Wonderful whole air dried chicken dinner ... WOW

1.Chicken sauteing
2.In the oven with
the potatoes and mushrooms
Wow I am a happy person tonight.  I went to Whole Foods today and picked up a whole air dried chicken.  The butcher halved it for me so I would have the bird flattened out.  I sauteed it first with just salt, pepper, and some sweet paprika on it.  I threw a few cloves into the pan with olive oil and put the bird in.  I seared it on one side and then added about 1/2 cup of dry white wine and let it simmer for a minute or so then I put it into an oven at 500 degrees for about 15 minutes then turned it down to 350.  I didn't cover it, just put the frying pan in with the bird.  I added some whole mushrooms and some fingerling yukon gold potatoes and let it roast until the chicken reached 160 degrees at the thickest part.
I had some broccoli left, so I steamed it up and then sauteed it for a minute with some of the chicken juice, cooked up a small amount of fresh cranberries and served it up.  WOWZA that chicken is so much juicier than any other chicken I have ever bought.  The air drying holds the moisture into the chicken.  It does cost about a dollar a pound more than a regular chicken, but it wasn't terrible.  It cost about 8.00 and I will have at least 5 servings on this chicken.  That's pretty reasonable.  The flavor of the chicken from the paprika and the white wine is amazing.....do try it.
