Zuni Roast Chicken with Bread Salad

Again, I'm behind with my post...  As much as I love cooking and taking the photos, it just seems that the posting part gets away from me...  I spend all day on a computer at work, and by the time I get home, staring at a computer screen is the last thing I want to do...  So today...I decided to do my blog at work!  :-)  Just kidding...or am I...????

My recipe this week came from the book Ten: All the Foods We Love and Ten Perfect Recipes for Each by Sheila Lukins.  I really love the concept behind this book, but must admit I was a bit scared when I pulled it off the shelf, because there is a crown roast on the front cover, and from what I hear, those aren't cheap!

Regardless...the recipe I did this week was Zuni Roast Chicken.  According to the book, this recipe came from a restaurant, and is the juiciest chicken ever; I promise--it didn't disappoint.  I started by preparing the whole chicken by patting it dry, sticking some sage and thyme under the skin near the breasts and thigh (and I added some dill and basil that a coworker gave me from her herb garden; so fresh!!!), and then generously coating the outside with coarse salt and black pepper.
