Juicy Roasted Chicken image

My grandmother's recipe for roasted chicken. We are German and she used to do it this way all the time. I never have had a chicken this juicy before; this little trick works and makes the people eating it go silent. It's funny. We nibble on the celery after.

CORNISH HEN - GERMAN STYLE



CORNISH HEN - GERMAN STYLE image

Categories     Chicken

Yield two

Number Of Ingredients 6

Small hen, halved
lemon
3T bread crumbs
11/4 T Parmasean (sp?) cheese
1/4 t ground ginger
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Sprinkle hen with 1/2 lemon's juice Combine dry ingredients in paper bag - coat hen Roast, skin side up, 350 degrees 45- 50 minutes

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Look for a whole chicken that is plump and has a moist appearance. Avoid chickens that are excessively thin or have dry, cracked skin.
  • Brine the chicken: Brining the chicken helps to keep it moist and flavorful. Combine water, salt, sugar, and herbs in a large container and submerge the chicken for at least 2 hours.
  • Season the chicken generously: Before roasting, season the chicken inside and out with a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. Roast the chicken at 425°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in more tender meat. Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
