Rapid Roast Recipes

KITTENCAL'S BEST BLASTED RAPID-ROAST WHOLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken inside and out well under cold water, then pat dry using a paper towel.
• In a small bowl mix the lemon juice with oil and melted butter until blended, then rub all over the chicken.
• Using clean hands rub the inside and outside of the chicken with seasoned salt, garlic powder, black pepper and cayenne (you can season the chicken under the skin also if desired).
• Place the lemon/s inside the cavity.
• Place the chicken into a baking dish (you can place the chicken onto a small roasting rack if desired and you may want to add in a little water to the pan to prevent smoking).
• Using cotton string tie the legs together tightly.
• At this point you may cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours (not more than that or the acid in the lemon juice will start to "cook" the chicken).
• Set oven to 450 degrees F.
• Roast the chicken at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 400 degrees and continue roasting for about 40 minutes (or until the internal temperature reaches about 175 to 180 degrees F. about 1 hour or a little less).
• Cover with foil and let sit for 15 minutes before slicing (do not slice before that time or the juices will flow out!).

KITTENCAL'S BLASTED RAPID ROAST 2-HOUR WHOLE TURKEY

Steps:

• Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
• Set oven to 450°F and preheat for about 8 minutes.
• Grease a large roasting pan and a flat rack to fit into the pan.
• Pour about 2 cups water into the pan or enough to cover the bottom of the pan generously.
• Rinse the turkey inside and out with cold water, then pat dry using paper towels.
• In a bowl mix together the melted margarine with salt until well combined.
• Slice off the hanging neck skin then tuck the wing tips under the breast.
• Using cotton butcher's string tie the legs together (do not use nylon string for this).
• Place the turkey on a flat rack breast-side down into the roasting pan.
• Brush turkey with margarine/salt mixture then generously season with fresh ground black pepper.
• Turn the turkey over with breast-side facing up, then brush the top of the turkey with remaining margarine mixture (you do not have to use the full amount of margarine) then season with lots black pepper.
• Insert a meat thermometer into the fleshy part of the thigh but away and not touching the bone.
• Roast turkey at 450°F rotating the pan 180°F about halfway through roasting (at this point you will most likely need to add in more water to your pan).
• Roast at 450°F for 1-1/2 hours to 2-1/2 hours, cooking time will vary depending on the size of your turkey.
• Cook/roast the turkey until the thermometer reads 170°F (the temperature will rise to 180°F when the turkey is removed from the oven).
• For 14-pound turkey start checking the thermometer at around 75 minutes.
• Do not allow the water in the pan to evaporate or your oven will start to smoke, add in more if needed during cooking time.
• When the thermometer reads 170°F remove from oven then lift one side of the turkey to allow the juices from inside cavity to drain off in the pan.
• Cover loosely with foil and allow to stand for 30 minutes (do not slice or stick with a fork or the juices will run out of the turkey).

RAPID ROASTINI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the gnocchi, making sure you separate them, and fry for 4 minutes. Then turn them around and give them another 4 minutes.
• Or if you'd prefer to bake them, tumble the gnocchi into a roasting pan, add the oil, and put it into a preheated 400 degrees F oven for 20 minutes, giving them a stir after 10 minutes.
• Cook's Note:
• I would not advise frying frozen gnocchi, as they could cause the fat in the pan to splatter.
