Friday night after work I stopped by the Home Grown Foods store. It stay open until 7:00pm for people like me who can't make it to the Farmer's Market. A young farmer was there and he was selling fresh chicken's and will be each Friday from 4pm until 6pm. It was 2.88lbs and cost $7.00. Since we weren't going to the lake I thought I would cook it on Saturday. Saturday I went to hit golf balls and I was fortunate to run into Chuck. He gave some brief instructions which I followed. I cleaned the bird and rub it with butter then put salt and pepper on it. Simple deal. I lit the grill and placed the plate setter on with a pan of chicken broth on top of it. Placed the grates on then forgot I was going to put apple wood chips on so I slipped them down the side. I put the additional grates on then placed the little chick on that. I maintained my temp at 300 degrees the whole time and checked it at 45 minutes. It was not too brown so I cooked it another 15 minutes then checked but left it on another 20 minutes. It looked and smelled wonderful. It was very juicy. We had a party to go to so we didn't get to try it until tonight. I made a platter of fresh heirloom vegetables, hard boiled eggs and it made a light meal after a busy weekend! I'm anxious to try it next time fresh off of the grill.
Great photo of roasted chicken!!!
