Testing Thanksgiving Recipes - Bacon and Compound Butter Marinaded Baked Chicken



















Okay Bacon again - there's a theme here and guess who was kind of bossy about the recipe selection - ooops!  Me - bad!  Fudging the ingredients a little bit - this was the attempt to test this on Turkey Day.  So I apoligize for the randomness of the below recipe.  However, it was really lip-smacking good.

Stick of Butter
Bacon  (Enough to create a latticed or braided cover for Turkey or Chicken Size)
Olive Oil
Rosemary
Thyme
Garlic

Combine butter, oil and herbs into a compound butter mix.  Rub inside the skin and allover the outside of the skin.

Lattice/Braid complete bacon to cover the entire exterior of the chicken or turkey.  The lattice is to keep all the bacon together and not have it fall off while cooking.

Bake the chicken for an hour ( will have to be modified timing for Turkey) and then cover with foil until bacon gets crisp.
