I LOVED this. Really surprised, too. Fantastic flavors. I did double up on the garlic and the ginger, but that's just my preference.

Oh this looks fantastic, thank you! I will have to...

Commenter with chickens: How about trying a google search (the food blog search box in my sidebar is a good start)? Or one of the countless recipe sources online like epicurious.

Sorry to post here, but I don't have outlook.....

Sorry to post here, but I don't have outlook... Help, please. I am a farmer of very fine french chickens, fattened on whole grains and fresh raw buttermilk, much like the bresse chicken. It's mostly a hobby because I moved back to my southern hometown after having a fabulous career of travel on expense account, and miss good food.
Yes, I love food but cannot cook. So I do some high-done meats and then find a chef. My favoite french master chef in town is not open on sundays, so I found another well reviewed restaurant that is open on sundays in an artsy district of town, and will cook and serve my chickens on sunday nights. Upper end bistro, classically trained chef speciallizing in south carolina coastal tastes.
It's an uppper end bistro type place in with a nice, few jeans kind of place. Anyway, what I want are 3 recipes you would use if someone were to come give you some exudiative 2 lb chickens to roast whole for Sunday dinner. This guy is hit and miss on my total satisfaction, so I'd like to present him with the tastes I want instead of an unsatisfying suprise...
Sorry to ramble, but more succintly the help I need is this:
I need 3 "flavorful" recipes that you would use to roast a 2lb chicken that will serve 2 for $25, and then say, "Damn, honey, that was delicious. I'm so glad we got up and out of the house tonight!"

I can't get enough of recipes like these that ...

I can't get enough of recipes like these that are healthy, simple and inexpensive. And it's the kind of recipe that we'd make in huge batches too.

After all, it's only a tiny bit more work to make a double batch of an easy soup, and yet you get twice as much food. Love it. Thank you for sharing Julie!
