wapiti Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I'm roasting it breast side down for about half the time and then flipping it. What bad things will happen if I don't tie the legs together? Can I use foil somehow? I really should make roast chicken more often. (I was planning on turkey thighs but there were none left at the store last night :D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Well, the chicken will be in a more vulgar looking pose. It's more seemly to have the bird in a more demure pose. Otherwise, do what the rest of us do and don't worry about it. I've never had the legs pop off when rotating the bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Other than running away, I wouldn't think much at all. I never tie chicken legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you do, you can play Black Knight and yell "your leg is off" and then answer in a chickeny voice, "no it's not! It's just a flesh wound!" and so on. You should probably come up with an empty wine bottle to have out if you go that route though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just serve it to your friends and give them some more Pinot noir or Chardonnay. snort :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapiti Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Ah, that's what we need - some wine :D FWIW, the chicken turned out quite well and didn't even look odd. I brined it first but otherwise kept it very simple (salt, pepper, olive oil, onions in the pan). Even the gravy worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
