Harper Kincaid!

  Remember at the beginning of quarantine when we were all stuck at home, and a bunch of people decided this was the perfect time to try out all those delicious, intricate, inspired-by-IKEA-assembly instructions recipes?

They took photos. They started vlogs on YouTube. They bombarded us with their live demos via Insta or Facebook stories.

Well, this post isn’t for them. 

I’m here for the rest of you, the ones who adore good food, appreciate quality ingredients, but would rather read a juicy cozy than toil over a hot stove in July. On that note, allow me to introduce myself: my name is Harper Kincaid, and while I’ve been an author for a while, To Kill a Mocking Girl is my debut cozy – and I am tickled hot pink to be here on this blog, with such illustrious company.

In TKAMG, books are Quinn Caine’s obsession, but food is a close second. And one of the recipes I’ve included is something I conjured many years ago, when I was a young-ish bride and looking to learn how to cook. I always have music playing in the background, so when the song, Scarborough Fair came on the radio, I had a Eureka moment: parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme would make a great chicken rub. Alas, this recipe was born…

Simon & Garfunkel Roast Chicken

1            organic chicken, cut into pieces OR

4-6       chicken quarters (legs & thighs attached, skin on)

2          tablespoons fresh parsley

2          tablespoons dried sage

2          tablespoons fresh ground rosemary

2          tablespoons dried thyme

            olive oil spray

            salt and pepper to taste

6          pats unsalted butter

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cover a flat cooking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with olive oil spray. Pat down chicken until dry and place on cooking sheet or baking dish.

Take each pat of butter and rub into the skin of each piece (each gets its own pat of butter).

Now, most fresh rosemary comes in sprigs. I suggest you take the leaves off the stems and grind them until fine. I use a coffee grinder, but you can be fancy and go old school with a mortar and pestle.

Mix fresh ground rosemary with your thyme, parsley and sage, salt and pepper. Make sure you dice the parsley first. Now sprinkle your food glitter all over those awaiting chickens-or over whole chicken! Cook in the oven until the skins turn golden brown and bubbly and the juices run clear when poked with a fork. See? Easy and delicious!

Okay, okay, so these are just with the legs. That’s the only photo I had!

Here’s one whole – yum, right?
