Day One with Chicken

I love getting many meals out of one simple chicken! I started with a roasted chicken, then used the bones to make soup stock, and then made chicken tetrazini.

Roasted chicken is very easy to prepare, and I love how the chicken tastes on the flavors of the herbs inside.

Roasted chicken

1 lemon

4 cloves garlic (from Open Oak CSA)

1 inch of ginger root

1 t each of oregano, rosemary, parsley, thyme.

1 whole chicken

salt, pepper

Olive oil

Place chicken breast side down in oven proof pan. Mix the herbs, salt and pepper together and put inside the chicken with the lemon, garlic, and ginger root. Cover the outside of the skin with olive oil. Bake 425F for 15 min/pound + 10 minutes (this one was 75 minutes).

After we ate dinner, I removed the meat from the bones and saved the carcass to make a soup stock.
