Butter chicken for Toby

Toby is here!  I say that as if everyone already knows who he is and the sad thing is that if you don't know him you probably know someone who does.  Toby came to visit us with his friend Charlie on his road trip from Colorado back to the Bay Area.  Toby is an artistic soul, a master in all forms of creativity (check his site www.mynameistobias.com) including cooking, so I felt I had to come correct with him as my guest.  The  hubs and I are pretty much vegan but we never subject our guests to our eating choices so tonight I experimented with a new method of cooking chicken, oh man...so good.  I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it because as soon as it was out of the oven the man was home from work and ready to eat.  But never fear, dear Tobias snapped a pic for instagram that I have stolen, it doesn't look delicious and the plate is not beautiful but please believe it was fan-freakin-tastic.

What I used:
12 drumsticks
Table salt
Olive oil
1 stick of salted butter
1 sprig of rosemary
Any seasoning blend you like *my favorite, sent to us from my brother & sister-in-law in Baltimore*
Heavy pot or pan with lid, i used this.
Baking sheet

Please note, I do not measure anything and I do not look at times so everything is a guesstimation.
-Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
1. Throw the drumsticks in a tupperware container full of salt water and stick it in the freezer to chill out. The salt water keeps the chicken from being bloody when it fries and I find that once the cold chicken hits the hot oil it seals the moisture in better. *I did this about 20 minutes before step 2 but the longer the better*
2. In the pot I put 1TBS. of olive oil and 4TBS. of butter on medium-high heat.
3.  Once the butter started bubbling I took the chicken out of the freezer, rinsed and seasoned it.  I then placed the drumsticks into the pot allowing them to brown on all sides.
4.  After all of the pieces were browned I placed them on a baking sheet and poured the remaining butter mixture from the pot on top of the chicken.
5. I popped the baking sheet in the oven at 350 for 15 mins  I then turned the pieces over and  upped the heat to 400 for 5-10 mins and when the skin began peeling back off of the legs and the pieces appeared to be done I broiled them for a little under 5 mins until they were crispy looking.

The chicken was so juicy and would be delicious with a sweet glaze afterwards, I'll be trying that next time.
