1. I job it with a thermometer
put it on top of taters and onions in a pan

cover it with foil

cook at 350 til temp is 180

But I'm a weirdo.

Roast is one of those stupid words ppl use that means different things. Kind of like cook.

:hi:

9. No- I am learning cooking
It always pisses me off when the recipe says.

"roast until done"

"cook until juice is clear"

"add taragon to taste"

there are 100s of these :D

:hi:

you get a bunch of its friends together, get all dressed up in tuxedos, and tell a bunch of funny stories making fun of it. it helps to get really drunk during the event.

14. With style and panache!
:hi:
I use about 350 degree oven, and depending on the size of the chicken (3-4 lbs) for time- figure about 1.5 -2 hours. A five pound bird will take longer...so if you can wiggle the drumstick easily- almost to the point where it comes out of the socket, it's done...and believe me, you want your chicken done.

Cover it with foil or use a covered baking dish, and a liquid of your choice.
Uncover for the final 20 minutes or so to get a brown crispy skin (if that's what you like)

I like to use a mixture of sherry, lime juice, ginger and fresh-ground pepper
...OR...
chablis, thyme, sage, summer savory and fresh-ground pepper.
This second mixture will give your place the most incredible, comfortable homey smell...
while the first smells fresh, bright, exotic, and gonna-be-delicious.

Both of these make for delicious roast chicken...:bounce: and are easy.

17. I get behind a podium, then make crazy fun of him/her.
I love a good roast. Laughing is good for the soul.
