A Thanksgiving Chicken, A Practice Run, and Can You Really Have Too Much Dressing
It's almost that time of year again. That's right, the holiday about friends, family, and a fat man. Oh, wait, well friends and family, and food. I'm may be a fat man, but there are no chimneys, bags full of toys, or reindeer on the roof involved just yet. Nope, just a kitchen full of great food and hopefully soon after full bellies.
Duck Fat Roasted Chicken
With Sage Buttermilk Cornbread Dressing, Fried Shallot Green Beans, And Hot Bourbon Sweet Potato Casserole
Ah, Thanksgiving. Is there a holiday that is more about the food? I don't think so, and if you do you're out of your gourde (or in keeping with the holiday at hand, pumpkin). From the turkey (okay, chicken for us here), to the dressing (mine and The Picky Eater's favorite part), to the other wonderful sides, this is a day to eat and enjoy eating.
I won't lie, it's not easy, but you can do it. If a computer programmer can pull it off on a random Tuesday evening, then you can for Turkeyday.
The last time I made this, and yes I actually made this very meal, it took me right at 3 hours to make. Now, I had made biscuits and the cornbread (for the dressing) in advance, but you could get away with making those while you're making everything else. They go into the same temp oven and bake for roughly the same amount of time. I like them to be a bit stale so I made them in advance.
