Julia Child will tell you: The key to a really good roast chicken is butter. For these, I softened butter and spread it under the skin of the breast and thigh, then nestled some herbs in there, too. To get […]
Catherine and Boo joined us for a supper by the fire, and we cheered on Catherine’s alma mater as the Wisconsin Badgers beat the undefeated Kentucky Wildcats in a crazy-fun final four game. Catherine was beside herself with the size […]
It being a Sunday night, I took a little extra time with these birds, slipping softened butter, thyme and rosemary under the skin, and rubbing the outside of the birds with garlic cloves, lemon zest and lots and lots of […]
It’s been a while since we pulled out Mindy Fox’s excllent book “A Bird in the Oven.” One favorite recipe is Roast Chicken in Porchettata, where you take the delishy flavors of sage, garlic and fennel pollen that you find […]
It’s been a long time! A year! But Pete and Jeannine were in town for Thanksgiving and we were finally able to catch up with them again. We had our SCF usual: Roast chicken. Yes, a little gravy and a […]
We headed back to Polpettina for a Restaurants We Love story for The Journal News, and confirmed, that, yes, the pizza is still delicious. So is the chicken: crispy skin, juicy meat and terrific roasted vegetables alongside.

Irene came over and made dinner for us on our first Saturday night home from the hospital with Sam. Roast chicken, kale and a mushroom-potato side. Delishy. Yum! More photos, after the jump.
So in keeping with the theme of Mindy Fox’s new book, “A Bird in the Oven and Then Some,” I used my leftover roast chicken for a second meal: Thai Coconut Soup. I really like Mindy’s recipe, but I did […]
Expecting a snow storm, we warmed the house with roast chicken. We had it for supper with fingerling potatoes and romaine lettuce:
We were so happy to still have Chris and Barbara in town after Thanksgiving. We had to do our farm chores during the day on Friday, so those guys headed to the city to lunch and a museum. (And had […]
At first, it was just roasted chicken and mashed potatoes. But then we added some Brussels sprouts. And some roasted butternut squash with sage and thyme. Lo and behold — we had a mini-Thanksgiving on our hands: Best part? We […]
