Aida is the Bomb!


Okay, so I've been watching the Food Network for many years and I really like this new school set of chefs they have: Aida Mollenkamp, Sunny Anderson, and I loooove the Neelys.

Recently I tried a roast chicken recipe from Aida (Ask Aida is her show). I've been trying to get Roast Chicken right for years now. The best recipe I've had has been from Real Simple magazine, which gave me the coveted crunchy skin on the outside, but the inside never cooked completely. I tried Aida's Slow Roasted Garlic Chicken recipe from the Comfort Food episode.

This chicken was to die for! I couldn't even carve it without eating the crispy/flavorful/still had the kosher salt on it skin! It was soooo good! Even better, the inside was done! No blood any where in site. I know that's gross, but that's literally how my roasted chicken used to turn out.

The only con I discovered was that the breast was slightly dry, but just a dip in the liquid at the bottom of the pan and this was totally a non-issue! If you've been searching for a really good roast chicken recipe, you should try it!

I'm curious...who's your fav. new school Food Network chef?
