Hi all.
I am not very rich money-wise.
I have a whole chicken (100% whole) and I have some asshole relatives coming for dinner.
Question is: how do I make a boujee chicken (as in: to appear boujee but to be very cheap in reality).
So I want them to develop ulcers from jealousy because of my boujee chicken but I don't want to sell my kidneys.

Cut the chicken down the back and press it down to flatten it. Chop up garlic. Add it to some butter and stir it together with whatever other spices you like. Put this buttter spice garlic compound under the skin and all over the chicken. Roast the chicken until it's done.

Bojangles I guess.
Dumb zoomer slang.

I thought it stood for Bojina - like a bow-legged woman's vagina?

Cover it in burnt pubic hair and microwave it until the juices run light pink. Serve over a bed of cornflakes wetted with tears and spit.

Roast whole chicken is actually one of the hardest things to get right as a home cook. It's one of those things you have to practice and fuck up a lot before you get good at it. As other anons have said spatchcocking the chicken is one way to make it Bojangles. I'd look up an ATK or Kenji roast chicken video.

Whole roast chicken was the first dish I taught my gf to cook because it's so easy it's impossible to fuck up, but looks like it actually took effort. It's the ideal dish to get a retard's confidence up in the kitchen.

Post recipes. The difficulty with roast chicken is the different parts come to temp at different times. It's hard to get the whole thing tender and juicy with no overcooked white meat.

Just put it in a glass or ceramic baking dish with a little water in it
The surface area of the pan combined with the direct heat of the water will cook the dark meat faster than the breast
Pre-heat the oven to 425 and immediately after putting the chicken in the oven turn it down to 375
If it's a bigger chicken turn it down to 325 after 20-30 minutes
If it's on the small side turn it down to 325 after 10-15 minutes
Pull it when the thigh hits about 155 but you don't really need a thermometer if it's looking pretty delicious it's probably done
I mostly only use a thermometer when I'm using a dark glaze or rub and you can't tell by eye

You don't, but there isn't a lot of back meat that suffers for it
Then you can take the chicken water, bones, add some aromatics, and roast it for stock
Most people go for the breast anyway, which leaves the rest for chicken salad sandwiches or soup or whatever, you don't want skin in that anyway

FWIW if you want bougie chicken, keep it simple but make it exotic, like season it with sumac and serve it with lemon zest and grilled lemon halves
Or something like a soy reduction mixed with miso and sugar for a rub
Orange zest and anchovy is baller, but you'll need a shitload of oranges (you can serve it with gin and juice I suppose, or whatever the Champagne drink I forg--mimosa, NVM)
You don't need, or even want, a bunch of different flavors for fancy foods, you want the foods to stand out by themselves
Complex foods like barbecue and curry are fun but not always fine dining

Oh and I forgot to say, salt it by weight about 1.2-1.3 percent in advance for a dry brine, two hours is adequate at room temp if the chicken is cold, otherwise, like, 4-5 hours in the fridge
A good amount of the salt should go in the cavities

This is a fussy recipe. All the brining and temp changes and the unusual ingredients like miso and sumac and orange zest and anchovies are quite complex for a simple roast chicken. I wouldn't call a recipe like that easy. And if a roast chicken is so easy and impossible to fuck up then why so many steps?

It's winter. Orange anchovy or miso makes the most sense if trying to be seasonal, savory. With roasted root vegetables or brussel sprouts.
Sumac and grilled lemon sounds best, but those are sharp and bright so it's a spring dish.

>boujee
Alright fellas. It's etymologically related to bourgeoisie and blacks created the word because they could neither pronounce nor spell the original. English did it's thing and the word evolved further just to mean - something (trashy) people find fancy. People that use the word unironically are usually black, white trash, etc.
