mash up the butter mixture in your hands and then stuff some globs under the skin

Looks like it's gonna turn out to be a great meal.

squish the butter all around under the skin

[Anonymous No.15255030]

>>15255026
then you take the other half of the stick of butter and squish it all up in your hands and then rub it all over the chicken and cover with the salt pepper cayenne mix

next I stuffed the thyme and lemon wedges in the chicken, poorly trussed it and then threw it in the roasting pan with the onion, carrot, potatoes, and extra chopped garlic

here it is after 20 minutes in the oven at 350F. I took it out and rotated it and then back in

another 20 minutes and I turned it again

[Anonymous No.15255306]

Anon, I'm glad you are doing this. I would never go through the hassle of roasting a chicken when they have good costco chickens for a few bucks.

and then after that 20 minutes I turned it again and I'm throwing it back in the oven for 40 minutes with some mac and cheese I threw together with random stuff I had. mac and cheese is

1/8 cup of butter and flour
half a can of evaporated milk
ground clove, onion powder, paprika
quarter pound of cheese
2 cups macaroni

I had all of the ingredients laying around except for the bird. It's crazy how cheap rotisserie chickens are but at least I'm going to get a veggie side with mine and I already cut the wishbone out so it will be easier to take apart. Whole young chicken only cost $4 at walmart and I had the other ingredients in my pantry already. I think this meal might be $8 total. The evaporated milk was leftover from making fudge the other day so I made the mac and cheese with it otherwise I would have used cream.

I made one the other night.

how do you make gravy with the drippings?

[Anonymous No.15255859]

>>15255820
It was good. OPs looks like it'll be great too

Make a rue out of it by cooking it with about a tablespoon of flour, then mix some broth in it, or something like that. It's been a while.

[Anonymous No.15255917]

the mac and cheese came out early

here's the chicken out of the oven

here it is poorly plated

>>15255830
you would pour them off into a pan and then thicken with roux. I didn't bother with this tonight because the roast took forever to cook. I also should have stirred the veggies at some point when I was taking it out because they were uneven. if you were using drippings from read meat you would basically be making an espagnole, for chicken you would make velouté. they are two of the five mother sauces. it's an easy cheat. pan drippings + roux is one of the two depending on the type of meat. with a roasting pan like mine, I've seen people throw the roasting pan on a burner to finish the sauce. that way you only need an extra pan for the roux.
