  • Night before:
  • Rinse chicken and pat dry.
  • Mix salts, garlic powder and black pepper together.
  • Liberally rub outside of chicken with salt mixture, then put the remaining salt mixture inside of the chicken cavity. Don't be afraid of the salt! Remember, we want the bird seasoned all the way through! I promise that it wont be salty. You may even want to use extra salt in the cavity, especially if you are using kosher salt.
  • Put into a plastic bag and chill in fridge overnight. The longer the better.
  • Day Of:.
  • Preheat oven to 350 f.
  • Put butter, lemon and garlic into cavity. You can also use herbs, onion etc.
  • Pat outside of chicken dry, then rub the chicken with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle Montreal steak seasoning on all sides. (Makes it really pretty when done).
  • Place chicken in a roaster with a rack breast side up.
  • Bake uncovered for approx 20 min per pound, or until thermometer in thickest part of thigh is between 175 to 180 degrees f.
  • DO NOT OVERCOOK!
  • Remove bird from oven and cover with foil. Allow to rest for at least 20 minutes, the longer the rest time, the jucier the chicken gets, so do not skip this step! It wont be juicy if it doesn't rest!
  • Enjoy!

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (10 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables
cooking spray
1 (14.1 ounce) package refrigerated 9-inch pie crusts, divided
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup milk

⅛ teaspoon ground thyme
1 (3 pound) rotisserie chicken, boned and shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place mixed vegetables in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power for 4 to 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray. Place 1 pie crust in the bottom of the prepared pie plate.
  • Stir condensed coup, mayonnaise, milk, celery salt, garlic powder, pepper, and thyme together in a large bowl. Add chicken and mixed vegetables; mix well. Pour into the bottom pie crust. Place remaining pie crust on top of the pie plate. Trim so crust is even with the edge of the plate and use a fork to press crust down around edges to seal. Cut 3 small slits near the center of the crust. Cover the outside edges of the crust with foil or a pie protector to prevent edge from overcooking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until crust is brown and flaky, 5 to 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, organic produce and free-range, antibiotic-free chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking chicken, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Season your chicken well: Season your chicken with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
  • Cook the chicken to the proper temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to the proper temperature. This will help to prevent the chicken from being undercooked or overcooked.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: After the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

By following these tips, you can cook delicious and flavorful chicken dishes that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give one of these recipes a try.
