Инструкции
- Reserve chicken giblets for other uses. Pull off and throw away lumps of fat from chickens. Rinse birds inside and out and pat dry.
- Sprinkle 1/2 tsp. poultry rub in each bird's body cavity. Place 1/2 the onion, lemon, and parsley in each chicken. Pin body cavities shut with small metal skewers.
- If using cheese, starting at the neck, gently push your fingers under skin of each breast to loosen skin. Spread 5 ounces cheese under skin of each chicken, pressing to create an even layer over breast.
- Rub skin of each chicken all over with 1/2 the oil and 1/2 the remaining poultry rub. Set chickens, breasts up, at least 2 inches apart on a rack in an 11- by 17-inch roasting pan.
- Roast in a 400 degree oven till a thermometer inserted through thickest part of thigh to joint registers 175 degrees, about 65 min (about 55 min in a convection oven).
- Using pot holders to protect your hands, tilt chickens to drain juices into pan. Set chickens on a platter and let rest in a hot place 10 to 15 min. Stir pan juices to release browned bits; skim and throw away fat, and pour drippings into a small bowl. Carve chicken and serve with juices.
- This recipe yields 8 to 10 servings.
- Comments: To make your own poultry rub, mix 1 1/2 tsp. each dry thyme and dry oregano with 1 tsp. each garlic pwdr, kosher or possibly sea salt, and coarse-grnd pepper. For adult tastes, spread a layer of goat cheese beneath the breast skin. If you have only one oven, roast the chickens, then keep them hot while the macaroni bakes.
