EASY ITALIAN CHICKEN & FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• 3. In the meantime, prepare potatoes. Clean potatoes, & cut in one inch wedges, leaving skin intact. (Need those awesome vitamins!!) Add olive oil to large skillet & heat over medium high heat. Add potatoes. Cook for 15 minutes, turning frequently to brown on all sides.
• 4. When potatoes are halfway done, add Italian dressing, minced garlic, onions, & your fresh herbs. Add salt & pepper to taste. Continue to cook over medium heat, turning frequently. I cover during this process to help the potatoes cook all the way through. Continue to cook until potatoes are cooked all the way through.
• 5. While the potatoes are cooking, heat EVOO on medium heat in another large skillet. Add chicken, marinade, & minced garlic. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Cook 5-7 minutes each side depending on thickness of breast. Add fresh herbs the last couple minutes. I used fresh rosemary in this dish.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Wash the capon (actually a castrated male chicken) under cold running water, and soak for 1 hour in a pan of cold water in which 1/4 cup kosher salt has been dissolved. Drain and rinse again, using paper toweling to dry the bird inside and out.
• Season the capon inside and out with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Put half the rosemary and thyme and all of the chopped garlic inside the cavity of the capon, along with some of the onion, carrot and celery. Tie the legs of the capon together to aid in even roasting and place, breast side down in a roasting pan. Rub the remaining herbs on the outside of the capon, drizzle all the olive oil over the capon, scattering the rest of the vegetables (except the potatoes) in the pan along with the capon. Place the roasting pan into the oven and roast the capon for 20 minutes on its breast, before turning onto its back for an additional 20 minutes. When the capon has roasted for 20 minutes on its back, add the potatoes and continue roasting for an additional hour or until the bird is thoroughly cooked (a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees F at the leg joint). Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and remove from the oven, allowing the capon to rest for 15 minutes before serving.

• 1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. (this can be done on a grill as well, med-high grill). Place the sausages and the potatoes in a large pan or roaster, and transfer to the oven or grill.

Use large roasting pan. Larger than a 9x13. I buy those foil throw away pans.
• 2. Roast or grill them , turning the food several times for 30 minutes or until they have begun to brown.
• 3. Add the peppers, onions, mushrooms and herbs to the pan. Add a little more vegetable oil, a couple of Tablespoons. Roast or grill 45 to 60 minutes more. Check and turn occasionally until potatoes are brown and tender. Check that the potatoes are done. Ovens vary so it can take longer for some. I put a Tablespoon of mustard on my plate to dip the sausage in. I salt and pepper it also. Enjoy with your favorite condiment. Enjoy! Great company dish :)

To this day some of the decendants still celebrate Emancipation day. The town has been designated a National Historic Site, however the towns future is in doubt. But for many who still live there, the last weekend in July still means "home to Nicodemus" for Emancipation Days.
