The neglected chicken
Chicken second courses
I love the flavour of a high-quality bird, so I don’t mess too much with it - just butter, lemon, a few herbs, and a fierce amount of salt. I do, however, commit skin heresy: I find there’s enough crisp deliciousness on the back & legs without worrying about the breast, so I cook it upside-down to get the silkiest breast meat. And the period of neglect was a happy accident. I was prepping a chicken, out-of-town friends called up, I went out, and roasted it the next day. I've since read about the technique in other places, among them Cooking for Mr. Latte.
