Milk Chicken ~ Jamie Oliver

Merry Christmas 2018. Mom, Greg and I enjoyed Milk Chicken, mashed potatoes and baked carrots and green beans. The only thing that would have made it better would have been to have everyone here!! We miss you all!!

Rub chicken with olive oil and salt and pepper.
Melt 1/4 cup butter in a dutch oven that will just be slightly bigger then the bird.
Add Chicken and start searing. Keep flipping bird getting a good sear on it. When the butter is black/brown, remove bird and discard butter (not down the sink). Add another 1/4 butter repeat process. Repeat again if need be. Remove butter.
Remove bird, keep all the bits in the bottom of the pot, add 1/4 butter, add smashed garlic, lemon peels and then sage. The aroma is amazing!! Add cinnamon stick. Add milk. Add bird breast side down for one hour then flip and continue to roast uncovered another 30 minutes. Let your chicken rest for 10 – 15 minutes before serving.

I did the mashed potatoes by the video instructions below.. basically, just mash your potatoes, add 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/2 warm milk. Mix by hand not with anything powered or you’ll have paste. Watch the video.

BEST CHICKEN WE’VE EVER HAD!!
