I’m so use to just sticking my chicken in the oven and leaving it. This will take some getting use to but it sounds yum.

so I am going to do this tomorrow for some family that came to visit…but I was wondering if I could marry this recipe with the Thomas Keller’s Roast Chicken with Root Vegetable recipe in a big roasting pan..?…?….or will it kill the whole fabulousity of the Zuni one?

Roast chicken is my Sunday night meal as well. Eat half of it that night, then use the leftovers in lunches for the rest of the week. I have always wanted to try the Zuni method, and after seeing your photos, I’ll definitely give it a try next Sunday.

Fantastic post! I have tried doing roasted chicken recipes but It always end up over cooked or under cooked. Will try it one more time and use your recipe this time. =)

Now I totally want to try dry brining. Very interesting!

I actually JUST returned that cookbook to the library! I checked it out a couple weeks ago with full intentions to make one or two of the recipes. I didn’t quite make it past the first chapter (too busy!), but think I still may need to check it out again. Or buy the darn thing!

Beth — What I’d love to try is Ina’s chicken recipe but with the salting done a day in advance.

Mike — It’s not so much a dining room as it is a dining room/home office/mail station/library/cookbook receptacle.

But yes, that is why I no longer live in New York. When are you moving West?

Ahh how you luxuriate in Los Angeles. While saddened that you are not graced with an eat-in kitchen, your readers should take heart, Dear Kate, that you have a full DINING ROOM. (Remember your New York days when you just kept a table in the corner, or my early days when I had a flip up semi round off the wall with bar stools. Or the living room before that which was SEVEN FEET WIDE!) Not that I’m bitter.
