Sexy Saturday Night Roast Chicken



This chicken was too special to be my usual Friday night roast chicken, so I will reserve it for Saturday nights only, when chickens feel sexy and like to get dressed up.

I make the same boring, but delicious roast chicken every week.

I usually stuff the bird with fresh herbs, a quartered lemon, and rub with olive oil, sprinkle liberally w/ kosher salt and pepper.
Roast 425 for 70 minutes.

Well last night, I was feeling feisty!

CAUTION: FOOD PORN AHEAD
MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YRS OF AGE TO PROCEED







You know I love to clean naked chickens. I know, I am weird.



So to be a bit decadent, I stuffed prosciutto and sage leaves under the skin of a 4 lb. chicken, then massaged olive oil on top and sprinkled kosher salt over the skin.

Sounds erotic, doesn't it?



It wasn't.



Throw a lemon in the cavity and roast it the same way as I usually do. 425 degrees.

Let rest a few minutes before slicing.



This chicken was over the top. So succulent & juicy, served with those oh so sexy, roasted little white trees (cauliflower!).

You had me laughing here in the kitchen, all by myself. Too funny. It does look something to keep from the kiddies - and delicious too.

Great shots -- erotica for the feathered set. I thought I was the only one who loves to handle uncooked poultry! I'll definitely make this later in the week. We enjoyed your herb-roasted pork loin and artichoke gratin for our Friday evening dinner (as well as the BBQ pizza mid-week). Will you be posting some Passover recipes for the upcoming Jewish holiday? Hope so!!

My guess is your visits are going to shoot up but not be your regular audience.

I should think of spiking my own posts with saucy vocab. That and namedropping the Martha Stewart bombshell for some reason.

This made me lmao! You reminded me instantly of my horrible and traumitizing (but now funny) first and last attempt at cooking naked birds! (I also love how you used the word naked as that is the word I ALWAYS use to tell my story, ppl think it's weird/funny!)

I actually can't stand handling naked birds! Eeewwwww!! Two Thanksgivings ago I was trying to be all brave and make my first Turkey and it turned out to be a disaster...I had a BIG naked turkey in my sink all day and was calling around to family and friends crying (yes really, I know) for someone to come to my rescue (no one came!) until my husband arrived home to me freaking out about it...I then proceeded to instruct him on what needed to be done from the living room! lol I was so completely grossed out and will never attempt it again...seeing your pics and reading your sexy poultry porn I can surprisingly handle just fine though!

Thanks for spicing things up this dreary monday morning!

Sexy indeed! You're hilarious. And that bit with the prosciutto and sage was inspired. I am so in love with roast chicken these days, I'm craving your plate.

It was around 11:30 p.m. last night when I read this on my IPhone. I giggled a little when I scrolled down to the food porn disclaimer.

what is it about a roast chicken that is so gosh darn sexy?

Have you ever tried Ina's recipe where you slice the roasted chicken over croutons which then soak up all the juices and fat? Talk about sexy. Whew!

I did the more basic roasted chicken tonite with herbs, lemon, salt, pepper and olive oil as you described. It was my first time to cook a bird. Yummy!
