Hens are seasoned with thyme, salt and pepper and stuffed with shredded carrot and white rice cooked in chicken broth. Potatoes are tossed in olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Brussels sprouts are tossed in olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Served with a dry chenin blanc. Homemade kettle corn for dessert!

Such a pale hen! Was the skin crispy?

It was decent. The breast temp was 180 so I didn't want to leave it in longer, but I would have liked a browner bird.

Interesting, I wonder if it's a quirk of that type of bird. Still looks delicious :)

Roasted brussel sprouts, so money.

Try making a light vinagarette from apple cider vinegar, olive oil, whole grain mustard, Grey Poupon, cracked black pepper, minced garlic. Adjust proportions to taste and toss with the roasted brussel sprouts. Add crispy chopped bacon if you're in a saucy mood.
