Bird,
Thanks wiht that second link i could see the feet on hte rack and can see how it stands up.
HRS- check that price label on your chicken and make sure oyu didn't buy a rooster. Don't laugh my daughter did that once. it is kind of a cute story.
She had her first job out of college, she graduated in december and found a job for the second semester. We planned a family vacation to go see her, even took grandpa and grandma along. On the phone I am helping her plan for our vacation and I suggest that seh make chicken salad, a lot of chicken salad the day before we arrive as that is a nice meal to serve and it doens't have to be cooked etc. So I tell her how to make chicken salad, making sure to tell her to buy a BIG chicken becasue there would be 6 of us eating.
the day befefore we leave I get a phone call form her, "Mom how is this chicken going to completely cook, it is sticking up form the pot of water/' I tell her to use a really big pot like to boil spegehetti. She tells me that is the post she is using, and I ask her, and the chicken is still sticking up higher than that pot? She assures me it is. I am sitting in Wisconsin wondering waht kind of large chickens they sell in Virginia. I ask her, "Are yu sure you bought a chicken?" "hold on, I'll go look at the wrapper I threw it away." She comes back on the line and sheepishly says, "it's a rooster not a chicken" i can see how that could happen because in Wisconsin they do not sell roosters. We all enjoyed our rooster salad and man was there a lot of it. we msut have had 3 meals of "rooster salad"
So, HRS check the label if it is a huge chicken perhaps it is really a rooster!
I am enjoying this thread and having hRS share his experiences from knowing nothing to learning about smoking food. i picked up a useful tip about having vineager in a bottom pan that I might use some day myself. thanks to all for contributing.
