Sorry, not familar with the term "Mad Max" .. can you give me a brief description.
-
you can certainly mad max a large chicken. . .you don't need to ice the breasts though as there isn't the same mass as in a turkey (even a large chicken only weighs around 7 - 8 pounds. . ..
having said this though, when it comes to roaster chickens, i like to either do them one of two ways. ..
1. beer can them.. ...(with tsunami spin is most excellent) at around 375 degrees indirect..
2. in the french style. .. . in a heavy skillet or pan (i use a tin lined copper pan), lay the chicken in the pan breast side up. . ..brush a cold chicken with a lot of melted butter, simply salt and pepper it, then roast it indirect in the egg at around 425 - 450 degrees for about an hour (or until done depending on the size). . ..every 15 minutes or so, take the accumulated butter/fat in the pan and spoon it back over the bird. ..the skin will crisp up till it can crack. ...fantastic. ...when its done. .. remove the bird, put the pan on the stove. ..deglaze the pan with a little white wine, add a little chicken stock, reduce and add a few pads of butter for a nice smooth sauce. ...fantastic!! -
