  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instruction

Prepare the Chicken:

  1. Clean and Dry the Chicken:
    • Remove the giblets from the chicken cavity. Rinse the chicken inside and out under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Season the Chicken:
    • In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, and oregano.
    • Rub the olive oil all over the chicken, then evenly coat the chicken with the spice mixture, both inside and out.
  3. Stuff the Chicken:
    • Place the lemon halves, crushed garlic cloves, and any fresh herbs you are using into the cavity of the chicken.
  4. Truss the Chicken:
    • Using kitchen twine, tie the legs together and tuck the wings under the chicken to ensure even cooking.

Prepare the Vegetables:

  1. Season the Vegetables:
    • In a large bowl, combine the carrots, potatoes, onion, and bell peppers. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Toss to coat evenly.

Cook the Chicken and Vegetables:

  1. Prepare the Rotisserie and Oven:
    • Preheat your grill or rotisserie oven to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C).
    • Secure the chicken onto the rotisserie spit, ensuring it is balanced.
  2. Cook the Chicken:
    • Place the spit onto the rotisserie. If using a grill, ensure it is set up for indirect cooking.
    • Cook the chicken for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
    • Baste the chicken occasionally with the drippings from the pan (if your rotisserie has a drip pan).
  3. Roast the Vegetables:
    • While the chicken is cooking, spread the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer.
    • Roast the vegetables in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown.

Finish and Serve:

  1. Rest the Chicken:
    • Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the rotisserie spit and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before carving.
  2. Serve:
    • Carve the chicken and serve it with the roasted vegetables on the side.

Tips

  • If you don’t have a rotisserie, you can roast the chicken in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting occasionally.
  • For extra crispy skin, you can finish the chicken under the broiler for a few minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup arborio rice
  • 1 pound chanterelle mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instruction

  1. Prepare the Broth:
    • In a medium saucepan, heat the broth over low heat and keep it warm.
  2. Cook the Mushrooms:
    • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chanterelle mushrooms and cook until they are golden brown and any liquid they release has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer the mushrooms to a plate and set aside.
  3. Cook the Aromatics:
    • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the chopped onion and cook until it is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Toast the Rice:
    • Add the arborio rice to the skillet and stir to coat the grains with the oil and butter. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is lightly toasted.
  5. Deglaze with Wine:
    • Pour in the white wine and stir continuously until the wine has been absorbed by the rice.
  6. Cook the Risotto:
    • Begin adding the warm broth to the rice, one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until the broth is almost completely absorbed before adding the next ladleful. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and tender, but still slightly al dente, about 18-20 minutes.
  7. Add the Mushrooms:
    • Stir the cooked chanterelle mushrooms back into the risotto. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat the mushrooms through.
  8. Finish the Risotto:
    • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. If the risotto is too thick, you can add a bit more broth to reach your desired consistency.
  9. Serve:
    • Serve the risotto hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Tips

  • For extra richness, you can stir in an additional tablespoon of butter just before serving.
  • Make sure to clean the chanterelle mushrooms thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
  • The key to a great risotto is to stir continuously and add the broth gradually, which helps release the starches from the rice and create a creamy texture.

Prepare the Peanut Sauce Dressing:

  1. Make the Dressing:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, sriracha (if using), minced garlic, and grated ginger.

  • If you prefer, you can also use chicken or shrimp instead of flank steak.
  • Adjust the heat level of the dressing by adding more or less sriracha or chili garlic sauce.
