Sunday! I'm a vegetarian but wanted to try to roast a chicken for my fiance who is making an attempt to eat healthier meals*. I've never cooked poultry before so I had a range of questions for my lovely father. Back up or belly up? When the recipe says "tuck the wings under the bird" where am I supposed to tuck them? Up? Down? I don't own a roasting pan--will the pan I use for brownies work? And on. And on.

*This meal ended up not actually being healthy, what with the butter brushed on the skin and then timidly poked beneath it. Whoops! He did eat some butter/chicken fat-soaked vegetables, so I've counted it as a minor victory. Thanks Dad.
