Comments on: Perfect roast chicken http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/08/20/perfect-roast-chicken/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Thankyou so much Kim! :) Hi Angela-Thanks so much :) I only had 2-3 tablespoons left of the duck fat but when I get my paws on some more, I'll definitely use it on roast potatoes. I made the Goose fat potatoes a while back and they were great! Hi Patricia-Your mum has spot on taste I have to say! :) Hi spacegirl -Thankyou SO much! I will definitely give that a go. The bread salad sounds amazing too! :) Hi Duckey-Thanks so much! The added bonus is the scent when it is cooking :) Hi Maria-The funny thing is when I lived at my parent's house roasted anything would never work as the oven was too weak and incapable of browning anything properly. So perhaps it's the oven? :) Hi Kim-Buying a duck for the duck fat is a bit more troublesome than buying the duck fat but it is a lot more fun and I’d do the same! Thankyou so much Kim! :)

I'm not really good at 'roast anything' to be honest.. other than potatoes/vegies. There's something about cooking a piece of meat whole that challenges me. Your roast chicken looks very tasty indeed! I have never made a roast chicken that I’ve been happy with. I’m not really good at ‘roast anything’ to be honest.. other than potatoes/vegies.

This is the recipe: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4401342 If you have time, the bread salad is SO WORTH making. You must make a blog post about it if you do go ahead! Btw, if you don't own the Zuni Cafe cookbook, I HIGHLY recommend it. :D Yep, it is like a dry brine (once again, its less messy!)

I so agree about the humble roast chicken, and this cook will be buying a duck for the duck fat to give this a try. Lorraine, you have outdone yourself as that is the most magnificant roast chicken I have ever seen. Okay, I am swooning big time.
