Roasted Chicken in Moist Clay Vessel

There are as many different ways to roast a chicken as there are grandmothers. But few can beat roasting a bird in a moist clay vessel.

Romertopf Clay Pot

This young gal is stuffed with fresh thyme and onion wedges.  Rubbed liberally with a good quality extra virgin olive oil and simply seasoned with s&p she is ready for a ride in the oven at 350 degrees.

When done, one hour covered and an additional 30 minutes uncovered to brown the skin, you will have a moist and succulent bird.
