ROASTED CHICKEN
A Butter Pat Test Kitchen Recipe.
Serves 2-3
INGREDIENTS
-
3-5lb Chicken
-
Kosher Salt
-
1 tsp Olive Oil
METHOD
-
Preheat oven to 375ºF
-
Prepare the bird by removing it from any packaging, drying thoroughly and allow to sit in a pan, uncovered in your fridge for up to 24hrs. Minimum 4hrs.
-
Once rested and dried, with a pair of kitchen shears or sharp scissors, remove the backbone of the bird. This is known as "spatchcock." This will allow your bird to cook more evenly and have a crispier exterior.
-
Place the bird breast side up and apply the olive oil on the entire bird. Sprinkle with a bit of kosher salt.
-
Place skillet in the middle rack of your oven uncovered for at least 1.5hrs. The internal temperature of your chicken should read 160-165ºF.
-
Remove skillet from oven and allow to cool for at least 15min. Carve and plate up or pull apart -- it's time to eat! Serve with hot Dinner Rolls and Roasted Veggies.
SEARED HANGER STEAK WITH CHARRED SCALLION SALSA
There was a time not that long ago when you’d walk into certain butcher shops, ask for a hanger steak, and get a quizzical look. Perhaps that’s because, for some time, the secondary cut was also known as a “Hanging Tender,” hailing from inside the ribcage (in fact, it’s part of the diaphragm), as well as “the Butcher’s Steak,” with those cunning meatmongers often keeping this deeply flavorful, textured specimen for themselves. “But the gig is up,” says Pryles, who shares her pan-cooked version with us, featuring wagyu, no less, and a bright salsa to boot.
LOST CREEK CHILI SAUCE
To the unknowing stomach, a West Virginia hot dog is pretty simple. Hot dog, steamed bun, diced onion, yellow mustard, a creamy slaw, and a slathering of chili. But the secret is often enough in the sauce. “In West Virginia, you’ll find a lot of variety,” says Mike Costello of Lost Creek Farm in Harrison County, who grew up outside of Charleston with a slightly spicy version and was kind enough to share a personal recipe with us—and you.
NEW YORK STRIP WITH BROWN BUTTER BACON SAUCE + BALSAMIC DRIZZLE
It’s grilling season, and meat master Tuffy Stone has a foolproof recipe for summer cooking that can satisfy a crowd. “The first time I made this recipe, I was competing in the Kingsford Invitational barbecue competition in New York City,” he says. It was the contest’s “one bite challenge,” and Stone won. But the best prize? A North Carolina pitmaster telling him afterwards, “you’re one tough dude.”
