DJEDJ MECHOUI (ALGERIAN POULET ROTI/ROAST CHICKEN)
This recipe comes from Farid Zari, who adapted his traditional way of spit roasting chicken to roasting it in his Los Angeles oven. He advises that the spices are a matter of personal taste--use what you like. He says the method does approximate the really crispy skin that he remembers from Algeria, but stresses that the quality of the chicken makes a huge difference, saying that at home in Algeria all the chickens were organic, free range and very fresh, and suggests that a soak in a salt water bath overnight would improve a run-of-the-mill supermarket chicken. Interestingly this cooking method follows the basic French method for roasting a bird -- and, after all, there is some cross-cultural history there.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 450°F.
- Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan and slide your fingers under the skin of the breast and thighs to loosen/separate it from the flesh.
- Mash the garlic with the salt, using a fork or a mortar and pestle.
- Work the garlic/salt paste into the butter and then work in the spices; using your fingers, spread the spiced butter into the cavities between the skin and the flesh of the chicken.
- Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the chicken; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Season the cavity with salt and pepper and place the four lemon halves and the thyme inside.
- Roast the chicken breast side down for 15 minutes.
- Turn the chicken breast side up and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
- Baste frequently, using additional water and olive oil as needed.
- If the skin begins to brown too soon, cover with foil (but remove the foil about 15 minutes before the roasting time is up).
- The chicken should be done in about 90 minutes; the skin between the breasts and the legs should become almost transparent, the legs should move easily in the socket, and any juices should be clear.
- Let rest before carving.
- Strain excess fat out of the cooking juices and squeeze in some lemon juice for a lovely flavor.
- Note: Zari suggests serving with orange salads dressed with pomegranate vinaigrette and carrot salads dressed with lemon, cumin and olive oil.

CROCKPOT ROASTED CHICKEN (POULET ROTI - A RECIPE INSPIRED BY CHE
I took chef momaphet's posted recipe for Poulet Roti (Roast Chicken) - recipe#234424, and changed it slightly so it could be cooked usiing a crockpot. This is such an easy recipe to prepare and tastes similar to a rotisserie chicken. The chicken is moist and flavorful. Feel free to change amounts or types of herbs to your liking! This would be great with mashed potatoes and gravy. If your whole chicken has a neck and giblets, you can reserve them in your refrigerator until about an hour before dinner time and make a gravy with them. Just put them in a small pot, cover with water and a little onion and carrots and a little herbs, bring to a boil and then simmer for about an hour, strain this and use for your gravy (however you normally make gravy) for extra flavor. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Put the onions in the bottom of your crockpot.
- Mix together the herbs and spices, rubbing them together with your fingers to blend.
- Gently lift the skin from either side of the breast and using your fingers, push a bit of the herb mix under each side.
- Turn the chicken over and make a small slit behind each thigh and push some of the herb mix under the thigh skin.
- Sprinkle the rest of the herb mixture over the top of the chicken and if you have any left sprinkle it inside the chicken.
- Put your chicken into the crockpot, on top of the onions, breast side up. No liquid is needed, the chicken will make it's own juices!
- Cook in the crockpot on the low setting for 4-6 hours. My crockpot cooked the chicken in about 5 hours. I'd recommend a pop-up timer in the chicken because some crock pots cook faster/slower than others.
