Turn your oven on to 350 F. I prefer this cooked with a convection oven.
  3. Wash the chicken and remove the organ package. Paint the bird with olive oil. Dust the chicken with the onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper inside and out.
  4. Place the chicken on the rack breast side up. Put some water in the bottom of the pan. I usually put citrus in the cavity. I’ve used onions, lemons and even a tangelo before, another way to go would be to stuff it with herbs.
  5. Put pats of butter on top of the chicken in 6-8 places.
  6. Pop it in your preheated oven and cook till it reaches 180. 1-1.5 hours depending on your oven and what temp your chicken was when you started.
  7. Remove when done and rest it for 10-15 minutes. This chicken comes out perfect every time we’ve done it.
Tomorrow we will probably be having chicken curry with the left overs.

Crab Cakes and Lobster Tails

Posted on | April 11, 2010 | No Comments

This one is AWESOME.  We picked up two small Lobster tails from Harris-Teeter.  This is a real simple and very tasty way to prepare the Lobster.  Steaming the lobster with wine improves the sauce as the juices of the lobster will go into the wine and not be lost.  This would probably be even better with a whole lobster.

The crab cakes, the best I’ve had yet, come from a Paula Deen crab cake recipe.  I’m not a huge fan but she does know how to cook a crab cake. They are best if done with Dungeness Crab.  Get them to steam it for you ahead of time.  We topped ours this time with a Remoulade.  The recipes are below.

Recipe: Lobster in Tarragon & Wine Sauce

Ingredients

  • 2-4 Lobster tails
  • 1 cup White Wine
  • 2 T Butter
  • 1 T Tarragon – Dried
  • 1t Parsley
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Pour wine into pot. Put in steamer basket. Boil the wine. Add the lobster tails. Steam them for 5-7 minutes. Remove the lobster. Add Tarragon, Parsley and Butter to the wine in the saucepan. Reduce liquid. I cut the lobster tails into medallions and serve with the sauce on top.

Remoulade Sauce: The quick & easy way

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of Mayonaise
  • 1 tsp Dry mustard
  • 1 tsp Crushed Garlic
  • 2 tsp Sweet Pickle Relish
  • 2 tsp Capers, chopped
  • 1 Tsp Parsley, dried
  • 1 tsp Anchovy Paste

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix. Refrigerate for 2 hours if you can.

Quick Notes

It’s great to make a Remoulade from scratch but you may want to try this for a quick way without a lot of the hassle.
