Roasting a chicken

Watching one of the old reruns of Julia Child and she's showing how to
prepare a chicken for roasting. I just love this woman.

She removed bony elbows on the wings and she even removed the wishbone from
the breast part. Do you guys do that? I've roasted many chickens and never
done that. Is it the same for roasting a turkey?

LOL! Wrong group.

I've never removed elbows or wishbones, but last time I roasted a
chicken I had to remove a cat from the working surface several times,
then I had to remove the cat that was trying to get inside the
chicken. Later, after leaving the chicken to cool and prior to
serving, I had to remove the bits with tooth-marks in. Does this count?

I think this post belongs in the "Would you eat it?" thread!

Glad to see you back here! How are Norts'n'Keeks?

Extra hint:

Never ever leave a chicken or turkey, whole or in pieces, on a counter
or in a sink to defrost. A bank vault would be a good substitute, but in
a pinch, you can put it in a microwave or even in a fridge, if you've
got enough time to wait.

No it's not OT - we decided a long time ago that food was on-topic. ;

One of our kitties is a persian puffball who doesn't really know where
the end of her face is. She has an inordinate amount of trouble
eating from human hands. Usually isn't worth the trouble to even
offer anything for her except for freshly roasted chicken. She goes
crazy for it and behaves like a nearly normal cat. Birdmeat!

Can't be the wrong group - its about food, and asks how to remove
inconvenient inedible bits from a bird.

Seems perfectly On Topic for this group!

price is almost the same as the frozen raw price, and the chicken shops
always do a much better job of the roast than i can)

I disagree. I bought an already roasted chicken last week because I was
pushed for time but it certainly was not as good as I can do one myself.
