    Her explanation of the various stages of aging is absolutely hilarious. My maternal grandfather made the best roast chicken. He cooked it in a bag and it was seasoned to perfection. I was always so happy when we went for a visit on Sundays and saw he had made it with rice, gravy, peas and snaps, boiled okra and homemade buttermilk biscuits. Peas and snaps and okra from his garden. Those were the good old days.

    I'd try this if I had a rotisserie. Then again, I could just roast it in the oven and turn it often I guess. The explanation of the different kinds of chicken's was good to know. Julia was a great role model for women of her time, and still teaching today with these video's. One of the better things on PBS

      You mean because she only used a towel but did not use soap and water after touching the raw chicken? I was wondering about that too. I wonder if anybody actually eats the food or if it's just thrown away like an old prop.

      The salmonella issue started in the mid 80s, mostly having to do with how chicken producers changed how chickens were raised in a cramped feed lot factory setting rather than the older less crowded farm method.

    I love a roasted chicken, but my oven lacks a rotisserie. I don't think they're as common as they once were. And look at the rich yellow color of those chickens! Must've been free-range ones, rather than factory farmed.

      I don’t have one either, so I use a roasting rack and pan. The rack raises the chicken well away from the juices that will come out of it. Start the chicken breast side down for 15 minutes, then turn it breast side up the rest of the cooking time

    If you were to follow all these completely unnecessary stages you would have to start preparing your roast dinner 2 weeks in advance. I’ve never seen so much string used to truss a chicken - is it chicken or string she’s trying to roast?
