The Chickeniest

Prepare to be amazed: This bird is so beautifully brown—almost as if lacquered—and so wonderfully moist and full of sweet bourbon depth that it will have you firing up the grill year-round. The best flavor, we’ve found, comes from chickens that have not been injected with salt brine; we like Bell & Evans air-chilled birds.
