InstaChicken.

A couple of days ago I was surfing the web when my wife mentioned that her parents were coming over for dinner Friday and wanted to know if I had any ideas on what we should make. Normally when she says something like this (and it's more frequent than you might imagine) I have absolutely no idea of what to have for dinner at some time in the distant future. That is because I am a man, and men don't think about food until they're hungry. I really have no idea why after so many years she still asks these kinds of questions.

But this time I said that I would cook a roast chicken with vegetables. I was browsing Instapundit at the time and was reading his chicken recipe. It sounded really good. Michelle was very surprised I had an answer but was willing to let me handle it.

The chicken was delicious -- really moist and tender. The vegetables were firm and not soggy. And there was just the right amount of gravy at the bottom of the pan to make the meal perfect. The four of us ate every scrap of meat on the chicken and all the vegetables. The only change to the recipe I would suggest is to cook it for less time, depending on the size of the bird.

Thanks, Glenn!
