lol, i thought this thread was about the famous finger motion. who knew it would be about cooking?
squzie, it can be done easily with chickens. i do it when i have the time.
it only makes a small difference in the breast moistness, so i don't always bother. dw likes her roast chickens well done, so i'll try to flip the boid when i know she's gonna check how well done i've made it.
on a funny finger note: a korean buddy once showed me how koreans insultingly flip the bird at people. you stick the tip of your thumb between your index and middle finger, then pump it in the air. he asked me what that same motion would mean in america. i told him that here, it's called "got your nose".
it took me all afternoon to explain that one.
