Homestead Series How to Roast A Chicken or Turkey

[mrsfollett]

Trying out your method now! just a small roaster chicken shouldn't take as long..

[shanana000]

I love the way you laugh at your husbands jokes...I think it's sweet.

[luisp1969]

Thats a real big chicken!

[EbolaV1rus]

Great video. Canada has much better meat and meat selections, I'm not surprised at how large that bird is. I miss Canada! It's so wonderful up there, your family is so blessed!

I cook mine in a paper bag makes for a very juicy tender chicken/turkey.

[PlanetJill]

How large was this chicken? how many pounds? It looks absolutely enormous! I've never seen such a big chicken.

well the original in the oven idea is out the door deep fried is the only way to go to make shure it is moist this is done by searing the out side skin so u don't loose the juices and tastes way better too

[SleestaksRule]

Does your husband ever cook? (not Poptarts either). Surely he has a recipe for Canadian potato pancakes!

[ShawnCFarm]

Wow that chicken is as big as some turkeys

[TfidelisT]

[chdecoys]

thanks so much for posting your videos. i enjoy seeing the home cooked meals and the projects in the yard. thanks again and keep up the good work!

[camanojim]

man i'm droolin and i just ate!

[Cytacon]

I put two or three streaky bacon strips on a chicken before I roast it, I find that I don't have to baste it as much if I do that. Good for flavour too.

[HomesteadAcres]

sounds good! I'll have to give that a try next time. :-)

To make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe :-)

[biggdaddy2001]

don't forget pumpkin pi e from real pumpkins

[EOTW2122]

If memory serves me correctly, you'll be eating potatoes for years....

Great video, thanks for sharing!

[HomesteadAcres]

LOL yeah we harvested about 2800 pounds. :-P

[marthale7]

I cooked a turkey which was 26 lbs, I ended up with 10 lbs of meat when I was done. it was 86c a lb but I believe I would be futher ahead just getting a turkey meat by itself would of save me all the cooking time.  But I understand traditional meals. Looks like you got this down pat.. :)

[HomesteadAcres]

I guess it depends on the area your in. A turkey here is 2 to 3.00 + a pound depending on brand and time of year. But precooked turkey is twice that. I also make soup from the bones that makes many more meals as well.

[boomd1791]

Roasted chicken is my families' favorite meal!  So easy and usually lasts a couple meals depending on the size of the bird. Was that chicken from a supermarket or was it from a farm?

[HomesteadAcres]

It was a gift from the farmer dh's working for. I'm pretty sure he raised them himself.

[phill903]

That chicken looks delicous!! what time is dinner ? I love potatoes and gravey lol.

Nice video thanks for sharing.

[mountaincavedwellers]

Thanks for the video. Of course if the neck, gibbles, e.g., are in the bird it should be defrosted so that they can be removed prior to roasting. Your bird sure looked delicious!

[HomesteadAcres]

If your not using them for anything then it's just fine to leave them in. I always have. :-) I remove them latter when I'm removing the rest of the meat from the bird.

[youronesickpuppy]

Can you really leave that plastic bag inside the bird while cooking? You guys are eating a feast tonight! Looks great!

[HomesteadAcres]

They should be heat proof, I've never had one melt or anything wrong happen. Dh doesn't like the "innards" so we don't use them. Critters love them though. I use the meat off the neck same as the rest when I pick it apart latter.

[mbyr31]

Fantastic job!! Great advice. I'm going to try that come this Thanksgiving.

Take care!!

[yesiamanalien]

Looks delicious :)

[CMLovejoy]

Looks delicious!

[vention4wh]

I didn't know how to do this. Thanks!

[cindyluwho58]

That is one BIG chicken! Looks wonderful!

[DealerDirekt]

3 minutes in...guess what? hehehe~ chicken but.

I like your videos too:)

[HomesteadAcres]

LOL!

[MissPickletoes]

Very good!

It is amazing, but so many people only have had chicken from a bucket or a restaurant. We need to get back to basics and a healthy way of eating...

Kudos!

[daisydog9182]

looks good I'm hungry

[5starrater1]

Of course I know how to roast a chicken or turk, but I love watching your videos because of the way you guys make me feel - part of a more natural life.

Love you both. x

[HomesteadAcres]

thanks :-)
