Guest guest Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Well, I usually start from frozen (as I never remember to take something out to thaw LOL) I put the chicken in a roaster, add 1 cup water, sprinkle with any spices that strike my fancy and put in into a cold oven (just remember to turn it on, LOL I had a dinner party once and just as they pulled in the driveway I realized I hadn't turned the oven on!!) Turn the oven on to 350 andbake for 2 hours, then toss in any veggies you want to bake with it and put it back in for another hour. Then we enjoy the chicken thouroughly, when done I toss the whole kit and kabootle back in the roaster, fill with water and put back into the oven. Leave at 300 degrees (F) overnight. Next morning you will have the most beautiful broth you could ever possibly imagine! Enjoy! , I have been boiling my chickens but not happy with my broth. There are a lot of recipes for baked chicken. Since you are having such good luck, would you mind telling me exactly how you are doing it. Temp, covered, uncovered, spices, veggies added, water? What temp do you cook the bones?

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Thanks , I roasted 3 rock cornish hens yesterday and put the bones back in for stock. Had to add water because when I roasted the hens, I did not add water so there was very little liquid. The hens were delish! I put an herb butter (ghee) mixture under the skin and I squeezed some lemon juice over the hens before cooking in a preheated 475 degree oven for 45 minutes. I can't eat chicken and now I can add cornish hens to my list of foods I cannot eat. It was wonderful but I had major problems from it all last night. Glad to hear you start with a frozen chicken,LOL! I can never remember to thaw it out either! Funny about forgetting to turn on your oven for the dinner party. I guess it was not funny at the time, though! Sounds like something I could easily do. Oh, one more question. Do you cover the chicken and/or stock while cooking? Thanks, Del Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spending a day struggling with simmering pots and open flame on the stovetop has made me much less interested in making my own broths. That sounds much too easy to be good for me.....

For the first time this weekend I used chicken feet in my stock. WOW! It turned out really great! Very gelatinous, very thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
