2 to 3 teaspoons salt as needed
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 large bunch parsley with stems, washed and drained

  • Sprinkle chickens inside and out with salt. Divide stick of butter in fourths and put piece inside each chicken. Add giblets and pack each cavity with fourth of parsley. Close cavity with skewers or truss closed.

Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon water, or as needed

  • Transfer liver mixture to three 7x4-inch disposable pans. Cover pans with aluminum foil and place in a baking pan. Pour enough water into the baking pan to come up halfway up the sides.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until cooked through, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cool to room temperature. Cover with lids and refrigerate.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken breasts remain tender and juicy throughout the cooking process, it's crucial to avoid overcooking them. Use a meat thermometer to accurately measure the internal temperature of the chicken, and remove it from the heat once it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also gauge the doneness of the chicken by cutting into the thickest part of the breast. If the juices run clear and there's no pink in the center, the chicken is cooked through.
  • To enhance the flavor of the chicken, marinate it in the parsley-based mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the herbs and spices to penetrate the chicken and impart their flavors.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of sear, resulting in a less flavorful dish.
  • To create a crispy and golden-brown crust on the chicken, make sure to pat it dry before searing. Excess moisture will prevent the chicken from browning properly.
  • Once the chicken is seared, transfer it to a baking dish and finish cooking it in the oven. This ensures that the chicken is cooked evenly throughout.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Danish parsley chicken is a delectable and flavorful dish that's perfect for any occasion. The combination of tender chicken, aromatic parsley, and savory spices creates a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.
