roast of the chicken

my first weekday experiment with thomas keller and ad hoc. decided to make whole roasted chicken on a bed of root vegetables for jessi (and g got the leftovers). thanks for joining and being a guinea pig, jess!

bed of veggies including: red potatoes, carrots, rutabagas, turnips, brussel sprouts, leeks and onions + garlic and thyme (i self added the brussels because i’m obsessed)

seasoned the cavity of the chicken with thyme, garlic, salt and pepper – really massaged it into the meat. let it sit for a little while mixing the veggies with canola oil, salt and pepper

before and after the roast

it was definitely a success. i LOVED this dish. it was so comforting and delicious and EASY. will teach anyone if they are willing. :]

here’s jessi having the after-meal sweats… jk, she just hates pictures
