Description

“Do It Yourself” deli chicken!  Create your own seasoning and make it better than the store bought version!


Scale

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup of Colavita® olive oil
  • 1/4 of Holland House® white cooking wine
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon of mashed fresh garlic
  • 1 tablespoon of Weber’s® Kick”n Chicken seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon of McCormick® Italian herbs
  • 2 tablespoons of my dried crumbled parsley
  • 1 (5 1/2 pounds) chicken

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken dry and place in the bowl. Roll it around in the brine until evenly coated.
  2. Cover with Press’n Seal® film and allow to marinate for several hours.
  3. Turn the chicken every 30 minutes until ready to roast in a hot oven.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut a piece of foil large enough to make a “tent” for the chicken. Spray one side of the foil with Crisco® canola oil so it will not stick to the chicken.
  5. Roast at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
  6. After 15 minutes, loosely cover the chicken with the foil, lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees and roast for another 45 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil for the last 20 minutes.
  8. Total cooking time depends on the weight of the chicken.
  9. I usually add 1/2 cup of water to the pan drippings and baste regularly throughout the roasting period. Add more water, 1/2 cup at a time, as it evaporates.

Notes

This works just as well with chicken pieces.

Perfect recipe for dual phase cooking!
