BACON ROASTED CHICKEN
My family loves this chicken! It is always so tender and moist and is a perfect Sunday dinner. The bacon helps to 'baste' the chicken while it cooks. Recipe can be adjusted to any size whole chicken.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Rub butter over the entire chicken. Season with salt, pepper and thyme. Place the carrots inside the cavity, and tie the legs together. Place the chicken breast side up in a roasting pan. Lay bacon strips across the top of the chicken, and secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle with paprika. Pour the beef broth into the roasting pan - do not pour over the bacon.
- Roast for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, the reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Baste with some of the broth. Continue to roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) when taken in the thickest part of the thigh. Baste every 15 minutes with the broth.
- Remove the bacon and discard toothpicks. Roast the chicken for 15 more minutes to brown the skin. Transfer to a serving platter, and remove the ties. You may eat the bacon, but it is best to discard the carrots.

SAVORY RANCH ROASTED WHOLE CHICKEN
Don't be intimidated by my overly detailed description, prep for this is no more than 6 minutes. This is the most perfect Roasted Chicken you'll ever make. The skin is crisp but not crunchy, the breast so moist you can cut it with your spoon and the dark meat is actually firm. All of this and yet seasoned to utter perfection. Not too salty, nor bland. I was so sick of Chicken, especially the roasted ones you get from Costco etc. The thought of the slimy consistency of the dark meat and the slippery skin of it makes me queezy. This is Perfect to make for company because they will never guess how simple and easy it was. ADDITIONAL: The onions in the onion soup have a tendency to burn so I'm going to sift them out next time and put them UNDER the skin with the butter....

Steps:
- pour the ranch dressing mix, onion soup mix and Paprika in a baggie and give it a good shake.
- Take about a Tablespoon of the mixture and smush it into 2-3T of the butter and set aside. To soften the butter microwave it for 10-12 seconds. Save at least half the butter without seasonimg.
- This will take about 2 minutes. Very carefully pat the Chicken dry with paper towel, then slowly separate the skin from the breast and top of drumsticks. Don't use anything but your fingers. Start at the breast cavity and slowly work your fingers between the skin and breast. Do not tear the skin at all costs! Once you have it loosened from the meat, take the softened, seasoned butter mixture and gently push it up under the skin, especially on the top of the breast and drumsticks. It will melt down into the breast as it cooks.
- Make sure you have patted the Chicken completely dry (or the butter won't stick) rub some of the spices into the skin, then take half the remaining butter and rub over the whole Chicken.
- Take the remaining spice mix and sprinkle over the whole Chicken, starting at the back, the flip and do the breast. Take the wing tips and bend them back behind the wing to prevent the wing tip from burning, and to keep the Chicken from rolling, and put uncovered in 350 degree oven.
- cook at 350 for 30 minutes.
- Reduce temp to 250 degrees. Drain whatever juice has accumulated and set aside. Cover the breast loosely with foil -once the skin has become light golden and crisp. (This keeps the spices from burning, especially the onions and allows the skin to keep the breast from drying out.) At this time you should carve the drumstick off the Chicken right at the joint (it will not be done) and put them on the bottom of the pan. This allows the dark meat to cook more efficiently, and keeps the skin nice and crisp all the way along the sides of the breast. For the best flavor, be careful to make sure the skin over the top of the Chicken is not disturbed.
- Continue to cook the chicken at 250 until you begin to smell it, probably and hour. Don't rush it, this is the only really tricky part. To test doneness take a fork, insert it INSIDE the breast cavity poke the thigh. Do not poke the skin. If it's done it will drain clear juice, and it will be really obvious if the dark meat isn't ready. Leave it in until you are sure the dark meat is done. As long as you have put foil over the breast and left the rest uncovered you will not burn or overcook the breast.
- Once it's done immediately remove the foil and drain the juices. This will be the most flavorful drippings you will ever taste. Save it for later, make a gravy or pour it over your dogs food if nothing else!
- dont let the chicken sit in juices, Remove from the oven it tastes much better cold than warm and slimy. The skin will remain crisp until the Chicken is cold. It should still be chewy until you refrigerate it though.
- Put the garlic cloves and 1T butter inside the breast cavity. Don't be tempted to put the cloves under the skin, it somehow affects the ability to crisp the skin and therefore causes the breast to dry out.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Lay out bacon slices on a parchment-lined sheet tray. Generously brush each slice with Frank's Red Hot Original. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until bacon is browned and cooked through. Drain bacon on a paper towel, keeping the hot sauce brushed side facing up. Set aside.
- Place a large piece of plastic wrap on a large cutting board (the entire board should be covered with plastic). Place 1 slice of bread in the upper left corner of the board. Brush the right edge of the bread with whisked egg, then place a second slice of bread next to the first so that it overlaps with the egg wash. Press the two seams of bread together with fingers to seal. Repeat with the rest of the bread, forming 3 rows of 4 slices, brushing with egg wash and pressing to seal wherever the slices overlap. This will form a large rectangle of bread.
- Use a rolling pin to roll out the bread rectangle as thinly as possible.
- In the center of the rectangle, lay out half of the chicken in a row. Top with a drizzle of ranch dressing. Arrange half of the bacon slices on top (horizontally), followed by half of the sliced cheese and half of the spinach. Repeat layering with the rest of the ingredients.
- Brush the top edge of the sandwich roll with whisked egg. Roll the entire sandwich up from the bottom to form a long log. Wrap log tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Lower oven temperature to 350ºF.
- Mix together melted butter and ranch in a small bowl. Unwrap the sandwich log, place on a sheet tray, and brush sandwich surface with ranch butter.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, until bread is lightly golden and cheese is melted.
- Slice and serve. (Optional: Serve with more ranch for dipping.)
- Enjoy!

JACQUES'S SAVORY-STUFFED ROAST CHICKEN
Yield Makes 4 or 5 servings
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- Special equipment:
- A small frying pan; a shallow- sided heavy aluminum or copper roasting pan or heavy cast-iron skillet, just large enough to hold the trussed chicken; a 1-quart glass measuring cup or deep bowl; cotton kitchen twine; a basting brush; a board or platter for resting and carving.
- Preparing the herb stuffing:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in the frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add the shallots, parsley, savory, salt, and pepper, stirring well and tossing in the pan. Cook for about a minute, just until the shallots begin to soften. Scrape the mixture on a plate to cool.
- Preparing the chicken:
- Remove any lumps of fat from inside the cavity near the tail.
- To make carving easier, remove the wishbone. Lift the flap of neck skin and insert a thin, sharp knife into each end of the breast; then slice diagonally along both sides of the wishbone. Use your finger and thumb to loosen the bone, pry it out at the top, and pull it down. Try to remove it whole-if it breaks, carefully wiggle out the pieces. Cut the wings at the "elbow" joint, leaving only the meaty section attached to the shoulder.
- Place the chicken on its back. To loosen the breast skin, lift the neck flap and work your fingers between the skin and the flesh, taking care not to puncture the skin. Slide your fingers down the breast and to either side along the legs, especially the thighs.
- Stand the chicken on its tail end in the measuring cup or bowl; hook the wing sections over the rim, to keep the bird upright. Hold the neck flap away from the breast and stuff the cooled herb mixture down between the skin and the flesh, pushing it gently to the sides and bottom. Lay the chicken on its back, tuck the neck flap underneath, and smooth the skin, to distribute the stuffing evenly over the entire breast.
- Roasting the chicken:
- Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt all over the chicken. Grease the center of the roasting pan with a small amount of butter or a dash of oil to prevent sticking (or place a small piece of oiled parchment paper in pan bottom). Set the chicken on its side in the greased pan and place in the oven.
- Roast for 25 minutes for a 3 1/2-pound chicken (3 or 4 minutes longer for a 4-pound bird), then turn the chicken onto its other side, grasping it with kitchen tongs or towels. The first side on which it rested will be deeply colored; be careful not to tear the skin when turning. Roast for another 25 to 28 minutes, depending on size, then turn the chicken breast-side up; baste with the pan juices. Roast for 10 minutes and baste once again during this final cooking. Test the chicken for doneness; return to the oven for a few minutes if necessary.
- Remove the chicken to a cutting board; place it on one side or breast down, so the juices flow into the breast meat, and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Final Steps:
- Make the deglazing sauce in the roasting pan. Drizzle about half the pan sauce over the carved pieces and serve, passing the rest of the sauce.

- Finely chop half the bacon. Heat half the olive oil in a small frying pan, then add the onion and chopped bacon and sauté for 7–8 minutes over medium heat, or until the onion is soft and the bacon is starting to brown. Transfer to a bowl, allow to cool, then add the sage, breadcrumbs and egg. Mix well and season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Divide the mixture among the chicken cavities.
- Fold the wings back and tuck them under the chickens. Tie the legs of each chicken together with kitchen string.

- Cut the remaining bacon into long, thin strips and lay them across the chicken breasts. Brush the bacon with a little more oil. Bake for 45–60 minutes, or until the juices run clear when a chicken thigh is pierced with a skewer. Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest in a warm place while making the gravy.
