Tequila - Rosemary - Garlic - Pepper - Olive oil
As many of you already know, I am not a cook..so I experiment with the free range, fresh poultry, as often as I can. This is something I came up with today and it was MARVELOUS!
1 Rainbow Ranch Farms Chicken (Fresh - 2.5-3.0lbs), 3 Cloves Fresh Garlic (chopped), Garlic Powder, 1/2 Cup Tequila Orendain Ollitas Reposado, Olive Oil, Ground Black Pepper, Ground Rosemary (from my garden, dried in 2008).
I washed the chicken inside and out, placed it in a large bowl (breasts up), sprayed it with olive oil (until covered), sprinkled black ground pepper until it covered, then sprinkled the Garlic powder generously, followed with the rosemary (very generously. I poured tequila inside the cavity, then stuffed it with 3 large cloves of chopped garlic, and let it sit for about 30 minutes covered with a towel.
I have a small countertop convection oven (DecoSonic)the temperatures are in celsius. I placed the chicken breasts up on the rack, cooked it on 200c for 30 minutes, then I flipped it over (breasts down) on 200c for an additional 30 minutes. Finally I flipped it one more time breasts up and browned it on 220c for 20 minutes.
It was GREAT!

The snow is about 2 feet deep, some of the chickens and turkeys came out to snow play, others chose to stay in their cozy coops. If you can not see the photos, click on the link to open it.
9 STEPS TO A BASIC TURKEY RECIPE: Add seasonings to taste. Since cooking times vary and can depend on you elevation, humidity, ambiant temperatures, oven working conditions etc.. this is based on a meat thermometer.
This recipe I used on a 39# White Holland Turkey Tom and he was simply delicious. He finished out tender, moist and bursting with natural flavor. I cooked him without any seasoning, no salt, no pepper "NOTHING", and the meat was almost falling off the bones.
