Cozy Sunday Roast Chicken

Word of Today: Gaggle

gaggle (n.): a flock of geese

Hey Spencer, use it in a sentence, please!!

All right, all right.

Here goes nothing: I looked out the window, only to find a whole gaggle of geese right outside!

I roasted a whole chicken last Sunday. It was awfully cozy.

Don't you wish you were at my house last Sunday?

Something TF, LA, JP (a post on him later) and I think is funny is the way one often clarifies that he or she has cooked a whole chicken even though I, for one, would never say something along the lines of "Oh look, TF, LA, and JP! A whole squirrel just climbed up that tree!"(Comment below if you think this is funny or if you even understood it!)

Okay here's the recipe:

4 whole medium-sized or 2 large potatoes

2 whole zucchinis

2 whole onions

1 whole chicken

1 whole head of garlic

1 whole lemon

some salted butter

some olive oil

some salt and pepper

C) Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

H) Peel the potatoes and cut them into pieces roughly the size of two of TF's thumbs.

I) Don't peel the zucchinis! But cut them into the same size as the potatoes.

C) Peel the crinkly outside parts of the onions off and HURL them into the bin (that's British for trash can).

K) Thaw the whole chicken if it's frozen but if it's not, just take it out of the plastic.

E) Put all of the vegetables that you already cut up and put them in the bottom of a roasting pan so they are just one layer thick (this will make them delicious). Drizzle some olive oil over them and  mix them all up with a spoon so that they're all coated (ish). Then sprinkle some salt and pepper on them.

N) Rinse and dry the whole chicken inside and out (remove the insides that you'd rather not think about much) and salt and pepper the inside (GENEROUSLY). Then put it in the pan and cut the lemon in half and the garlic head in half horizontally and put them all inside the hollowed out and GENEROUSLY salted and peppered whole chicken.

!) Melt the butter and brush it all over the chicken. Then, salt and pepper the whole chicken and put it in the oven for about an hour and a half. This is just delicious. Prepare yourself.

All my love.
