I erred. Methanol hasn't been used for decades (except as a stop gap
measure such as using windshield washer fluid when you are out of
proper antifreeze), as the alcohol boils off quickly. Ethylene glycol
is commonly used. And a 50/50 mixture only protects down to -37 C.
60/40 is recommended here which is good down to -52 C.

 GJ> Of course you should have!

 GJ> And you could keep some emergency food in the car.

I do that during winter when I leave the city limits. Also candles.
But I don't need all that to make the 3.4 km trip from the Hay River
airport to downtown.

     Title: Roasted Chicken Breasts With Orange, Cardamom And Turmeric
Categories: Chicken, Spices, Indian, American, Fusion
  Servings: 4

      6    red potatoes; peeled, sliced
    1/4    -inch thick
           Extra-virgin olive oil
           Kosher salt and freshly
           ground black pepper
      1 TB unsalted butter; softened
      1    shallot; finely minced
      2    clove garlic; finely minced
      3    cardamom pods; husks removed
           and seeds pulverized
      1    orange; zested and juiced
      1 ts ground turmeric
    1/4 ts garam masala
      2    bone-in chicken breasts with
           skin

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

In the bottom of a foil-lined broiler pan, toss the potato slices
with a generous drizzle of olive oil and some salt and pepper, to
taste.

In a small bowl, stir together the butter, shallots, garlic,
cardamom, orange zest, orange juice, turmeric, garam masala and salt
and pepper, to taste. Separate the skin from chicken flesh using
your index finger, moving it back and forth. Do not remove the skin
completely, just make a pocket. Spoon half of the butter mixture
under skin of 1 breast, smoothing it out with your index finger.
Repeat with other chicken breast.

Put a rack over the potatoes in the broiler pan and arrange the
chicken on the rack. Roast until the chicken registers 160 degrees F
on an instant-read thermometer, and the potatoes are tender. Remove
from the oven and transfer the chicken and potatoes to a serving
platter. Allow to rest for 5 minutes then serve.
