Have you ever roasted a bird in a bag?
Made this tonight. Main reason was that I wanted to test out a cornbread dressing recipe (ie, stuffing cooked outside the bird) in advance of Thanksgiving and I need a main course to go with it. I've roasted turkeys before, but this was the first time with a chicken. Came out really nicely—didn't look as good as in the picture, of course, but the key thing is that Ms1995hoo was impressed. Nice juicy meat. I used paprika instead of the ají colorado stuff and it was fine, though perhaps reduced flavor. Got a bit of smoke from the oven in the first half-hour as well....think I may have to run the steam-clean cycle this week due to the grease spatter from the melting butter.
If anyone is interested in the cornbread dressing recipe I can post it this week (not tonight, I'm typing on my phone). It was really good stuff. Feels like Thanksgiving after dinner with the way it all makes you fart, too.
