Unfortunately, it is not.

I forgot to take some pics of the actual one that I did. I'm babysitting with some small children and I decided to make a special meal for them. :piesmiley1::eating2:

That looks excellent. I've not done this in years but I would stuff a chicken with dressing, pheasants, too. This looks like a good thing to try.

Since this was bumped up, I have a question that maybe someone can answer: What's the point of putting the aromatic vegetables around the pan? Just to flavor the gravy?

Wouldn't they be a bit crispy at 500 degrees for a half hour?

Otherwise, I love the looks of the recipe!

Personally, I would put the veggies inside the bird. I mix butter, sage, rosemary and thyme and put it under the skin. It just occurred to me that maybe some carrots, onions and potatoes inside the body would be tasty.

As an aside, I fell across my BBQ injector and have been injecting liquid seasonings inside the meat, pre cooking and I am getting much more flavor. Tjiss summer I injected BBQ sauce and it made an amazing difference.

I've done it in a roaster before though. That was before I got the cast iron skillet.

The taste is phenomenal!! Just like a rotisserie chicken!!!! :weber:
