While I liked that method, I LOVED that high temps meant having a finished chicken in less than an hour. So, I tried T. Keller's method (wet brine and high heat), I was sold. I also believe the free range organic birds have less fat, and therefore cook more quickly, and respond better to the high heat roast.
