The absolute best - and easiest - way to roast a chicken (or duck, quail, and any small poultry); prepare an entire meal in one pan in the oven or on the grill. The upright position helps crisp the skin and melt out the fat. Fill the bottom center well with anything aromatic - beer, wine, citrus, or herb basting blends, then place your poultry on the rack and center it in the pan. During roasting, the basting liquid heats up and steams the bird from the inside out, gently infusing the meat with aromatics and moisture, producing tender, moist, and flavorful results. Add vegetables and herbs to the base of the pan and they"ll baste beautifully absorbing the natural juices and flavors too. Nothing could be easier - except the clean-up, rack and pan is dishwasher safe. Designed for use in the oven or on barbeque grill. Always use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Use oven mitts or gloves when handling. Dishwasher safe. Clean and dry well after each use.
