Roasted Chicken

Yay! I've made roasted chicken on the pit in my new oven last night. It was just a hurried one, nothing fancy. I only rubbed salt, pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, and basil. I may have to find some other ones next time. Though, it may take a while coz I still feel guilty about eating the flavorful skin. 

Since it might be a while, I really have to take note what I got to do better next time. 
1. Thaw and marinade the chicken longer, at least an hour. Maybe even try to peel off the skin and just rub the seasoning right on the meat

2. Tuck the chicken wings on the pit. It was a pity watching the wings stretched and be deformed when it start turning on the stick.

3. Preheat the oven. I did not preheat the oven last night and it took me more than an hour to cook it. 60 mins @ 200 degrees Celsius, 10 mins @ 250 (getting desperate) and lowered to back to 200 for the remaining 10 mins. 

If I happen to make a bigger one next time, I may need to adjust the temperature and allotted cooking time. I can probably dream about trying something like Balinsasayaw chicken as the goal. But of course, that is totally a different one coz it's grilled on fire.

Speaking of goals, I've finally placed the order for mini-pound bread pan last Thursday. I forgot to pay it on the same day so I had to go out early the next day at the NH bank to put in the cash. I'm expecting it to be here later today.

What will I bake on it to test it out? Hmm..maybe a simple bread or milk bread that my husband wanted to try a few days ago. :) KH tried to make the tortilla last night which turned out to be crispy. Why? He made smaller balls, stretched out the dough which in turn produced a thin wide irregular disk. Didn't really looked like any tortilla that can be folded at all. And he thought tortilla is just easy to make? I'm curious if it will try it again. He already mentioned last night about making a pizza dough might be easier. Ha!
