COMPLETELY different to lucysmam, How do I ACTUALLY do a roast dinner??

[TrinityRhino]

I have a chicken
potatoes
carrots
broccolli
gravy powder
yorkshires
stuffing

I have no bay leaf, onions, lemons, faffy pther shite
I just put lots of salt on

BUT I have a raw food phobia, a panic about chicken being cooked and seemingly no sense of timing

We want it for teatime
WHen do I out it in??
when do I do the pots??
the veg, how do you get it all ready?

I ahve done it three time before and everytime someone else is helping me and I still panic and rush at the end and hope to god everything is ready at once

hold my hand pleeeeeease

Been away panic tidying pottering so that DH doesn't know think that I have been idle while he is out with shouty DD.

How's it going?

Need any advice on the roasties, and what time are you planning to eat?

no idea when we will be eatin??

few questions

how long do you boil the tatties for par boiling?

shall I take the foil off the chicken??

When shall OI pout thwe stuffing in???

chicken has been in with foil on since 3

it is a 1.5kg one

I never use foil, but you should take yours off for the final 20-30 minutes to get a golden colour.

I usually do my chickens for about 1.5 hours total.

I don't use stuffing, but if I did, I would cook it separately from the chicken. That's what I do at Christmas with my turkey.

Potatoes are parboiled for 10 minutes and then put in with the roast for about 45 (looks like you have missed the boat there).

bugger bollocks and shite

I so want to be able to do this grrrr

You can always have mash and save the roasties till next time.

Chicken

1 turn oven on to Gas 5

2 rub salt and oil oilve on skin

3 stick in oven until legs fall of when touched (bout 2hrs).

Potatoes

Boil for about 10 mins then roast in oven for about 1hr to 1hr and half.

Stuffing cooks for about 30mins. take foil of to brown skin.

I would think is cooked by now.

You cook stuffing? I just leave mine to stand for 10 mins.

There are different types of stuffing, Pea.

well it has to stay in now till tatties are done

humph damnit

what? You mean other than paxo?

Nonsense woman.

no I just buy oaxo sage and onion stufing, mix it with boiling water and then out in dish in oven for about 20 mins

what is real stuffing??

Something with sausagemeat.

oh you mean you do the mix bit with boiling water but then you dont put it in the oven

but then its not crispy

I've made stuffing from mushrooms, pinenuts, garlic, some other stuff and an egg before. Wanted to be able to stuff the chicken and have vegetarian stuffing balls

Nah, I don't actually like crispy stuffing. Dries it out too much for my liking.

fairy nuff

sorry - had to post and run as DH got home with shouty thing.

It must be cooked now from when you put it in (3ish)

Have you done the tatties?

everything looks right on the cuso of being done
chicken is now looking crispy and all juices running clear, tatties are looking scrummy and crispy

yorkshires are rising and looking good and stuffing is done I reckon
juts boiling the carrots and then the broccolli will be quickly steamed in a min

I have never served up chicken to my kids without someon else being here to verify that it is ,in fact, cooked

It is done

Is that OK?

thanks norma

me and the kids have eaten it, was luuurverly

dh not back from work yet but his in the microwave covered copiously with foil

that will be fine wont it

it may not be as tasty after nuking but it will be safe wont it wont it???????

Excellent! Well done!

it will be fine

We had lovely roast as well - but you would not have liked it

bloody beef - rare

with DD shouting more more gravy more

hehe
