Roast Chicken

 

Tina’s Roast Chicken                                                                                   yield: 4-5 servings

Tina recommends serving this chicken with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.


 Ingredients:

1 chicken

½ lemon, cut into two pieces

Salt

4 tablespoons butter, softened

Freshly ground black pepper

½ to 1 cup chicken stock

 

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400° F.

 

Pat dry the chicken with paper towels.  Rub one piece of lemon over the inside of the chicken, and rub the other piece over the outside of the chicken.  (Set the lemon aside for the sauce.) Rub ½ teaspoon of salt inside the body cavity.

Next, rub 2 tablespoon softened butter over the outside of the chicken, and sprinkle ½ teaspoon salt and some freshly ground black pepper over the outside of the chicken.

Place the chicken on a rack over baking pan, and put into preheated oven.

Wash your hands and any other surfaces that have touched chicken.

In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and squeeze any remaining lemon juice from the lemon quarters into the pot.

After the chicken has baked for 15 minutes, pour the butter mixture over the top and return to the oven.  Baste periodically until the chicken is “done”.  The cooked temperature should be 175° F.

Remove the chicken and put onto a dish.  Place the baking pan on the stove top; add the chicken stock and deglaze.  Scape the browned bits from the pan and combine to make a nice pan gravy.  Heat to reduce a bit. 

Serve the gravy with your chicken.

Enjoy!

Seafood green onion pancake

 Seafood green onion pancake maangchi’s recipe Some tips when making these pancakes: • For a vegetarian version, skip the seafood and egg and use vegetable stock. • The batter should be runny, because thick batter will clump when you cook it and your pancake won’t turn out well. • While cooking, press down and poke the pancake to make some gaps in between the green onions. You should see some steam coming up through the gaps, that means the green onions are being cooked nicely. • This pancake is too heavy to toss up and flip, so don’t try it! You’ll need a big spatula to turn it over. • Be sure to make the dipping sauce, that’s the best way to enjoy it! Ingredients   Serves 2 • ½ cup all-purpose flour • 1 tablespoon potato starch(corn starch) • ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus a pinch of salt • a pinch of ground black pepper • ¾ cup stock (anchovy kelp stock, chicken stock or vegetable stock), or water • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil • 12 green onions, roots and tops trimmed to 8 to ...
