How do you do the bird?

I always crown the chicken, stuff it with garlic and celery, sew it up, cover in duck fat, salt, pepper, rosemary, roast in Dutch oven at 400

The only RIGHT way.
Shove a beer can up it's butt and stick 'er on the grill.

>>21669323 (OP)
That's a lot of rosemary

>>21669326
How does that not come out dry as fuck?

It just doesn't.

Anyone got any carving tips? I always end up butchering the breast, the skin slips off and a bunch of meat stays on the carcass. Yes I care about presentation.

>>21669355
You need to understand the structure of the bird by butchering a whole raw chicken and then seeing what the skeletal structure of the bird is like.

There's a place near me that does chicken like this for some reason. Ever try that?

The steam from the beer moisturizes the chicken.

I'm a simple man - soup.

>>21669355
also use the right knife and use it well

Mexicans call this "raped chicken" which I find the best name to describe what is happening in that grill.

I haven't cooked a whole bird in a long time, if I do that it's likely getting pulled apart and being made into a sandwich. I just pat some bone in chicken thighs dry if I have any leftover from a recipe, rub olive oil on them and season with salt and pepper, then bake at 400 and they always come out super crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It's so easy and low effort and tastes better than most high effort meals. All you gotta do is pat em dry and oil em and they come out perfect every time. And it's dirt cheap too, like $2 a lb.

>>21669323 (OP)
shake n bake thighs

>>21669335
Never heard of it, but my guess is that the steam created by the beer cooks the bird from the inside better compared to no beer and just tighter air cavity, so you're basically cooking the bird in less time. It'd be really crazy if it actually works that way, cause that'd be a huge gamechanger imo.

>>21673243
I'd be wary though, that the skin cavity surrounding the beer can needs to be cut so there's a little gap and the beer isn't air tight gripped by the skin, cause you want some steam to be able to escape.

Go to walmart, grab bagged rotisserie sitting in the warmer. Grab a loaf of french bread, grab a big handful of napkins. Get a bottle of water at checkout. Go to town on that bitch in my car like I'm a caveman while listening to talk radio.

>I always
You can't cook. Real chefs try different something different every time.

Don't do this, it's a complete placebo, it's been tested and doesn't do anything. It doesn't make the chicken more moist or taste better and you are sending plastic fumes into the chicken. This meme needs to die.

Search YouTube for "Martin Yan carves chicken." It's the best tutorial out there and he shows how easy it can be.

What do you put in your soup? I'm always looking for something other than the normal "celery, onion, carrots."

>>21675485
Peas, lots of Peas, highly underrated veggie.

>>21675485
nta but cabbage, stewed tomatoes, zucchini, green beans, potatoes, peppers, daikon, lentils, rice... pretty much anything can go in soup.
Your onions carrot and celery is just mirepoix

What the other guys said, and definitely don't sleep on parsnip, it has a very mild sweetness to it. Also herbs and spices can make a lot of difference obviously - I sometimes put turmeric in my chicken soup to give it a more vibrant look and the aroma is nice as well.
