Peking Roast Chicken

http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/8445-roasted-peking-chicken

For my first attempt at Peking Chicken (because why take a chance on a duck the first time at bat?) I chose a simple recipe from the New York Times' recipes site. The result was a juicy, tender chicken, but I just don't think it qualifies as Peking Chicken if you don't have the sauce to go with it. Next time I'll choose a more complex recipe that also includes that gooey, delicious sauce to pour over it after it's carved.

Why am I blogging about chicken?

As winter approaches and my pending trip to Hawaii grows closer, I'll be making quite a lot of diet-friendly chicken dishes, including various whole roasted chicken recipes. So this is really just a way to keep track of them. Feel free to post your favorite chicken recipes, comments, etc.

Let's get our chicken on!
