Good Southern Food

I cooked a meal tonight Chicken in my Clay roaster ."When using a clay roaster You must soak the clay in water before using it, and you must put it in a cold oven, so it heats up with the oven." I started with a Chicken washed it, coated it with Lemon Juice, put softened butter on and in it, aded some garlic, added carrots and I baked at 400f for 90 minutes, Now i turned up the heat to 450f for another 40 minutes, untill i got a 190f internal temp on my chicken, , now dont that look good
, Now a good pair of professional grade tongs come in handy , Carve the beast and it will look like this, , and all you should have left should be . Also Took some red skinned potatos, boiled them, , Drained and cut them up a little, added some Mustard, some Mayo, some Butter, and Mrs Dash , stird and it was sorta like a german potato salad , had corn , some rolls, the clay lid makes a great roll warmer!, Made a Pinapple Dump cake for dessert,
1 pkg. yellow cake mix "or two Jiffy"
2 sticks butter "unsalted"
1 can crushed pineapple
Pour pineapple into oblong cake pan; spread evenly. Sprinkle dry cake
mix over pineapple. Cover with melted butter. " let it sit for a while at room temp, before you bake, makes it chewy" You can add pecans
or coconut, "i added walnuts and coconut" . Bake at
350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
