I disagree on the wire rack, I've never pulled a bird off of a wire rack
without having some of the crispy skin stick and burn to the rack. I like
an upright roasted bird, you can purchase an upright roasting rack for big
bucks, though a beer can works better. The purpose of a wire rack is to
allow heat to crisp the underside of the bird. Those wire racks which you
lay the bird on are a chore to clean. Stand the bird upright on a can and
throw it away afterwards. You can also slap that bird down on a vegetable
rack of carrots, celery, fennel, potatoes, onions, salt pepper and olive oil
lightly then eat the vegetable wire rack.
