Y'all know by now that I eat a lot of chicken, but did you also know that I'm a big fan of garlic. Put them together and you've got this . . . my very favorite roasted chicken. And yes, Frannie, you can do this one, too! And, look, Char. No calories! Enjoy!

Cathy's Roasted Chicken
serves 4
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

5 lb. chicken (or as close as you can come)
1 carrot, peeled
1 small onion or 1/2 med. onion
large sprig Rosemary
3 full heads of garlic, cloves broken off but not peeled
1 can (15 1/2 oz.) good canned chicken broth
1 c. white wine—not sweet—use Chardonnay or Savignon Blanc or White Vermouth
3/4 c. good soy sauce (Kikkoman or the like—do NOT use La Choy)
Pepper to taste

Wash the chicken inside and out. Take out any giblets or other parts. In the large cavity, place the onion, carrot and Rosemary. Place the bird in a medium roasting pan. Throw all the garlic cloves around the chicken. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken. Pour the wine over the chicken. Pour the soy sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle with pepper. Bake for about one hour, basting 3 or 4 times with the pan juice. When it is done, slice the chicken, put on plates with several of the garlic cloves (they are wonderful to pop out of the skins and eat!) and put a small ladle of pan juices over the top. Just yummy.

I like to lift up the skin on the chicken and then slide the garlic cloves between the skin membrane and the meat.

I also do this with orange ( usually clementines ) slices. LOL - not at the same time as the garlic though. Laughing

That reminds me of a gal here at work (a non-cook Laughing

). She takes a can of frozen orange juice concentrate and sticks chunks of it on top of her turkey at Thanksgiving. She really likes that.

When my dad makes duck he makes a glaze out of orange juice. It really crisps up the skin. I guess it would work the same with turkey.
