I mean I've never seen chickens fly, have you? This was started when I saw some chicken leg quarters on sale at Publix so I decided to take a crack at it. Basically you see a before and after shot of a bird who was not terribly seasoned properly before roasting in the oven. What you see on the left are celery, onions, a ridiculous amount of paprika, parsley, salt, pepper and what I think is a poor execution of spreading rosemary evenly across the birds. So after adding a small amount of water to the bottom, I roasted it off at 400 degrees and it came out like you see on the right. The minor detail was that I forgot to baste the thing and the skin was pretty much crisp to a point where it had to be tossed. Not burnt, but the spices came off so strong on the bird that it was best to serve without the skin. I think it tasted alright; well after a dousing of Johnny Harris BBQ sauce, but this lead to another test which I will be sharing soon.
