unknown
List of Ingredients
1 4-1b. (plus/minus) chicken
1 stick butter, softened
fresh herbs of your choice, to taste (I use bay leaf, garlic, sage, oregano
& rosemary)
1 to 3 lbs vegetables: Carrots, potatoes, onions, turnips, or whatever you
like - mushrooms would be nice too
1 cup liquid - wine, chicken broth, water, etc.
Recipe
Split bird down back or butterfly. Chop herbs & mix w/butter. Work half of
the herbed butter under skin of chicken. Drizzle bottom of Dutch oven
w/olive oil. Place chicken, skin-side-up, in oven. Season w/salt & pepper.
Top chicken w/remainlng herbed butter. Use approximately 12 briquettes under bottom of oven and plus/minus 16 on top. Add vegetables, sliced to maximum of one-half inch thick. Add liquid. Cooks in approximately one hour and 15 minutes.
There will be lots of broth, so make a pan of cornbread. Place a big slice
cornbread in bowl - top w/chicken & veggies. Dress with a few more fresh
herbs.
