Preparation
- Step 1
Remove the pieces of fat inside the chicken. Place the fat with the chicken's liver, the marjoram, tarragon, black olives and brandy in a food processor. Process until all the ingredients are pureed. Remove to a bowl; add salt and pepper to taste.
- Step 2
Wipe the chicken inside and out with a paper towel. With your fingers, separate the breast skin from the meat. Spoon some of the fat mixture under the breast skin.
- Step 3
Place the chicken in a roasting pan. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper and then brush it with the soy sauce. Add three cups of water to the pan and bake in a 375-degree oven for one and one-half hours or until the juices run clear when the thigh is pierced with a fork.
- Step 4
Remove the chicken from the baking pan. Carve the chicken and arrange the pieces on a serving platter. Garnish with parsley sprigs. Pour the cooking liquid in a gravy boat and serve along with the chicken.
