Episode 1: Roasted Chicken
WELCOME TO YOUR NEW FAVORITE (web) TV SHOW!! Economy
Bites, the show that teaches you to make yummy,
economical dishes that'll last you from Sunday to
Thursday!
Here is our first episode: Roasted Chicken. Believe
me, we struggled back and forth about which episode we
would air first. We landed on chicken for a few
reasons:
1: (most) everybody likes chicken.
2: It's ridiculously easy to make.
3: My hair looks fabulous in this episode...
Ok - so 3 is a joke (kind of) but the first two are
legit. Chicken is the universal meat upon which all us
omnivores can agree, and I strongly believe that it's
a staple we should all know how to make, mostly
because you can roast a chicken, cut it up, and use
the pieces in about a million different ways. Plus,
it's a beautiful thing when you reach in the oven
empty handed and come back up with a gorgeous, crispy
bird. Oh, vegetarians, I'm sorry right now.
When it comes to roasting, I think we have this false
idea that it's an intimidating process. Maybe it has
something to do with salmonella, the terror of under
cooking a large piece of MEAT. But making a roasted
chicken is like a joke it's so easy to make a tasty
bird. Especially with this recipe.
This recipe I use is a compilation of about a million
recipes I read online and in books. For some reason,
like, 8 months ago, I became obsessed with learning
how to make a really fabulous roasted chicken. I took
bits and pieces of info from a few recipes to create
the one I now call "Allie's Favorite". I've made it 4
or 5 times, and it always comes out juicy and
delicious. Perfecting this roasted chicken recipe was
a big win for me, and that's probably the real reason
why it's episode had to come first.
HEY! WHICH CAME FIRST!! THE ROASTED CHICKEN OR THe..
... .. .
Ok, I know there's a joke in there somewhere.
If you like the video, and you want to take a stab at
my chicken (ha), you'll find the recipe
here. Tomorrow or the next day I'll post two salad
recipes for your left overs! The first is my patented
lunch mish-mosh salad, made of ingredients I just toss
in and enjoy. The second is my good buddy (fellow
foodie) Ian's anchovy-less Caesar salad w/
cheesy garlic crouton. MMMMMMM-mmm. Everyone likes a
good Caesar salad, right?
So I hope everyone LOVES this episode. I hope you LOVE
it and you EMAIL me to tell me how MUCH you love it!
