I had forgotten about those. Do you mean one of those schlemmertopf things? That could work...but not sure if I could find one around here....and the small oven is a problem too.

Could you also swing this with a bamboo steamer if you cut the chicken into pieces and lined the tray for the rice?

I like to stuff a chicken with whole sprigs of basil and then roast. Normal spices on the outside.

i've been making LOTS of chicken-and-rice dishes lately ... maybe the cool weather. they're perfect sunday suppers, always lots of leftovers for the rest of the week.

I'm over-due for making a jambalaya - I'll have to do that soon.

I clicked on this thread, assuming it was going to piss me off. Surprisingly, it has made me happy.

It is really great. I'll post a full recipe later. It makes great picnic food as well.

Xmas might be a good time for Torihamu ? ? ?

Can you smoke it? You don't need a smoker but if your space is limited you'll probably have to cut it up.
