I made Tyler Florence's (Food Network) "Roast Chicken Times Two" recipe last night and is it just me or are there too many flavors going on? I stuffed this organic chicken bigtime with 1/2 red onion, 1/2 fresh lemon, 3 fresh garlic cloves, 2 big fresh bay leaves, a bunch of fresh thyme, and salt/pepper (all coated in olive oil). I scattered a lb of cremini mushrooms around it with more fresh thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper. All this was according to recipe.
I baked it at 400 for 1 1/2 hours (i know, i thought it should be 350 too but it worked...Ina Garten says 425 even). Everyone said it was delicious but I felt it was too flavorful. I'm wondering if I'm the only one.
Also of note: The recipe said the thermometer reading for this chicken should read 165 but my thermometer says Poultry-185...so I cooked it longer to 185 and it was perfect. What's up with that?
