I always cook my bird in a reynolds oven bag

Here's my method....

Frozen bird - goes into the fridge Sunday

Thursday - clear out the bird, rinse well, salt well inside

Inside the bag - add 1/2 cup flour, a couple carrots, a couple stalks celery, a couple small onions

Put the bird inside the bag on top of the other ingredients, pour a cup of wine (whatever kind you're drinking) onto the opening of the bird

Preheat your oven

Cook the bird per the usual time schedual

Using this method, the meat will literally fall off the bones - YUM

I too, use a Reynold's oven bag.
It cuts down on the roasting time, and there is less mess to clean up afterward.

This year they'll be less mess than usual, we're going to my in-laws for lunch.
