Sometimes you make something once and know that you\u2019ll never try any other version of it; it\u2019s just too perfect to stray from.<\/p>\n
Ina Garten\u2019s chicken stock<\/a> comes to mind. Sure I\u2019ve made variations on it, but this is my base recipe for chicken stock. I\u2019ve seen plenty of chicken stock recipes that look\/sound great, but I can\u2019t bring myself to make them. I\u2019ll always be loyal to Ina\u2019s stock.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is now the case with Spoon Fork Bacon\u2019s<\/em> Boozy Bacon Jam<\/a>. It\u2019s just unreal. Spicy, rich, complex, boozy\u2026 and most importantly, bacony. Oh so wonderfully bacony.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019ve had bacon jam in restaurants before (I\u2019m looking at you<\/em> aged cheddar grilled cheese <\/a>with bacon jam and tomato *insert Homer Simpson drooly noise*), but when I made this version I knew I was sold for life. Once all the bacon jam crostini were gone, it was time to apply this to basically everything else I could think of.<\/p>\n First stop: bacon jam roasted chicken & vegetables.<\/p>\n Check it out, it\u2019s this easy: smear some bacon jam under the skin and on the underside of some bone-in chicken thighs, lay those babies on some chopped veggies and you\u2019re ready to party. The veggies end up swimming in a sea of bacony goodness. Bacony. I can\u2019t say it enough.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Originally, \u00c2\u00a0I made this with onions, potatoes, and carrots for a lazy Sunday supper that needed to be done before The Walking Dead<\/em> came on. (Is that show getting insane or what?!? I LOVE IT.) It was delicious, but I knew for this post I had to step it up by including bacon\u2019s best vegetable friend: the brussels sprout.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now if you\u2019re someone who doesn\u2019t like brussels sprouts and you\u2019re somehow at peace with that (I\u2019m looking at you<\/em> now Patrice\u2026), then I suppose<\/em> you could substitute carrots or some other hearty vegetable. But come on. Brussels sprouts and bacon were just made for each other.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To freshen everything up after their roasting and caramelizing and marrying, I added some lemon juice and parsley.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nBacon Jam Roasted Chicken & Vegetables<\/span><\/h2>\n
