    Hi bees!

    I'm a devoted Glamour blog reader and have followed their "engagement chicken" stories. Basically, it's a chicken you make when you want to get engaged! Well, it worked!! I e-mailed my story to an editor there and was lucky enough to have it posted! Read our story here!!

    http://www.glamour.com/sex-love-life/blogs/smitten/2009/08/a-readers-story-engagement-chi.html

    I thought this was exciting and fun and wanted to share with all of you lovely ladies!! Anybody else do anything superstitious before the big day?

    It's easy! Just make sure you pull all of the guts out of the bird and it's fully thawed.

    Rub salt on the skin, lemon juice if you want, you can also rub some butter on the skin.

    Stuff an onion in its ass (sorry to be crude!) and roast that sucker!

    You can do it!!

    i just created a post in the waiting section, but actually it does sound really yummy!!! and a variation from the normal baked chicken that i make. i will probably use tony's (i'm in louisiana) for the seasoning because that's his fave and he swears that nothing else tastes good (roll eyes) or i could use lemon pepper marinade?

    Thanks ladies!

    Do the engagement chicken!!

    Crebre: I think tony's seasoning would be DELISH!!! Lemon pepper marinade would work too. You can put anything on it!

    So cool! We're already engaged, but maybe if I make the chicken he will magically want to actually start planning!

    I made this chicken too! The proposal happend about a month later (I'm sure it didn't help that we had company when I made it). My Bear still raves about it, saying it's the best chicken ever. I should make it again soon. :)

    Soooooo what happens if the boyfriend can't eat chicken? My boyfriend is a pescatarian thanks to some liver issues where he can't digest meat proteins! :) I love him anyway, but it makes cooking alot harder since I'm a dyed in the wool meat and potatoes girl!
