Too too hot today, but I threw this bird in the oven for 40 minutes on 500, seasoned down. While this flash cooked, I did onions, garlic, mushrooms, a little cornstarch. Pulled the hot chicken outta the oven and hit it with Longhorn steakhouse seasonings and butter.a combination of sweet peas, carrots, and bacon, pecan brown rice, and buttermilk biscuits...oh to love your family, good eating. Sorry but my boys ate before I could take pictures.
