Roast chicken

Last dinner with Ann and Zack we roasted a chicken in the barbecue using indirect heat. It was really yummy, based somewhat on an oven-roasted chicken recipe from one of Mom's old cookbooks, and partly improvised. The stuffing was wild rice, onions, mushrooms, a little apple cider, and sage. Oh, and pecans. Then we basted it with a mixture of butter and blackberry jam - very Northwest of us.

Anyway, it was delicious. We had an unusually coordinated meal -- lots of NW-ish things, with roasted butternut squash from Ann's garden last year, and a salad with goat cheese, more pecans, and dried blueberries. It occurred to me that the dried blueberries would have also been a nice addition to the stuffing.

So, good for us once again. :)
