Ingredients:

1 whole Fryer Chicken around 4 lbs

Brine:
1 gallon water
1/2 cup Kosher salt
1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar or honey

Seasoning:
1 recipe Bräthanchengewürtz
means roast chicken spice

For Adhesion:
1 teaspoon flour or cornstarch
1/4 cup olive oil

Suppengrün
1 cup Leeks cut in strips
1 cup Celery root cut in strips
1 cup Carrots cut in strips

Directions:

I brine the chicken first .
Make the brine by bringing half a gallon of water to a boil then add the salt and sugar and dissolve. Add the remaining 2 quarts and let it cool. Put in a bowl and add the chicken. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and place in fridge for 24 hours. Even if you only have a few hours it is worth it to brine the chicken.
keep on counter and add a few ice cubes.

Make your Brathanchengewurtz to your liking.
Brat = roast , Hahnchen = small chicken and Gewürtz = spice seasoning
You can find many different recipes for it on the web so I provided a basic recipe and you
can add what ever you want.

Add the flour and oil and mix. The flour helps to give it body and adhear to the chicken.

Take the chicken from the brine and dry it well.
Brush this on the inside of the chicken with the spice mix and then on the chicken.

I prefer to roast slow when I can. I feel more flavors are developed and a
more thourough roasting takes place.
