Sunday-best Country Chicken

The recipe for Roast Young Chickens comes from a Santa Fe County, New Mexico, friend. You precook the chickens briefly, cool and freeze them. Then, when you want to have chicken for dinner, you hurry the birds into a hot oven or place them over glowing coals to thaw, finish cooking and brown. You can baste them with barbecue sauce or lemon juice while they cook. Either addition brings out interesting flavors.
