Now prepare your rice with the cooking instructions on bag, equal to 2 cups cooked rice....Set aside.

Remove chicken from fridge and rub seasoning on meat under the skin and in the cavity.
Rub the skin down with the butter. Add the rice mixture to the cavity.

Bake at 350 in a lightly greased baking dish(I use canola spray), 1-11/2 hrs until skin is brown.

i love chili...i am amazed at the cinnamon...that should be interesting.

what do you usually have with your chili? i like to make grilled cheese and crackers and more crackers, lol but a friend makes cornbread and i am kinda religious about drinking milk with my chili.

Your friend is correct...The best is cornbread but I usually make it in a loaf and slice... A little less liquid makes the consistency thicker and loafs up without crumbling...Some ppl like sour creme in it but I dont. I am a little old fashioned with chili and like it thick,spicy and saltines on the side with the cornbread..

Also Slay, Grilled cheese is the shit with tomato soup...Goes together like PB & J
Tomato soup is best with milk and not water but I am sure you knew that Doll...

oh, it definitely sounds yummy with the cinnamon and have heard of weirder shit so i'll try it, plus the fact that i don't like my chili so "wangy" and that prolly tones it down a bit. i'm like you in that i like mine thick and spicy and one of my restaurant faves has something in it i can't put my finger on and lol, they're not willing to tell me!!!

yer right...i use milk instead of water and have grilled cheese. how you make your grilled cheese, Wise...any special tips or tricks you use? i like mine kinda crispy but i just can't seem to do that very well. some folks around here use mayo instead of butter but that don't sound too appetizing to me and i <3 butter so i ain't about to quite it!

the better cook should be doing the cooking. i just happen to be that person at my house cause the hubby doesn't wait on me to get home to eat sometimes. when he's hungry, he cooks.

[Dert McGert]

But the problem is if it doesn't cook inside a microwave or is cooked similar to mac and cheese, then there is no hope for me doing it.

[Bloodshot {ADR}]

that's a lot of stuff. I have ketchup, 2 pickels, one chicken nugget, and a piece of moly bread. Mcgiver me a meal..

Not too many secrets with grilled cheese that I know....I cook it slow w/ butter and velvetta cheese.Usually ends up crispy outside and soft and runny inside. I also wait maybe 3-5 minutes after its done to give the cheese a chance to harden some.

P.S. If you like your chili spicy add more of the peppers..That recipe is the toned down version with a small kick.

sorry, Dert...that sux big time. That's not as big a problem as it seems...you need someone to teach you the basics and little by little, you could be whipping out the food of the gods and whoever that TV chef is that says "BAM!" all the time...can't quite remember his name
