One of the easiest recipes to make is roasted chicken. We eat chicken several times per week and there is always a day for roasting. This porcini recipe is so brilliantly flavored and is easy to pull together. A little bit of dried porcini, ground into a powder complimented the fresh sage, thyme and garlic. What I like about this roast is that there is no overnight marinating required. A couple of hours in the fridge after seasoning coupled with a slow roast is the perfect combination that brings out the mouthwatering flavors. It’s also juicy and tender. I like to serve with simple roasted or sautéed vegetables. I hope you will try this recipe and enjoy it as much as we do. Happy Cooking!
