Recipe Introduction
Here is a coating you can put on all poultry before roasting. Instructions and comments are from Elaine in her own words.
List of Ingredients
1/2 c Paprika
Salt to taste
Garlic powder to taste
Onion; dried to taste
Pepper to taste
Water; to make paste
--LIKE a thick finger paintRecipe
This will do about a 12lb turkey. Cut the amounts in half for a roasting chicken. Other seasonings are to taste. I never did measure.
Basically you make a paste of the above ingredients. It should be the consistency of finger paint; thick and not runny. If you have kids, put them in old clothes and let them help. I smear it in and out of the cavity. Notice that this does not have any Gravy Master or oil...both unneeded in my opinion. The skin cooks nice and crisp.
Remember to baste during cooking.
BTW, use this in the Nuke too. Sometimes we do a turkey or chicken in there when we have lot's of other baking/roasting to do. When Howard was in training to be a Chef, he brought home a bunch of fellow students for dinner. Not one of them even came close to guessing that the turkey had been made in the nuke.
Since this has no added fat; (no usual added butter or oil); it helps keep the turkey moist without adding calories. I have done this on skinless breasts too. It adds minimal 'calorically'.
I simply roast the chicken/or turkey the normal way (usually with a stuffing). The skin is crisp and good (but probably not good for you).
