FREE RANGE ROASTED CHICKEN WITH JUNIPER AND HERB



Free Range Roasted Chicken with Juniper and Herb image

I offer this recipe as a fantastic way to roast a chicken. I highly recommend that you purchase a free range chicken. I adapted this recipe from a wonderful Italian Cookbook titled "The Villa Table", by Lorenza De' Medici. If it is still in print, I definitely recommend it for a very comprehensive and refined collection of great Italian recipes. The combination of herbs and flavors in this dish are surprisingly mellow. Your kitchen will have the most glorious aroma while the chicken slowly roasts to perfection. This is no "Slouch" of a chicken,.....I assure you!

CHICKEN WITH GIN AND JUNIPER



Chicken With Gin and Juniper image

I collected this easy recipe for my friend Gene long ago. I personally am not fond of gin, but he is, so I put this recipe in my Wednesday, January 30th, 2002 LJ entry. It appears, from searching online, that I got the recipe from the UK Bafferts Gin Food Recipes website. The gin and juniper could be easily swapped with sherry and some other herb or spice, too, for a completely different taste.
