Because I'm getting another delivery today (only 8 lbs. of seafood), and because my freezer is practically bursting at the seams, I needed to clear a little room in it. And what takes up more room than whole chickens, 2 of which happened to arrive yesterday from D'artagnan, one of which ended up in the oven...
Untrussed (cause it's just easier), salt and pepper, maybe a little Herbes de Provence, convection 375℉ for about an hour, this "green circle" chicken is very tasty - that skin crisped up beautifully. I'm gonna pick all the meat off and use it for something like pot pie and chicken salad, as well as make a stock with the bones; I confess to eating both wings, which were delicious. As long as the oven was on (yesterday was a good day for that)...
A couple of duck legs, cured overnight and roasted after the chicken was done, at a much lower temperature. When they were done, the root veg went in, tossed with some of the fat from the duck legs. Who knew roasted winter radishes would be good?! Along with potatoes, a purple carrot, and various other odds and ends from recent veg box deliveries. Salad on the side (the last of my fresh greens at least until Monday).
