What is the best way to cook a whole chicken and what ingredients should I use?
Answers:
wash the chicken inside and out in lukewarm water and pat it dry .....onto the skin put a little oil or butter or a combination of both, then sprinkle on some thyme leaves which you have crushed in your palm....
inside the cavity (empty of extras and take out the lumps of fat on either side of the opening .... ) put a bay leaf, three or four garlic cloves and some thyme ...either fresh sprigs or a large pinch of dry leaves which you crush ...
roast it ....
delicious served cold, taken on a picnic with green salad, potato salad, sliced tomatoes, cucumber salad, crusty peasant bread ....some wine ... and have cheese, fruit, nuts for dessert and a pound cake ...
