Title: Garlic Mud Chicken
Categories: Poultry
Yield: 4 Servings
| 3 | lb | Roaster Chicken |
| 3 | | Garlic* |
| 1 | tb | Cajun Spices, |
| 3/4 | c | Of Olive oil;** |
| 1 | c | All purpose flour** |
Preheat oven to 325 *large heads of (about 50 cloves) **or as needed As the
coating hardens and bakes on the chicken, the flavors and juices are all
sealed in.. Best chicken you ever ate. Put peeled garlic cloves in blender
with 1/2 cup of olive oil and Cajun spices. Blend until creamy consistency,
add more oil if needed. Place the oil and garlic mixture in a large bowl.
Add flour slowly, mixing until a very heavy, thick, smooth mud like
consistency is achieved. With string, tie the chicken wings and the legs
tight against sides of carcass. Using a spatula, completely coat chicken
with Garlic Mud, as evenly as possible, using it all. Fill in all crevices
between wings and legs. Place on a rack, breast side up, in a pan and put
in preheated oven. Roast whole chicken about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours or until
coating is browned well. If using cutup chicken, coat each piece very well,
place on a rack and roast for a shorter time, until chicken coating is
brown. Serve chicken with the crisp pieces of Garlic coating .. I would
suggest using a vertical roaster. It is a wire stand that the chicken slips
down on and is vertical. Set your bottom rack as low as possible to
accommodate in oven. Even a lower heat setting with a longer roast time is
even better.
