Recipe Introduction

Ham Radio Day Amateur radio is a community of people that use radio transmitters and receivers to talk to each other. They are called ham radio operators or just "hams." (The origin of this nickname is lost, so nobody knows why.) But, it's more than just a high-tech hobby. Normal means of communication are often lost during floods, hurricanes or earthquakes. Hams are always ready to use their radios for emergency services and help.

Ham Radio Day



Radio Roasted Chicken

I have no idea what Radio has to do with it, but it's wonderful!


4-6 servings 5¼ hours 15 min prep
Change to: servings US Metric
1 (4 lb) roasting chickens
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons fresh thyme
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
6 garlic cloves, slivered




Recipe

Combine rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. Separate chicken skin from chicken breast and thighs by running your fingers between the meat and the skin, being careful not to tear the skin but, to create a "Pocket" between the meat and the skin.

Rub seasoning mixture in the "pockets" and distribute garlic slivers beneath the skin.

Place any remaining seasoning and garlic in the cavity of the bird. Cover in container or plastic bag and refrigerate a minimum of 4 hours. Overnight is preferable to get the full effect.
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Place chicken on a vertical roasting rack or breast side up in a roasting pan. Roast bird for 35-45 minutes or until the meat thermometer reads 190 degrees.
Remove skin prior to serving.
