Homestead Series How to Roast A Chicken or Turkey

I see questions come up on forums all the time, about how to cook chicken/turkey. Many people have never cooked it themselves before. Or have forgotten to thaw a head of time.
I wanted to show how you can simply cook a chicken/turkey and you don't need to pre thaw.
You don't have to use the same seasonings I did. Use what you like!

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.

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.

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

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