Poulet Roti et Asperge grillees
Posted by Nerdyy
It's Summer! Ya didn't think I'd be moping inside did ya now?
Recipes:
1. Poulet Roti
About a 3-4 pound chicken (whole), keep about half a stick of butter outside to room temp, add salt to butter, mix it and apply under the skin of the chicken all around. This seasons the chicken well and also gives it the wonderful golden brown crisp skin (although take care not to tear the skin like I've done here!). For added flavor you can add cut up garlic under the skin, herbes de provence, and also quarter a lemon and keep it in the cavity while roasting.
I'm using a cast iron skillet, works well on the grill, take care to have some oil on the skillet because the grill gets really hot and can burn the chicken.
Temperature - about 450F for 45 minutes then bring the grill down to about 350 for half hour, we are looking for 175-180F temp for a thermometer inserted into the thigh.
2. Asparagus
Very simple recipe: Wash, cut, drizzle olive oil and salt. I'm using a vegetable grilling pan - very handy because it prevents the veggies from getting burnt on the grill.
For an accompanying drink if you prefer wine, go with a Sancerre or Pouilly Fume from the Loire Valley; or a Pouilly Fuisse or even a generic Chardonnay from Burgundy.
For this particular meal, I made a very refreshing summer cocktail: 1 and half ounce Gin, 1 and half ounce Aperol, half a can of grapefruit Seltzer and lots of ice, garnished with a slice of lemon. Yum!
BON APPETIT 😎
