Pimiento cheese may not be one of the typical ingredients you reach for when you’re ready to roast a chicken, but hey—don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. This cooking method produces an insanely succulent, juicy bird with golden-crisp skin. You could also apply the same technique to individual skin-on thighs or breasts, as opposed to roasting the whole chicken. 

Pimiento Cheese Roasted Chicken

(3 1/2 chicken

1 ¼ spicy pimiento cheese

kosher salt

black pepper

Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread pimiento cheese evenly under skin and over breasts and thighs of chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.


Place on a lightly greased rack set in a rimmed baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion of thigh registers 165°F, about 55 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.


I'm rating this recipe the way I'd do the measurements. 1 1/4 cups pimiento cheese, 1 tsp. salt or to taste, 1/4 tsp. black pepper or to taste. Can't wait to try this different way of roasting a whole chicken! Happy cooking from the Bluegrass state of Kentucky! :)

Ok, so read the recipe. Think about how much cheese you can stuff under the skin of your chicken and go from there. Even if there was a unit given, I would go by "feel" anyway. Deems like more than tablespoons, less than cups. Also depends on the size if the chicken.

If Ann found this yummy, she is very lucky in guessing quantities.Seriously the measures are not given

1-1/4 what of pimento cheese?  Cups, teaspoons, tablespoons?  Certainly isn't my Mom's pimento cheese which I have been making for 60 years (just whipped up a batch). Everyone who has this proclaimes it the best they have ever eaten.  Ladies I know beg me to make them some and I do.

Yum yum yummy oh my. This is a great idea!!  I cook so I estimated the measurements and it wasn’t too difficult to do that.  This chicken was amazing. Adding to favorites

It's probably a great recipe. Unfortunately the webpage recipe does not include amounts of the ingredients - cups? tablespoons? teaspoons? Where were the proofreaders before the recipe was e-published?

Looks intriguing, but what is the correct measurement for the pimiento cheese:1 1/4 cup, pint, quart, gallon?
