French Laundry a la Willy

So a week or so ago Pete in PG ( aka Jeff LOL) posted a French Laundry cook that was superb and I knew I needed to do it, so here is my version.

A 4.8 lb Chicken, brined overnight in salt and sugar. In the fridge uncovered all day today to dry out the skin a little. Rutabaga and Carrots along with some frenched onion and some shallots along with Turnip all cut up and in the bottom of the CI 12" with some Baby Red potatoes all dressed with EVOO Kosher and Fresh Ground. Plenty of Rosemary in the vegetables and in the Bird. I went with my favorite Herbs de Provence and EVOO on the bird along with some butter on top.
Cooked in the OTG at 375 for just under two hours.

Excellent looking chicken and veggies Bill!!!! Nice touch adding a pan gravy to it too. What size is that skillet it looks like a monster and did you say yute?
 
Yea Yute John, you know when we were Yutes. LOL

The CI is from my Moms collection she gave me when I moved out on my own. Don't know how old it is but is a well seasoned veteran. It's 12 inches on the bottom inside, 13+ across the rim
