Easy Roasted Chicken
Chef Jeff Mahin shares a chicken recipe that anybody can make and should make.
Jeff Mahin might be the the chef/partner/wunderkind behind places like Stella Barra Pizzeria,M Street Kitchen, and Summer House Santa Monica, but he's really just like you: He likes to get home and just cook something that's easy and awesome after a long day at the office. Of course, his office is a kitchen, so you know he isn't going to play around even when making something that could be considered simple to make, and this chicken that you can toss in a Dutch oven and make in under an hour is as great and easy as it gets.
