    I've made this dish a couple of times, and the last two times, the bird came out remarkably tough - chewy, in fact.

    https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/97/the-cookbook/471?_=1712761894137

    For the life of me, I can't understand why.

    BUt....

    I have an LG range with a double oven.

    The top oven is the smaller one, and the distance from the heating element to the bottom position of the rack is only about 6 inches.

    In the lower oven, the distance is about 10 inches.

    Is it possible that, using the top oven, it's overcooked?

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      I have a double too and have never noticed that was a factor. Did you do it convection? (My top oven cannot do convection, only the bottom one).

      Other than that, I usually brine chicken before cooking. It did not seem like your cook times were that long. It may have just been the chicken itself.

          Same here. Bottom is the convection.

          No, didn't brine it. But it was really tough...I was shocked.

            Was it a brand you normally buy?

              Local grocer's brand.
