LOL. It almost makes you feel guilty eating them when the head is still attached...
By the way, thanks for the recipe! Definitely will try it sometime!

Many thanx!!

thanks for the recipes!

hey everyone... thanks so much for all the comments.  Here are the recipes.!!

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hours, 30 minutes

Ingredients:

5 large potatoes (baking size)
3/4 cup of olive oil
2 1/2 cups of water
juice of 1 lemon
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
3/4 teaspoon of dried Greek oregano (rigani)
2 teaspoons of sea salt
freshly ground pepper
juice of 1/2 orange
Preparation:

Preheat oven to 480°F (250°C).

Peel the potatoes, cut in half lengthwise, and in half lengthwise again, into quarters. Rinse well and shake to remove excess water. Spread the potatoes out in an 11 X 14 inch (or equivalent) roasting pan. Toss the potatoes with the salt, pepper, oregano, garlic and olive oil (using hands works best), and sprinkle with lemon juice. Add the water to the pan (do not pour over the potatoes). Put on lowest rack in the oven, and roast at 480°F (250°C) until the water boils. Then reduce heat to 355°F (180°C) and cook for 1 hour. Drizzle the orange juice over the potatoes, and continue to cook another 30 minutes or until potatoes are soft and toasty looking.

Yield: 5-6 servings

as for the chicken.. soo easy..

all you need is salt, garlic, pepper, butter, and italian seasoning.

get like 2 sticks of better and leave and let soften.  Mix in 1/4 bottle of the italian seasong with fresh garlic and salt and pepper to taste.  and stuff it in the chicken between the skin and the meat.  

bake in the oven at 350 degree covered for 30 minutes.  Then remove top and bake at 425 degrees for another 15 minutes!!  

soo easy and so good.  Good luck w/ the heads and the feet!!

*laugh*
Yes on the recipes ;)

I think I'd probably have freaked too. The shear surprise of finding a head in my chicken would have me looking around for the poultry mafia.  Course, then my kids would have come in and wanted to see it. Girl-child would have wanted to reanimate it, but that's a different story...  

I can't eat anything that's "looking" at me. Also, for some reason, I can't eat any kind of seafood that I prepared. No idea what that is, but I'm sure there's a big fancy phobia name for it.
Can you go to a butcher shop and ask them to de-feet and decapitate your chicken for you BEFORE you bring it home? Yikes. So how does Chinese beef come? Or don't we want to know?!

lol~ Join my world then. I have no problem to cook things without the whole head and feet but with it, I'll have to have someone else do it or just walk around looking for a chicken in the supermarket that doesn't have all those on its body still.

That is probably the most hilarious/traumatizing chicken story I've heard. Ever. And you did better than I would have done. I don't think I would have handled that well at all.
But all the gory chicken parts aside, your meal sounded like it was going to be delicious. I'd love the recipe as well!

Yes, recipe please.  Terry should've told you, never offer anything to do with food.

I was traumatized just reading it.  I think I may have had only veggies that night.  I would've freaked out and been in tears.  My mom and I were having a seafood dinner and the chef saw us.  He decided to send both of us out 2 entire grilled fish complete with head and tail.  I sat at the table completely still. Then I started swaying.  I felt my mom looking at me but I didn't care.  I took a piece of lettuce from my salad and put it over the fish head.  She said "you're gonna eat that fish (it was my idea to get it)" After all her threats failed she sent it back to the kitchen to be beheaded and detailed (not even sure that's a word).

I would die if I saw the head and feet too!!! lol
I guess we live a sheltered life here in the states everything is packaged just right for us... but way to go girlie you did great for your 1st time so you deserve some major props :D
