ooo thanks for the chicken crisp tip!!!
I know this is a bacon thread, but I have to comment - I made a retro (1930) recipe for roast chicken one year for Thanksgiving (it was just me and the cats I was petsitting) - just butter, salt and pepper - and it was so good! If I make it again I'll use your suggestion.
