My Best Roast Chicken

 This is my Roast Chicken, I prefer to make in an electric frying pan because the skin comes out nice and flavorful while the chicken stays moist....I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Ingredients:
4lb/2kg Whole CHICKEN, washed and patted dry
1 large ONION, sliced in 8ths
3 gloves GARLIC, peeled
4 large POTATOES, cut in quarters
1-1/2 teaspoon rock/course SALT
1/2 teaspoon PEPPER
1/2 teaspoon PAPRIKA (optional)
1 stick (1/4 lb.) butter
2 tablespoons OIL
This is my Electric frying pan technique you can also roast it in a 350/175 preheated oven for one to one and a half hour until chicken and potatoes are fully cooked.

Pat thawed Chicken with paper towels until completely dry

Blend together Salt, Pepper & Paprika in a bowl

Sprinkle 3/4 of the salt mixture on both sides, reserve 1/4 salt mixture for the potatoes.

Heat Electric frying pan to Med hi heat add Garlic and the Chicken (placed on it's back) in the frying pan.
Cook for 15 minutes.

add potatoes to the pan and add half the onions, sprinkle the salt mixture over them and Cook for another 30 minutes on medium Hi.

when time is up, turn Chicken over and add the rest of the onions, slather the butter over Chicken and potatoes. Cook on Medium heat for another 30 minutes.

after 30 minutes, check if Chicken is fully cooked, if it is still pink cook for another 15 minutes and check again. When it's cooked, take out of frying pan and place into a serving dish cover with foil and let it rest.

Check the potatoes if all are not cooked leave in pan to cook until fork tender another 15 to 20 minutes.

B.B.Q Pork Ribs

2 slabs pork ribs (4 to 5lbs)

BBQ Sauce:

1-1/2 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons Mushroom Soya Sauce
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbl. vinegar

Heat all ingredients in a small pot, until sugar is dissolved (set aside to cool a little)

 season ribs with salt & pepper.

Coat both sides of the ribs with the sauce, saving 2/3 cup for basting.Arrange the ribs, meaty-side up, in 1 layer in a foil-lined baking sheet.

Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake the ribs 1 hour at 350 degrees (180 c). Remove foil, baste with the remaining BBQ sauce and bake the ribs (uncovered) another hour.

Allow the cooked ribs to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

* these are great with any sides, rice, taro, corn anything...my personal favorites are potato salad & coleslaw... Enjoy.. sorry no pics next time I make them I'll post it.
