Chef's Tip

It's exciting that even at this stage in the game, after 15 years in the food industry, I can still discover a new "chef's tip" for myself.

If you're roasting 1 chicken, just go ahead and roast 2.

After all, with the right roasting pan (may I recommend the wonderful petite roti by All-Clad) roasting 2 is just as easy as one. And even with just 2 eaters on hand, the benefits are plenty:

1. we both get 2 wings, all crispy-salty-greasy wonderful
2. even after a big Sunday dinner I'm left with 1 de-meated carcass and 1 almost whole chicken which becomes:
2a. 2 chicken sandwiches (1 breast + 1 thigh)
2b. enough chicken bits for a pot pie
2c. bones to make a decent chicken soup (just add to sauteed veg, mmm).
