The Before, the Pre, and the Post: Courtesy of Thomas Keller’s favorite roasted chicken recipe, which has also become ours.

  • 1. Getting the chicken dry means getting the chicken dry, even the wingtips.
  • 2. Truss with a nice bow and salt with Danish Viking Smoked Salt. The chicken will look like a prickly bear.
  • 3. Plated goods: Roasted fingerlings, cilantro leaves (blanched for 2 seconds and dressed with balsamic vinegar and sesame oil), stray peas from the garden and… the chicken oyster—ah!

Add one chicken: The classic dish for so many reasons. Whether you’re feeling-under-the-weather, want a meal-in-one-pot, or think there’s-just-something-about-boiled-chicken, you can’t beat chicken soup. Into our Shamrock-Shake green Le Creuset cast iron oval oven we put carrots, daikon, ginger, salt, and an air-chilled chicken from Whole Foods. After bringing to a boil and skimming the little clouds, we let it simmer for a few hours. The two fork technique is good for breaking up the meat, and digging out the special little nuggets (some call it oysters) from the chicken’s back.
