Well it didn't start well. I pre-heated the roaster and THEN read the instructions where it said to take the lifting rack out BEFORE pre-heating. Of course, I had just put all my oven mitts, and pads, (I have 197 of them,) in the washer. So I grabbed two tea towels and took the rack outside to cool down. Then I put the chicken in a small pan, put the pan on the rack on the counter, added a touch of water, lifted the rack, walked over to the roaster and the pan/chicken/water slipped off and went flying across the kitchen floor! I picked it up, washed it off, plopped it back into the pan and proceeded to put in the roaster more carefully!
Michelle, upon my describing the incident, asked, with a straight face... "why did the chicken cross the floor?" I replied... "because it could." We laughed uproariously, Matthew just looked at us. I think he's forgotten Michie's and my delightful sense of humour!
Really, I washed it well and it's cooking at 350 it should be fine. Plus, I don't eat chicken and the prime rib didn't fall on the floor! ha!
ps: The chicken is done but I'm waiting for Bob to come home as I'm afraid to try to take it out! A cooked chicken falling onto the kitchen floor is NOT funny!

Roll, roll, roll your chicken,
Gently across the FLOOR.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
At least it didn't roll out the door.
It didn't roll, it slid! really, really fast, but slid! hehe
