10 hour chicken

For serious - 10 hours... I had to have it the oven by 8:30 am to have it ready for 6.
When we finally took it out of the oven it was falling off the bones, thought I found the breast piece I had a bit dry - maybe I cooked it a little long at the end when you are supposed to uncover and up the heat

I also am not a good judge of measurements - and when it says to put a "generous" amount of salt - I think I maybe put "excessive" amounts :)

Now I need to go tweet it so Gwyneth sees it and invites me over for some of her schancy cooking :P

at the 9.5 hour mark

Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend - we got suddenly hit by winter here, it's been very cold! I hear it's supposed to warm up this week so I can quit complaining :) I have been quite busy in my kitchen - there are alot of food posts coming as well as a sweet Valentine treat tomorrow! Also Cassie has been working on a new feature that we will start sharing this week!

Gwyneth's Rotisserie Style Chicken

There is nothing Clifford hates more than when I decide to make something I have never made when we have company..but you can't really go wrong with chicken right? I have in the past made things that he had to take over and help with, but this was so easy! The drinks were flowing and I forgot to take a nice picture of the whole meal, so enjoy these ever so creative pictures of a dead chicken :)

My journey through Gwyneth's cookbook is making me feel alot more confident in the kitchen and making me a more comfortable with experimenting, like with this recipe you make a rub for the chicken, and that is something I never would have thought to do and I now have a few ideas of different flavour bases for it. Do you have a go to recipe book - or one you love?
