Poulet en cocotte (3)

Poulet en cocotte, encore une fois

This is my second time making this chicken in a pot. I made a few changes from the last time, and it totally paid off in taste.

Since the electricity price hike (5.9%) was announced last September (this was after a price increase of 14.8% the previous year), I've been using less of the oven for cooking. In fact, from when the price increase came into effect till the end of 2012, I only turned on the oven around five times, four of which were for baking a cake. Though I quite like and have got very accustomed to cooking with my trusty sauté pan and griddle, one thing I do miss sometimes is a good roast chicken.
