Braised Chicken a.k.a. Beer Butt w/o the Beer

Used the Emile Henry FLAME® Chicken Braiser  to prepare this HyVee BARE chicken (free range) last weekend.  They come 'chilled'  and never frozen and actually were cheaper this week than 'regular' whole chickens. 

FLAME® is Emile Henry's newest innovation in ceramic technology. Designed to work on the barbeque, (gas, charcoal, natural wood or electric cooking), in the oven, and under the broiler at temperatures up to 750° F (400 C). The Emile Henry Chicken Roaster is designed to hold up to an 8lb chicken with room to put potatoes and vegetables around the chicken at the base to soak up the delicious juices.

• Juicy Chicken = reduced fat
• Retains heat, cooks from inside out
• Pouring spout
• Basin collects juice or offers room for roasting vegetables

Perfect for all roasted chicken, turkey, Cornish hen, duck, and boneless roast dishes. Made of ceramic, the chicken roaster will cook your chicken more efficiently as the ceramic will maintain heat and cook from the inside as well.
