LAURIE COLWIN'S ROAST CHICKEN
Here is a straightforward roast chicken recipe from the writer Laurie Colwin, who swore by simplicity - in the kitchen and in life. Not many people will take the time to stuff and truss a chicken, and Ms. Colwin famously abandoned the practice when she found her child making spider webs with her expensive trussing string. Try the trussing and stuffing sometime, though. A little time, simply spent, rewards with tender meat and a savory stuffing, an easy feast for a night at home.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Combine bread and mushrooms in a bowl and toss with broth. Season to taste. Stuff chicken and secure with poultry pin or toothpick. Place in roasting pan and sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. Baste with olive oil. (If desired, surround it with carrots, potatoes, onions, garlic and a red pepper.)
- Roast for about 2 hours, basting frequently with melted butter and pan juices. The chicken is done when the leg bone wiggles and the skin is the color of teak.
LAURIE COLWIN'S BAKED MUSTARD CHICKEN
This old-school chicken, Sunday-night-supper chicken, even dinner party chicken, is baked for about two hours (yes, you read that correctly: two hours) until its bread crumb-coated skin is crisp - yet the meat miraculously maintains its moisture. The recipe, adapted from the great food writer Laurie Colwin, is so simple to make that her original version was written out in a brief paragraph, casually instructing the home cook to coat the chicken with mustard, garlic, a little thyme, a pinch of cinnamon. We have adapted the recipe to include measurements and more specific direction, but that shouldn't stop you from absorbing her nonchalance and confidence as you make it, the certainty that it will turn out delicious every time.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine mustard, garlic, thyme, cinnamon, a pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Place bread crumbs in another large bowl.
- Working in batches, coat chicken quarters on all sides with mustard mixture. Shake off excess mustard, then coat completely with bread crumbs. Arrange in a single layer in a large, shallow baking pan.
- Dust the chicken with paprika and scatter butter pieces on top. Bake until crust is deep golden brown and crispy, about 2 hours. (Depending on the oven, the size of the pan and the size of the chickens, baking time may be as long as 2 1/2 hours.) Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Chicken pieces should be roughly the same size - this means that you should cut breasts into quarters. If you don't quarter the breast, you'll end up with large underdone pieces.
- The chicken should be put in a dish and covered with a little water or milk, which will help keep the flour on (I use water). Let the chicken stand at room temperature - it is a bad idea to put cold chicken into hot oil!
- Put the flour in a deep, wide bowl and season with salt, pepper, and optional smoked paprika and cayenne. Laurie recommends paprika because she adores paprika and feels it gives the chicken a smoky taste and beautiful color. You really must try the smoked paprika, you won't want to make this chicken any other way.
- Mix the chickpea flour, quinoa flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne in a bowl. Mix well and then sift together to make sure everything is completely distributed.
- Now, coat the chicken with the flour. To do this, lay a few pieces of chicken in the bowl and "pack the flour on a if you were a child making sand pies. Any excess flour should be packed between the layers. It's important to make sure that every inch of chicken has a nice thick cover.".
- Let the chicken sit while you work with the frying oil. Laurie says that many folks recommend frying chicken in Crisco, but she prefers Wesson oil with about one-quarter part light sesame oil mixed in, which gives the chicken "a wonderful taste and is worth the extra expense." I just use peanut oil.
- The oil should come up to just under the halfway mark on your chicken fryer - say, about 1 to 1-1/2 inches deep. Over a medium flame, heat the oil to 360°F (182°C) (or until a piece of bread on a skewer fries as soon as you dip it on).
- Carefully slip into the oil as many pieces as will fit in the pan. Laurie says that the rule is to crowd the pan a bit. Turn the heat down to medium-low and cover the pan. She says, "the idea of covering frying chicken makes many people squeal, but it is the only correct method. It gets the chicken cooked through." Ed. note: don't mess with your chicken while it's cooking. Poking and prodding will knock off your coating... so just let it alone!
- The chicken must be just done to that it is crispy but still juicy. She recommends about six minutes per side, turning only once. Dark meat will take a little longer, and use a sharp form to test the chicken to see if it's done - when the chicken just slips off the fork, it is done inside.
- Take off the lid and turn up the heat to medium-high. Fry the chicken until it is "the color of Colonial pine stain - a dark honey color.".
- Remove the chicken from the oil and set it on a platter, then put the platter in the oven. If your oven has a gas pilot light, that should be enough heat. If you have an electric oven, flip it on ahead of time to the lowest setting and turn it off after two minutes. Let the chicken sit until it has cooled to a warm temperature. She doesn't specify how long, though I let mine sit for at least half an hour.
- At this point, she says "You have now made the perfect fried chicken," and that every time you make this recipe it will get even better.

LAURIE COLWIN'S BREAD
In her "Home Cooking", Laurie quotes "English Bread and Yeast Cookery" by Elizabeth David. It says "It's really a question of arranging matters so that the dough suits your time table rather than the other way around. The preparation time indicates actual hands on. Raising is not included.

Steps:
- In a large bread bowl mix the flours, salt, and germ.
- Mix the yeast with the liquids. You may use more water than milk to equal 1 1/2 cups, if desired.
- Pour the liquid into the flour and stir. The dough should not be dry or sticky, but tend to sticky. If too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Knead the dough well, roll in flour, and put in a warm bow. Leave in a cool, draft-free place and go about your day.
- When you get home, punch down the dough and knead it well. Roll again in flour and forget it until convenient.
- Sometime later, punch dough down again. Give it a final kneading. Shape into a baguette, slash the top with four diagonal cuts, brush with water and let proof for a few minutes, if you have the time.
- Bake at 450 for 30 minutes. Turn the oven to 425 and bake another 20 minutes.
