Is there anything better than walking half the length of Central Park with an old friend on a classic April afternoon? Short answer: No.
Ron and I were neighbors in San Francisco in the late '70s. We lived in matching one bedroom apartments at the corner of Union and Webster in the city's Cow Hollow neighborhood when a spacious place just north of Pacific Heights went for a measly $350 a month. (Sweet!)
Ron made the best chicken dinners I've ever tasted and today he shared his recipe. His tips? Slow cook a butterflied bird (tented with aluminum foil) at 250 f. for a few hours, finishing it off at 375 f. for 20 minutes. Baste with butter and lemon juice throughout the process. Use one of those old enamel grandmother pans for best effect.
That is all.
