Tim,

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

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.
Amy

Thanks, guys - this is a definite to do for Thanksgiving.

Amy, What temp did you use to roast, Zuni or Hazan?

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

Amy 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. --Lisa
