Reversed Seared Roast Chicken

When I think of Shabbat, I think about beautiful but simple meals, and nothing really exemplifies that more than a whole roast chicken.

The problem is that I've never been able to get my roast chickens to come out brown with crispy skin and also be fully cooked properly.

The closest I've gotten before here is the Marcella Hazan two-lemon chicken recipe.

This is a bit more elaborate but...it looks incredible, so I'm sharing it here.

I haven't tried it yet but I want to!

If I ate meat, I'd be thankful for this recipe. I really like rotisserie chicken and such. My Shabbat usually involves a fresh baked challah and a warm vegetable stew.

Can Rugela post images? Maybe I should post my challah at some point.

Rugela doesn't have image posts yet. I hope to get that feature in the next month or so.

I've thought of reintroducing "regular" food to my diet, not because of health reasons, but because of the social isolation that having a special diet creates. Just as kosher food separates Jews and non-Jews to some extent, so does vegan food separate vegans from the rest of the community. Hillel said "Do not separate yourself from the community."

Maybe I could eat plant-based at home but eat whatever everyone else is eating in shared environments. I don't know. It's just really lonely out here and it's getting to me. I worry what this would do to my health, however.
