Roast Chicken with Laurel: "A Stand-Up Chicken"

Today I am joining Laurel Brandstetter in her kitchen in Nyack, NY. It’s a busy place that is home to her 18-month-old daughter, magician husband, and her global accessories brand, Mar Y Sol, which she runs from her third floor. Laurel wants to learn how to roast a chicken, despite being squeamish about having to deal with the honesty of a whole, raw bird. But it is that good feeling that comes from serving up a well-roasted chicken that inspired her to move past that and embrace the challenge. Listen in.
