Roasted Chicken

So I was planning on getting some cornish game hens and stuffing them but my local market was all out of the fresh ones and apparently no longer carries them except during the holiday season. Fucking bastards. So I ask the butcher if the whole fryer chickens are actually whole or is it just a name and he looks at me like I have a fucking helmet on and says "yes, they are whole." I decide to take one home and I start mentally preparing myself to cram a bunch of food up its anus. Let's begin:
I didn't take any pictures but before I put this fucker on the grill I took 5 strips of lightly cooked bacon, a bunch of thyme, and a head of peeled garlic and shoved it up its ass. Be sure to remove the bag of crap on the inside before you start stuffing, genius. Place chicken on the grill over indirect heat for 2+ hours. "Did you get an albino chicken or something?" First of all, chicken is white, retard. Second, it isn't even cooked yet. In the words of Paul "Positive-Reinforcement" Roberts, "Just cool your jets, mister!"
Here is my finished product. The legs pulled off without any effort and that is the sign of a perfectly cooked bird. Too bad you dropped your chicken in the dirt while you were taking it off the grill. Sucks to be you. Eat it.

I love Cornish game hens! I dust them inside and out with some home-made seasoning blends, wrap 'em in bacon and smoke 'em on a vertical roasting rack, then finish them in the oven for a nice crispy skin. The bacon does the basting for you...God bless bacon!

So are you saying you don't wear the helmet when you are out? That is when you need it the most!

All the 'caution' signs on it embarrass me.

That looks pretty good.

Damn right it does.

How would I do this in the oven? I don't have a grill yet. Just learning how to broil...

Cooking Asshole said...

DO NOT broil the chicken.

Cook at 375 for 1.5 - 2 hours.

Covered or uncovered. I guessed uncovered....

Cooking Asshole said...

Definitely covered.
