Can anyone tell me why I mist the tops of breads to make them come out crispy yet I am supposed to dry my chicken to make IT come out crisp?
I have found the perfect honey whole wheat bread compromise. Comment if you're interested in the recipie (that pretty much goes for anything up here, btw)
I save the pan sauce I make from roast chicken, refrigerate it, and use it to cook risotto in. Gives it lovely intense flavor with zero work. This time I put sprigs of rosemary, garlic and mushrooms in the pan, buttered the chicken so the butter and fat would drip down, then took the cheap disposable metal pan, put it on the burner, and added half a cup of wht wine to deglaze. Then I cooked it down for a minute and poured it into a container. mmmm....fat.
