Directions:
Directions:
20 minutes per pound is average
Place bird in roaster. Remove neck and giblets.
Add liquid to pan to keep him moist
Rub skin with butter.
Sprinkle with poultry seasonings

160º is technically done but meat will not pull off the bone until 200º. I cook until tender.

A 20# bird will give you 8 # meat.

Personal Notes:
I have roasted many birds in my days at the Springhouse pulling meat for catering. This is a good guide when planning for your group.

Gabe loves the sight of a whole bird roasting.
