So we wanted to change the meal up today and keep things simple….. we sent with a Capon that was about 11 lbs…..
I wet brined it for 36 hours, then fridge dried it for 2 and 1 hour on the counter before seasoning it with kinders buttery steak….
The cook plan was 335 for 2.5 hours…. On the RT1250….i did do my partial backbone removal to allow for airflow through the cavity…
An hour in I rotated it and foil covered the wings as they were getting a lot of color….
I kept rotating it to keep the skin roasting nicely and even foil skirted it to help the top get nice and roasted…..this skirting thing is what Mrs Civil does on her pies to keep the edges from burning…..
Done resting and ready to slice……man oh man pure smiles here!!!!! Oh my new trick is to have and inset cutting board over a stainless racked sheet pan…..this keeps the juices in the pan and not over the counter….
And now the simple plate…..the salad replaced other veg sides….
Spinach apple balsamic salad….Mrs C knocks this out of the park!!!
As always the money shot!!!
The fam really enjoyed the simple spread this year and they rather liked the capon, it is a juicy velvety bird for sure!
