ROASTED CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Allow the chicken to rest at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a small bowl or mini prep, mix together the butter with the rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, then rub the chicken all over with 3 tablespoons of the herbed butter. Cook's Note: Make sure chicken is dry. Slide some of the butter underneath the breast skin. Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen string.
• In a small roasting pan, pour in the white wine and place the chicken breast side down. Roast for 15 minutes. In a medium bowl, season the potatoes with salt, and pepper and drizzle with oil to coat. Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Remove the chicken to a plate turning it breast-side up. Brush the rest of the herbed butter on top of the chicken. Add the potatoes to the bottom of the pan and place the chicken on top.
• Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F, and return the chicken to the oven to finish roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the inner thigh, not touching the bone, reaches 160 degrees F, about 1 hour more. Once done, remove the chicken to a carving board and let rest 10 minutes before carving. Remove the potatoes to a serving bowl.
• Return the roasting pan to the stovetop over high heat. Deglaze the pan with the lemon juice, scraping up the bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
• To serve: Place slices of chicken on plate with potatoes and drizzle the pan sauce over both.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH BULGUR AND WALNUT PILAF

Steps:

• Rub the chickens with a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Put them breast side down in a roasting pan so that the fat runs down, which prevents the breasts from drying out. Add 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the pan. Roast for 1 hour in an oven preheated to 400°F, then turn the chickens breast side up and continue to cook for about 30 minutes, depending on their size, until they are well done and the skin is crisp and brown.
• While the chickens are cooking, prepare the pilaf. Wash the bulgur-although I find that with the processed qualities of bulgur today, this is not strictly necessary. Pour cold water over it, stir well, and then rinse under cold running water. Fry the onion in the oil until it is soft and golden. Add the bulgur, stir well, then pour in the hot stock. Add salt (taking into consideration the saltiness of the stock), pepper, cinnamon, and allspice. Stir and cook, covered and undisturbed, over very low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the grain is tender. Check the seasoning and add salt if necessary. Finally, fold in the walnuts and the butter pieces.
• Carve the chicken and serve with the bulgur pilaf.

CROCK POT CARIBBEAN CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Season the chicken pieces with seasoning salt or regular salt and pepper.
• Brown both sides in oil and butter in a skillet; transfer to the crock pot along with the chopped tomatoes and potatoes.
• In the same skillet saute onions, garlic, brown sugar, cayenne, bell pepper, thyme and chili flakes (if using) until soft (about 4 minutes).
• Stir in the chicken broth to the skillet and stir with a wooden spoon on low heat scraping up any browned bits in the skillet.
• Pour the broth/veggie mixture over the chicken and potatoes.
• Cover crock pot and cook on high heat for about 3-4 hours (adding in the coconut milk and season with salt and pepper the last 40 minutes of cooking).

CHICKEN WITH BULGUR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Mix together the salt, cinnamon, allspice, and pepper; rub mixture into chicken (you can remove the skin from the chicken, if you like).
• In a heavy, wide frying pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil.
• Add the chicken pieces and cook, turning, until all sides are browned.
• Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside; discard the pan drippings but do not wipe out the pan.
• Melt the butter in the pan you cooked the chicken in; add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft.
• Add the uncooked bulgur and currants and stir to coat well with butter.
• Spread the bulgur mixture in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan; place the chicken pieces on top.
