Roast Chicken and Acorn Squash





This post really doesn't require a recipe. It is pretty simple.


We took a whole chicken and seasoned it with butter and a turkey rub that I sell for Watkins. We also added a little salt. We place the seasoning under the skin of the chicken with some butter and also place the seasoning and butter all over the outside of the chicken. We roasted the chicken for about an hour and a half. The time depends on the size of the bird.


For the acorn squash, we cut them open and scooped out the seeds. Then placed them cut side down in a 9 x 13 inch pan with a little water in the bottom of them. These roasted for about an hour. After the hour, we flipped them over and added some butter to the hole in the middle of the squash as well as some brown sugar. They went back into the oven while we made some gravy for the chicken. This is my favorite fall vegetable!


For the gravy we just added some cornstarch mixed with some water. We also added a chicken bouillon cube and cooked it until the gravy had thickened.


It was a very easy meal that was very tasty.
