Succulent Seasoned Chicken Food

SUCCULENT ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Combine the lemon zest, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic in a small bowl; stir in the olive oil, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Separate the skin around the breast and thighs from the meat. Rub the herb mixture onto the meat, underneath the skin. Cut the zested lemon in half, and place half of the lemon into the cavity of the chicken along with the whole garlic cloves. Place the chicken into a roasting pan, and squeeze the remaining lemon half evenly over the skin of the chicken.
• Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour, 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

SIMPLE & SUCCULENT CANNED WHOLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Remove any giblets which may be in chicken and scrub well.
• Wash one, one or two-quart canning jar (depending on the size of the chicken).
• Add 1 tsp salt to jar.
• Pack raw, skin-on chicken into the jar. If it won't fit you may have to cut it up a bit. Leave 1/2 to 1 inch head space.
• Put jar lids in hottest tap water.
• Clean the lip of the jar carefully to ensure a good seal and place lids and screw-tops on jar; finger tighten.
• Place in pressure canner filled with enough water (not hot) to come 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up the jars.
• Process for 90 minutes after pressure has reached 15 lbs.
• Please note that it is not necessary to add any water to the jars- the chicken will make a delicious broth which will be gelled unless it is heated. Do not de-bone chicken as the bones are neccessary to make a good broth.
• * I often do chicken pieces in pint jars as I live alone. In which case I only add 1/2 tsp salt and reduce the processing to 75 minutes at 15 lbs pressure.
