HEROIN CHICKEN
F&L Market has Perdue Roasters for .89 a pound. I love to roast this chicken over the weekend. It is important to marinate it for 48 hours for maximum flavor. Yes… it’s called Heroin Chicken, because it is pretty addictive.
Ingredients:
- One large roasting butterflied chicken (simply remove backbone and lay the chicken flat )
- 2 to 3 tablespoons black peppercorns, partially crushed
- 7 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 to 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and smashed
- A couple handfuls of fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- Fresh juice from one lemon
- Salt, kosher or whatever you prefer
- Optional: 2 tablespoons of dill
Tip: Let this chicken marinate for 48 hours. Place in a 400F oven for an hour to an hour and a half. Check your meat thermometer. The leftovers from this particular dish are just as scrumptious.
