Yes, this is definitely a crazy turkey-sized chicken. This is the one my brother gave me after the hurricane. He appears to have gotten it wickedly on sale, because the price on it is only $7 and change. But I checked and it's a crazy 8 pounds. Really looking forward to chicken salad.
Let's see. The few times I have roasted a chicken, I have done exactly that - slathered the chicken in herbed butter, under the skin. And then I kept it basted. But I'm LOVING the bacon idea.

Pretty cool that you lived out here!
