Tim,

How would you compare Zuni's roast chicken with this version you posted ?
Amy


Amy,

I really did not answer your question. The Zuni dry-brining/high heat enhances the chicken flavor and maintains a roasted meat texture. Marcella Hazan's tight-trussing/low heat with lemons brings incredible moisture and flavor to the breast meat at the loss of the roasted meat texture.

On a practical point, Marcella's recipe takes ten minutes of prep. The Zuni recipe takes much more time.

Tim

Tim,

Based on your description, I think I may have found my holy grail of roast chickens. Combining the Zuni dry brining and the Hazan tight trussing produced an incredible bird.

Thanks, guys - this is a definite to do for Thanksgiving.
Ditto! We're travelling on TG so I'm cooking a week early for the 2 of us and it will be a perfect time to experiment. Looking forward to this!

Amy,

I would also like to know your method in more detail, too, because my mind was wandering down the same path. Dry brining, trussing and finding a place for some of that lemon juice to make the ultimate roast chicken.
