The clay pot defin...Hey Kim, that looks delicious!<br /><br />The clay pot definitely does change the way it cooks, because as the water in the meat reaches a certain temp. it turns into gas. The pot keeps all that water vapor in a very tight little space, which raises the pressure a lot and forces much of the water to stay in the chicken.<br /><br />When I roast in regular oven heat, I give the chicken a thorough massage in olive oil, which creates a water tight seal around the meat. I also stuff it with a whole lemon, with dozens of holes poked in the peel. This slowly releases lemon juice into the bird from the inside out just as it is beginning to get dry.<br /><br />Also, one chicken is not too much for two people. One of the best parts of roasting a chicken is leftovers! How else are we supposed to make chicken salad? Chicken curry? Chicken sandwiches? Chicken Gumbo!!<br /><br />I have also had commenting issues, but only very rarely... well I guess if it was perfect a bunch of IT guys would be out of a job!Gabe Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098627333936861268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214008852340471685.post-430166244312262762010-02-01T02:59:44.213-08:002010-02-01T02:59:44.213-08:00Jennifer, you may want to check your cookie policy...Jennifer, you may want to check your cookie policy--if your browser does not accept cookies from third parties, or if they are deleted as soon as you navigate away from the page, i think that affects comments.

That's what I get for using a free service, I suppose. :-)<br /><br />Anyway, I know it's totally possible to roast a chicken in regular old dry oven heat...I even have a roasting pan! I just don't ever do it - seems excessive when it's just the two of us for dinner. If we were having a dinner party, however, it might be a good idea :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548150437127473109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214008852340471685.post-40026708948259447412010-01-27T11:21:49.053-08:002010-01-27T11:21:49.053-08:00(Okay, weirdness.

It's the same browser (IE, which sux) from the same computer, so WTF?)<br /><br />Anyway, that chicken picture was alarming. I couldn't tell what it was at first! All those lemon slices under the skin -- I recognized the drumsticks, but I couldn't tell what that big bag thing in between them was. Teehee!<br /><br />Roasting a chicken in dry oven heat is definitely different -- and entirely within your capabilities. Honest! I'd be happy to tutor you. I know I talk about how I never cook, but I *have* cooked in my past, and I do know how to make things, I'm just very very lazy about it.Jennifernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214008852340471685.post-2175726338444856482010-01-27T09:47:07.708-08:002010-01-27T09:47:07.708-08:00It made me want to invest in a little clay pot!It made me want to invest in a little clay pot!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548150437127473109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214008852340471685.post-61546727164338611562010-01-27T07:56:19.549-08:002010-01-27T07:56:19.549-08:00oh goodness, that looks AWESOME. makes me want to ...oh goodness, that looks AWESOME. makes me want to roast a chicken with loads of lemon slices stuffed beneath the skin. soon.shannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792360598341191990noreply@blogger.com
