Dinner tonight is late because we slept late after evacuating our building twice around 1 a.m. & 2 p.m. (someone was 🚬), but the brined and spatchcocked chicken is roasting at 450F right now. Dislike having cooking mechanism at bottom of oven #Cooksky #Foodsky #BrinedChicken #Meatsky #CheapEats

This week’s brined Mary’s Organic Chicken is cooking away. I kept it whole this time so our poorly ventilated kitchens at Flora Rino Denver Apartments is going to fill with smoke and set off the 🔥 alarm. But “condo grade” 😂. #foodsky #cooksky #BrinedChicken

Spatchcocked application where the backbone remains (great chicken for the dog) and other deboning happens to scrap bones.

Chicken wing with breast meat, perfect crispy skin, plated with kale that was cooked under the whole chicken as a one-pan cooking application.

Blonde uppy 🐶 Ashby putting in a request for more chicken 🍗 please. His pout snout on top of the hubby’s leg.

The finished product. Dark skin on roast chicken isn’t burnt, it’s the discoloration of the butter having the right effect. Puppy 🐶 Ashby would like “more chicken, please!” 🙏 #Cooksky #Cookingsky #BrinedChicken #SpatchcockedChicken u can post or DM for recipe details.
