The chicken had a lot of flavor and was very moist. 20 minutes after flipping my 3 1/2 pound chicken it was only about 125 degrees in the thigh. It took another 25 minutes at 350 to reach 165 degrees. The final product was worth the effort, though.

I'm not a fan of black-eyed peas, but my wife is Southern and I wanted her to fulfill her New Year's requirement. This soup is incredibly delicious. I did substitute beef broth for the water / bouillon and I left out the chilies, otherwise I stayed true to the recipe. The Ro-Tel tomatoes brought the perfect amount of heat for us. This soup is very meaty and the black-eyed peas play a supporting role, bringing a pleasant complexity to the flavor. If you really like them I think that you could easily add another can without overwhelming the soup. I made Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread to go with it. Tomorrow's leftovers will be with rice. I can hardly wait.

This was my first attempt at making noodles and this was the recipe I was hoping for. They were easy to make and a breeze to roll out. The flavor was great and reminded of the noodles of my youth. I look forward to making these again.
