Roast Chicken!

You should be super jealous right now.
  This was the first chicken that I've ever roasted.  And it was A.W.E.some!  We went to the Grandin Village Community Market today.  It was the first day that they had fresh, local, and hormone free chicken!  David and I were up at about 7:30 (Why?!) and decided to walk down with the puppy dog and grab one.  It was more expensive than at the K-roger but after eating it we feel like it was totally worth it!
I didn't take any process pictures because Thomas Keller's recipe is all over the internets.   I cooked it over zucchini, squash, red onion, and mushrooms.  The veggies were mushy and flavorful (just the way David likes them!). 

The veggies were from the Grandin Co-op so, except for the Jiffy Corn bread, it was all local!  The skin of the chicken was crispy and awesome.  I can't wait to have chicken sandwiches and chicken salad!  We have tons of food left over and will have lunch until we leave on Thursday for Ohio!
