It's almost Turkey Time: So how do you best cook a FROZEN BIRD? Well, smear it with margerine and dust it with two teaspoons of poultry spice. enclose it in a Brown Paper Grocery Bag with one sliced up Orange and a tray of Ice cubes. close the bag under the bird. If it won't close staple it closed. Put in heavy pan and bake slowly overnight at 350 degrees. I put mine on at midnight and at 6am I have a fantastic Brown Bird - so tender it falls off the bone - very juicy. If you do a small one - check it after 4 hours - just watch out for the
steam when you open the bag.
This is called Brown Bag Broasting.. If you use a Medium bird or a fresh bird just cut the time
When I am by myself I have the butcher
cut the bird in half on the Band Saw. I
cook a half bird the same way.
cook and eat the second half for Christmas. You can foil wrap a couple big yams or an Acorn Squash and put it inside. Fewer pans and a quick cleanup.
Now tell me how your doing yours...
Oh yes I cook the stuffing seperate so that I can control the fat..
