Trussing a chicken
There are different methods of trussing but all are
basically designed to achieve the same results.
Tuck the wings underneath the chicken to secure them. For trussing,
use a length of butcher's twine that is approximately 4 or 5 times the length
of the chicken. Place the middle of the twine under the tail, bring both sides up and cross over the top of the tail. Wrap ends of the twine around the end
of each drumstick and pull to draw the legs together, crossing ends over each other again.
Turn the bird over. Pull ends of twine up over the thighs and wrap around
the upper wings, catching the tips of the wings in the loop. The twine is wrapped around the wing close to the
body, and then both ends are brought to the upper side. If there is a flap of skin at the neck, it is folded up and the two ends of twine are tied over it.
To ensure a crispy skin, leave oven door ajar for last
15 minutes of cooking time.
