      *CELEBRITY BATTLE*

TALE OF THE TAPE:

QUINJA:  5-2-2  (representing the City of Brotherly Love and the Philadelphia FLYERS!)

"Cindy Crosby"  0-0-0 (representing Cluck Fu - Chicken)... Nuff said!  

Cindy weighs in at 5 lbs.

Entourage: Bouquet Garni (Thyme, Celery, Bay Leaf), Mirepoix (Celery, Carrot, Onion)

Ninja Technique: Roasting

1.  Remove the innards of the chicken.  Stuff with Bouquet Garni, Mirepoix, Season (Salt and Pepper).
2.  Tie the chicken (to keep the stuffing in).  (e.g., Send Cindy to the penalty box.)  Try to avoid putting the rope near the breast so it will look nicer and unmarked!  I mean, why would anyone want to ruin a nice breast with tattoos or piercings... wait, I disgress... back to the kitchen...
3.  Sear the legs and side to keep the juices in!
4.  Bake at 425F for 15 minutes.
5.  Bake at 400F for 15 minutes.
6.  Bake at 375F for 15 minutes.
7.  Bake at 350F for 90 minutes.
Baste with the juices every now and then.  You want to end with a temperature of 180F.
In the case of poultry, you do not want to undercook or keep it rare for food safety!
You want clear juices coming from the bird not pink.




VICTORY!  I mean, what did you expect... Good always vanquishes Evil!  I assure you that Cindy was faking illness (Note: Concussions are no joking manner!) and his tears are just representing how "moist" the bird was!
