Hi Joyce, I think Diane's answer made sense: Hi, Joyce, My uneducated guess is that the metal in the illuminum foil creates a gridlike surface which browns the skin. When I eventually get a chicken, I plan to mix butter flavored CRISCO, MSG, and buttermilk dressing mix and slather the mixture inside and outside the entire bird. Would greatly appreciate further thoughts on this subject!
Diane and kitty Lauren Bacall*******I'm not totally sure Joyce, but it's what I would think, unless some one else thinks of something differently, in case, please share with us. thanks Syl.
