A Few Notes

Use a thermometer: 71°C / 160°F in the thickest part is cooked.

If the skin browns too fast, tent it with foil again.

Slice across the grain for tender portions.

If You're Missing Something

• An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the stand-in usually given when you are out of fresh garlic; it will not brown the same way, and it burns easily, so add it with the liquid.

Storing and Reheating

Keeps for 3 days in the fridge. Slice before storing and reheat gently with a splash of stock.
