Chicken: You’ll need a whole chicken. Mine was 5 pounds, but this recipe will work fine with any size. The cook time will vary depending on the weight, though. Butter – Make sure it’s unsalted (because we’re salting the chicken separately), and softened at room temperature (so that you can mash it easily). Herbs – I used fresh parsley and my 5-minute Italian seasoning blend, but store-bought works, too. Feel free to use any fresh or dried herbs you like here....

Most days it’s the only thing that gets me out of bed, but in the spring, my tolerance for morning improves quite a bit. I’m never what you’d call a morning person, but some early daylight definitely helps get me moving, and even sometimes even taking on morning projects as ambitious as a vegan omelet, tempeh benedict, or in this case, vegan buckwheat pancakes....
