FFwD ~ Hurry-up-and-wait Roast Chicken

We at
are cooking and baking from

Dorie Greenspan's around my french table
this Friday's dish:
Hurry-Up-and-Wait Roast Chicken
pages 202 n 203
First time ever begin roasting a chicken resting on one side
total of three turns
 
 roasting time: 25 min each for both sides and 18mins for last turn
 I do love my porcelain dinner plate with roses
 Dorie said to serve it with any kind of vegetable
or even a light salad (of character) (?)
so my salad was a mixture of tomato slices, wilted baby spinach,
pineapple chunks and guava slices drizzled with vinegar dressing
ok I was hungry - accompanied by three slices of 
french village bread with pats of butter




French Fridays with Dorie participants do not publish the recipes on our blogs we prefer if you purchase Around My French Table for yourselves which you can do here on Amazon. Or for free worldwide shippingbuy from The Book Depository. Go on, treat yourself then join us here!
hey - I am posting a two-fer!
Chicken Breasts Diable served with bow-tie pasta

 which the girls at FFwD did earlier on March 1, 2013
only thing was my DH asked that I sliced the chicken breast 
instead having it whole

  9. Your dinners look delicious! I have to say that these chickens did look pretty good once they were cooked! And especially beautiful on your rose plate!

  11. Great catch up ! We loved that chicken diable and I have made it again since that posting. Your roast chicken also looks yummy and I chuckled that your posted about the salad having "character"...Dorie had me laughing out loud when I read her suggestion for this.

  12. Good job on the chickens, Emily! I especially enjoyed the Diable. I've made that one again. Try Dorie's lazy person's chicken to compare with this one. It's my favorite

  15. The chicken diable was a great recipe. The hurry up and wait chicken was well worth the fuss, too. So tender and juicy.
