Roast Chee-Kent :-)

JS decided he wanna master chicken :P

pppffffttttttttt and I was like YIPEEEE bonus for me

wuahahahahahhaha

another recipe from Thomas Keller

it was a simple roast chicken on a bed of root vegetables

and the first step was to clean and cut ur root vegetables 

dunk some olive oil, thyme, salt n pepper

we bought these Le Creuset stoneware during the Great Singapore Sale a few years ago

it costed like errrr less than SGD 10 each?

I wanted to carry the whole Le Creuset counter home coz everything was from 60% to 80% off!!!!

if only I live in Spore >_< 

then the whole counter is MINE MINE MINE!!!!!

JS used red skin potatoes, normal chat potatoes, LEEKS, sweet carrots and local green chilis 

u know chilis are damn sedap when grilled???

next clean the chicken

hmmmm why is the chicken looking so pretty smooth and fair?

wat chicken is this?

she looks all ready for miss pageant

clean its cavity with some fresh thyme and garlic

I was trying to capture the flakes of salt's fall....

but was quite difficult -_-

think capturing snow flakes falling is easier

euuuuuwwwww disgusting!!!!!!

then it's time to TRUSS the chicken

and I was asking the most silly question ever

"Do u know how to TRUSS a chicken?????"

JS threw me the slitted eyes look

without answering my question, he trussed the damn chicken in 10 seconds...

so action speaks louder

I tell u, he very very arrogant :P

Monkey blinked her eye in amazement and like a kid got JS to do it all over again

"again again again...!!!!"

Damn he's fast!!!!!

or prollie an idiot like me just dun get it :P

I dun know how he did it in less than 10 seconds

maybe he should consider a job trussing chicken Ayamas kitchen?

the chicken looked so pretty :D

heheheheheeh

I dunno why I was so amazed....prollie just too excited coz I get to eat chicken again

kuak kuak kuak

then get a good quality baking tray

it is one of the must have in any kitchen

a good one will last u for years and it will not warp after numerous torturing, abusive usages

JS got his baking tray from Royal Doulton by Gordon Ramsay Collection

in stainless steel

u can also use stoneware and enamel ones from Le Creuset

spread the root vegetables nicely and leave a space in the middle for Miss Chicken

the chicken must not touch the baking tray

so pretty teee heee heee :D

with the colors fr the vege

dun waste all the olive oil fr the root vege marinate

just drizzle over Miss Chicken

slap some butter on its skin

:)))))))))

bake it at 475 fahrenheit for 25 mins

then change the temp to 400 fahrenheit for another 45 mins

that's like damn long for a small chicken

and check the temperature between the thigh and breast

it has to reach at least 160 fahrenheit

aiyo so ma fan next time i buy Ayamas lar!!!

also u need to check that the juice that comes out fr the chicken 

the moment u pull out the temperature prob....the juice has to be clear

-_-"

finally!!!! wuahahahahhahaha

and I got the honor to carve it :P

then JS said we need to let the chicken rest for 20 minutes

WATTTTT another FREAKING 20 minutes?!?!!?!?!?

I'm hungrrrryyyyyyy :"((((((

aaaaAAaaaaaaaa

very juicy and moist

very very moist

the leeks were outstanding

super sweet

JS oso opened a bottle of white burgundy

"Wat's the occasion???"

JS: "No occasion, just enjoying a quiet evening with u :)))"

and we had a quiet Candlelight dinner hehehehehheeh

this tealight was given to me by Jen

she didn't want it and she had it for years!!!

"heyyy but it's Bernardaud porcelain!!!!!!"

Jen: "I just know it's expensive and I dun appreciate it."

"HELLOOOO it's legend!!! it's Bernardaud!!!!"

and quickly snatched the delicate turquoise box fr her hands

:P

Sorry I very tak malu one
