Well, I am new here, but since it is my 63rd birthday, and I have been in the iron game for about 42 years[no, not trains!] I thought some of my ideas would be useful to folks.
This first post is about a simple recipe that will work with chicken, pork or rabbit. Yes, we ate the easter bunny, [visualize evil laughter here]. I am using chicken today, but substitute if you like. A split chicken [free range]one half here is thawed. Meanwhile I slice 1015 sweet onion, mushroom, criminis if possible, bell pepper and saute in butter. Here substitute whatever if you like. When this stuff is nicely done, I have disks of yukon gold potatoes on the bottom of a throwaway foil pan. Season the chicken, I assume all of you know how to do this = to your own taste. I learned from a jewish lady to always lay a bird belly down = it works! [In this case since I use a half chicken, then it is on its side] Pile the onions, mushrooms and bell pepper on top of the 1/2 chicken. The chicken back acts as a bit of a bowl and holds the buttered veggies. The bird is cooked in indirect heat,[two burner grill, bird on unheated side] in our south texas heat and humidity, we mostly cook on the gas grill outside. Now for anyone who is confused, the chicken is cooked low and slow, what temperature? I will assume some intelligence on your part. I specialize in lazy man's cooking, however I really like good taste. Have fun.
