Garlic Herb Roasted Chicken

This recipe couldn’t be easier and the results can make meals all week!

INGREDIENTS

1 whole local chicken, 4-5 pounds

Oil of your choice

1 tablespoon of Hippy Pilgrim Thanksgiving Garlic Salt

1 tablespoon of Hippy Pilgrim Garlic Herb Salt Free Seasoning

1 cup of water

Place water in a roasting pan and add the chicken. Rub the chicken all over with the oil, garlic salt and salt free seasoning. Roast at 325 degrees until the juices run clear and a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees for white meat and closer to 170 degrees for the darker meat.

Remove chicken from the oven and loosely cover with foil and allow to rest for 20-30 minutes. (Save the pan juices and the chicken carcass for chicken broth later in the week.)

Serve chicken on its own or atop Harvest Salad with Cranberry Vinaigrette (recipe on page 85).

Break Rock Brewing opened to the public on March 3, 2022, becoming Quincy’s only craft brewery and taproom, and one of only a handful of oceanfront breweries in Massachusetts. With accordion windows, a glass storefront and a patio, the brewery has stunning views of the water and surrounding area. People enjoy the location, the beers and seltzers. The taproom is always active with special events, pop-up vendors, live music, and more. They have some great events planned for the fall and winter and are excited to ramp up the Community Cornerstones initiative that provides the space for free to registered nonprofits in an effort to utilize the taproom as a force for positive change and good works.
