Earl Grey Chicken
- 1 Earl Grey Tea Bag
- 1 Tea Kettle Full Of Hot Water, For The Tea
- 1 whole Large Roasting Chicken
- 1 Onion, Cut Into A Couple Pieces
- 3 cloves Garlic, Peeled But Left Whole
- 1 pinch Salt
- Make up a pot of earl grey tea.
- Let it cool a bit.
- Rinse your chicken.
- Pat it dry.
- Put it in a roasting pan or Dutch oven (I used a Dutch oven).
- Stuff the onion and garlic inside the chicken cavity.
- Toss some salt over it.
- Now add the tea to the Dutch oven.
- Cover and place in a 375 degrees F oven and ignore for about an hour.
- Uncover and baste.
- Cover again and ignore for about another hour.
- Uncover and baste again.
- Cover and ignore for about 30 minutes.
- Uncover and continue cooking for another 30 minutes.
- Try to find the energy to baste it a couple times.
- I know youre worn out from ignoring the chicken but try to muster the energy to baste at least once.
- Remove from the oven.
- Pull the garlic and onion out of the cavity.
- Let stand for a little bit.
- (The bird, not the onion and garlicyou can discard those.)
- Carve.
- Enjoy.
- Tips and hints: My chicken was a huge arsey chicken so when doing yours, plan for about 30 minutes per pound.
- I know people say not to cover them but seriously buy a good Dutch oven and you never need to pay attention to a chicken or roast again.
- You could go all crazy and add all kinds of stuff but WHY!
