Tortured Chicken Using That Contraption Recipes

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a heavy baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside.
• For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk the red wine vinegar, oregano, fennel seed, mustard, salt, pepper and garlic. Gradually whisk in the oil.
• For the chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the salami, pepperoncini, prosciutto, provolone and tomatoes with 1/4 cup of the dressing; toss to blend evenly.
• Place the chicken breasts, smooth-side down on the work surface with the thickest part at the top and the straight side on the left. Using a very sharp knife and starting on the right side, cut each chicken breast almost in half horizontally (stopping close to the left side), creating a pocket for stuffing. Open the chicken breasts like a book.
• Mound a fourth of the stuffing onto the right side of the breast, and press firmly to compact. Fold the left side (flap) of the chicken tightly over the stuffing. Lay three 10-inch pieces of string on the work surface 1 to 11/2 inches apart. Place the chicken on the strings and tie the strings around the chicken at intervals to keep the flap closed over the stuffing. Press in any stuffing pieces that fall out.
• Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1/4 cup of the dressing.
• Roast until the chicken is cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a sheet of foil. Let rest 5 minutes.
• For serving: Divide the arugula among four plates. Cut the strings off the chicken. Cut each breast on a slight diagonal into 1/2-inch-wide slices. Fan the slices of one breast over the arugula on each plate. Drizzle with the dressing and serve.

Steps:

• Mix 4 dry ingredients together.
• Use this rub inside and out of the cleaned, dry chicken.
• Be generous.
• Place 1/2 can of beer in center of roasting pan.
• Position"bottom" of chicken over beer and slide chicken over the can of beer until the chicken is"sitting" upright in the pan.
• The fit will be snug and chicken will be secure.
• Roast uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
• Do not baste, do not turn pan.
• The beer will steam the chicken deliciously.
• When done, carefully remove can of beer from chicken and serve.
• Chicken can also be carved while"sitting" on the beer can.
• I have"tortured" 2 or 3 chickens in the same roaster and did not have to adjust cooking time.
• This melt-in-your-mouth chicken will get rave reviews.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Wash and pat dry chicken inside and out. Combine 1 packet Sazon, Adobo, and paprika. Loosen skin from breast area and rub in about a third of the seasoning mixture. You can spoon the seasoning in and rub the outer skin to do this. Rub a third of the seasoning into the cavity. Then rub remaining seasoning all around the outside concentrating on the legs.
• Place the upright roaster in a larger baking dish. I use a large glass baking dish and just turn the roaster until it is stable; it does not sit on the bottom of the dish. Or fashion something out of an aluminum foil pan. Place garlic and 1/2 the onion in the cup. Pour in enough beer to fill cup. You can also just place a partially filled beer can in cup.
• Stuff cavity with remaining onion, lemon half, and fresh herbs. You can, of course, vary the herbs you use. Carefully sit chicken on cup or beer can. Do not worry if some liquid leaks out. Place second lemon half, cut side down, to cap neck cavity. Insert digital meat thermometer into thigh.
• Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F, about 2 hours.
