Country Cooking Recipes

 Many of the Country Cooking Recipes have been collected from Church and  family kitchens across the south. There's nothing better then tasteing down home country cooking.

I really don't know who is the better cook in my family, my mom or dad. Dad can barbeque some awesome tasteing ribs and mom is an expert with deserts. I hope you find what you are looking for.

Roasted Chicken Country Cooking Recipes

Never underestimate the fragance of a fresh roasted chicken. An example of the beauty and simplicity of roast chicken has the power to satisfy, impress and appetize.

It takes a little longer to roast a chicken than other cooking methods, but it requires very little preparation time.

Fragrant, crispy, roast chicken skin is delicious. Some fans insist it is the best part of the chicken.

It does contain a great deal of fat and many people remove it to avoid the extra calories.

If you choose to eat it or remove it, always leave the skin on during roasting, because it holds in moisture and prevents the meat from drying.

Prep time 15 minutes Cook time 1 hour Ready to eat in 1 hour 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS: 1 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon white sugar 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 (4 pound) whole chicken 6 cloves garlic, crushed

DIRECTIONS In a small bowl, mix salt, sugar, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon. Brush the chicken with the ingredients. Cover chicken, and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Stuff the chicken cavity with the garlic cloves.

Place the chicken, breast side down, on a rack in a roasting pan.

Roast 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce heat to 450 degrees F, and continue roasting 15 minutes.
