The second most prepared meal on my list was
Sittin’ Up Chicken. This is a favorite
for Sunday dinner! I discovered the “chimney cooker” several
years ago and fell in love with this method of preparing chicken. (I am currently on my second cooker. They are difficult to find, but worth the
effort!)
I season the chicken in the
morning before getting dressed for church, place it in the oven on low (along
with baking potatoes), and come home later to a tender, moist, tasty meal. As an added bonus, the leftover meat is perfect
for using later in the week as the basis of another dish. I love being able to get two delicious meals
from a $5 chicken!
Sittin’ Up Chicken
1 whole chicken (I like to use the largest
fryer I can find.)
Seasonings- about 2-3 Tablespoons total: I use a mixture of Creole seasoning (yes, I
DO use this a lot…very tasty!), garlic powder, salt, pepper, herbs de Provence,
and rosemary. (You can experiment with
different herbs and spices to please your own palate.)
Liquid:
This can be broth, any juice, wine, Dr. Pepper…be adventurous!
Equipment needed: a chimney roaster (Here are a few links showing different
types: )
Cooking time varies according to the size
of your bird and the temperature of the oven.
Since we are gone for about 3 hours on Sunday mornings, I like to cook
mine at 290 degrees for about 4 hours.
The skin is nicely browned and crisp, and the meat is moist and
tender…it literally falls apart. This
cooking temperature and time will also give you wonderfully tender baked
potatoes. Heat up some green veggies
and/or throw together a salad, heat up some dinner rolls, and you have a feast!
I usually have a good 2 cups or so of
leftover meat, which is perfect for most any chicken dish: enchiladas, soup, fantasy crepes (recipe will
be added at later date), chicken & dressing, etc.
Ge 9:2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. 3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
