Roast Chicken For The Win
Well, goodness. Why didn't anyone tell me sooner about how easy and effective butterflying poultry is? Why yes, you can roast a whole chicken in 40 minutes and have it come out with the most amazing, super-crispy skin imaginable. But even better than that, finally, finally a way to get herbs and aromatics to really flavor the flesh of the bird instead of just sitting in the cavity getting mushy. Put the garlic and rosemary under the loosened skin of the bird, salt the skin liberally, and roast the butterflied bird skin-side up. Fantastic! The chicken actually tasted of garlic and rosemary.

And if you, too, would like to learn how to butterfly a bird and don't happen to have the complete Good Eats on DVD, you can get a good look at how it's done on YouTube (of course you can).
And just by the bye, the internets are really coming into their own, lately. Not only did the President call on a correspondent from Huffington Post during a recent press conference, but last night's footage of the horrific plane crash in upstate New York was being credited to YouTube on CNBC. Yes, you heard it first on the innertubes.
