Dinner tonight will be Honey & Mustard Chicken with Smashed Potatoes and steamed vegs.  Haven't decided on dessert yet.
The  man who said it can't be done should not interupt the woman doing it.

Thank you for all your lovely comments about Mr Chicken. The hard work is all down to him and his fatty skin that makes him look so succulent and delicious :D

Oh YUM astarra :) I love roast pork even more than I love roast chicken.... ;)

Apparently the chicken skin isn't that bad - it's the fact that as the chicken cooks and fat comes out of the chicken, the skin catches it and absorbs it. I can't remember where I read that, though.

I personally can't stand the thought that it's the chicken's skin. It makes me feel gross to eat it. Apparently eating the chicken's meat is OK, but mentally I draw the line at it's skin... Work that out! Lol

That sounds very logical Amanda ;) Skin is sort of like a sponge in that sense, even chicken skin. Oils, moisturiser, sun screen... it all gets absorbed. Not that a chicken would wear sun screen, but I'm just saying that there's no reason why that principle of absorbtion can't work from the inside out when you cook a chicken :D

Thanks nazar :D
You're so right about the smell! ;D Would anyone say I was crazy if I admit that my favourite thing about a roast is actually the delicious smell that fills the entire house? :-))

I usually do beer ass chicken on the BBQ so all the fat runs down leaving A nice crispy fat less skin.

Unfortunately I have deleted the photo but itis here somewhere.

Beer Assed Chicken

Take a can of beer , open it, drink half.  Put some herbs in can. Wash and dry chicken shove the beer can up it's bum. Place on a tray or something that will collect  the liquid . Put the whole thing on the BBQ . use indirect heat ie: not over a burner but leave one burner  on  so heat circulates around bird. Close lid. Turn chook   45 degrees every  15minutes until done in about I hour. You can do multiple cooks in a baking dish. Never fail. Looks impressive no need to baste but if you want to you can. Fat plump moist  chicken.

OR you can google it.
