Ingredients

Ramen noodles.

THE CHICKEN:

1 whole chicken, "guts" reserved.

Sun dried tomato packed in olive oil. oil reserved.

Salt

Pepper

1 lemon

1 small bunch fresh sage

1 small bunch fresh rosemary

THE VEGGIES

1 large onion

A few carrots

A few turnips

A little celery

A few potatoes

1 can of chicken broth

a little water

Salt

Pepper

1 lobotomy

Directions

Preheat oven to 425F

Practice saying “Mmmmm, food” like Homer Simpson would.

Wash chicken, pat dry, reserve guts.

Put guts in sauce pan with a little water and gently boil for use in yummy gravy. Think “Mmmm gravy!.”

Cut up veggies into roasting pan, add chicken stock then season lightly and anticipate the concentrated flavors of roasted fresh veggies. Think “Mmmmm roast veggies.”

Season cavity of chicken with salt and pepper.

Slice lemon in half and squeeze a small amount of juice under the skin of the breast.

Insert the lemon halves and herb bunches into the cavity.

Taste some of the sun dried tomatoes, Think “Mmmm, sun dried tomatoes!”, then liberally stuff some under skin of the chicken, and imagine how good this will be.

Rub the reserved sun dried tomato infused oil on the skin of the chicken season to taste with salt and pepper, and imagine the golden brown bird emerging from the oven. Think “Mmmmm, roast chicken”.

Put the pan of veggies on a low rack of the oven, and the chicken directly on a rack above the veggie pan so the juices will drip onto the veggies, and the combined concentrated juices of chicken and veggies can be used in the yummy gravy. “Mmmmm, roast dinners”.

Close the oven door and talk some smack to your spouse about this being the best dinner they ever have or ever will consume in their life from the moment of conception to the end of all eternity.

Cook the goods in the oven until they are the consistency of hard black little charcoal briquettes.

Throw it all in the garbage and make some ramen noodles. “Mmmm, ramen noodles”

Eat the ramen noodles, the bonus here being the “chef” gets to eat a little crow also.

SUBSTITUTION #1:

Ramen noodles.

SUBSTITUTION #2:

Skip the ramen noodles and don't incinerate dinner. This recipe has to be good.

When you say "guts", we country folk think "intestines filled with poop, lung, gallbladder, etc". Are you meaning the giblets, or really the guts?? Even being a backwoods hillbilly, I can't imagine using the "guts", unless you were cleaning an intestine thoroughly and using it for a sausage casing--something you never do with chickens; or possibly, chitterlings (or in the vernacular, "chitlins") if you get them from pigs. However, not a one of us would think of throwing away the giblets.

Please clarify, or I would definitely have to have a lobotomy to eat this. If "guts" means giblets, then this sounds wonderful--providing you skip the ramen & briquettes route!

By the way, is that your picture AFTER the lobotomy?? Or did you have one too many wassails?
