Maybe
roasting a chicken is not the best thing to do on a hot day, but we had one
fresh chicken and zero better ideas.
At least our convection oven does the job in under an hour, the Thomas Keller way.
Once
again we minced up some fresh herbs (rosemary and winter savory, in this very
flavorful case), mashed them into a pat or two of butter, and worked it up
under the skin of the breast and thighs for extra flavor.
And if
you're running the oven anyway, you might as well throw some parsnips and
carrots into the pan to roast and soak up the juices.
It was
Kentucky Derby day, so we watched the horses run and drank Mint Juleps while
staying out of the kitchen.
In fact,
we ate our chicken breasts and roast vedge out on the patio under the fans,
enjoying what cool breezes we could grab.
