Original Psycho Chicken

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. 2
   Clean chicken and remove giblets.
3. 3
   Hack chicken all over with the tip of a sharp chef's knife to make gashes.
4. 4
   In a small bowl, mix together thyme, garlic, salt, pepper and vinegar, and slather liberally on chicken, taking care that mixture gets into slits in the meat.
5. 5
   Place chicken on rack in roasting pan and roast about 2 hours until golden and fragrant, basting every twenty or thirty minutes with a splash of wine and any juices in the pan.
6. 6
   Now this is the crucial part, which will make or break the entire dish: If this is cooked properly, your chicken should be running with wonderful juices as you carve.
7. 7
   Dredge each slice of carved meat in those juices before placing on platter-- the juices are loaded with garlic and herb flavor.
