What are you having for dinner tonight?
This will be fun. Post what you're having for dinner tonight, linking to a recipe if you have one and feel like it.
The Parade family is having:
Roast chicken. I don't have a recipe, but I:
o Take it out of the fridge a couple of hours before putting it in the oven. That way it isn't cold inside, and has of a temperature difference before it's cooked.
o Rinse + pat dry the chicken. Really dry. It's supposed to roast, not steam.
o Cut a few slits in the skin, and put minced garlic, rosemary, pepper, and about 1 kosher tsp salt under the skin wherever I can reach.
o Sprinkle another tsp of salt on the skin, and some pepper.
o Truss the bird.
o Let the oven heat to 450, with my big cast iron skillet inside.
o Put the bird in (I put it on a wire ring inside the aforementioned skillet)
o Check on it in about 45 minutes.
Usually takes about 45 minutes or so to cook, and results in crisp skin, and yummy birdey goodness.
We're also having these, which I've never made before but sound ~*really*~ good:

And probably mashed potatoes. Mmmm..taters.
What about you?
