Don’t Cook Your Turkey in a Roasting Pan I roast my birds on a wire rack set over a baking sheet, and the bird has never suffered.

“ But unless you are enamored of the look of a roasted bird I would go with spatchcocking for chicken.”

Thanks; I learned something new!

My family likes a lot of dark meat. So I do 2 styles. One is brined and then plopped into an infrared fryer. Comes out looking beautiful.

The extra dark meat is a half dozen thighs that I cold smoke for an hour then Sous Vide (with some duck fat and herbs) for 12 hours. Pat dry, then finish them on the grill to make the skin crispy.

The added benefit is neither use the oven, which is busy with side dishes.

Best Roast Turkey I ever had was Injected with Champagne, covered with apples and baked in a roasting BAG.

Not a single dry piece of meat and the flavor was astounding.

“... so they could cut it’s jugular to bleed it out.”

Well, that trumps anything funny I was gonna respond to the line with.

The best way to fix a Turkey is being a guest at someone’s home so THEY prepare the Turkey!

Works for me since I don’t enjoy cooking even a little.

Capon is great! Never Dry. Sweeter meat.
