I always cook my Turkey and chicken upside down, they don’t look pretty as the drumsticks sort of sag. I think it’s an excellent idea, I am doing a chicken crown this weekend so will give it a go and let you know what happens

Morning, good wishes to all.

This year I will be doing a turkey crown, rather than a whole bird.

I usually stuff it, butter it and cover the breast and thighs with bacon, wrap in foil etc.

Bit worried that it might be dry, so toying with the idea of turning it upside down and putting some stuffing in the "dip" iykwim, then bacon on top, foil and actually cooking it upside down.

The thinking is that the juices from the stuffing will go down into the meat and moisten it.

Well, that's the theory grin!

Any thoughts?

TIA!
