As it takes longer you could start it in the oven, hope it all works out and you enjoy your Christmas dinner.
We have cooked a chicken, roast potatoes and roast carrots and parsnips in a one shelf oven. Placed the grid from the grill pan on the floor of the oven for the chicken, with veg in foil dishes on the shelf above. Always get an Aldi cook in bag chicken, which comes in its own foil tray.
Yes I do home made batter mix Yorkshires with every roast dinner, wouldn't be a proper job without them. None of yer Aunt Bessies round here
Ha ha! No problem, it’s actually a 70 year old AGA that was converted from a log burner to oil many years ago, so she has had a long and hard life.Sorry Nirvanauk, I had no idea that was a picture of your oven, please forgive the misunderstanding, But I did manage to get one of these to impress your guests, hopefully I will be forgiven now.

More sprouts please Les??? I adore emWe wont be cooking Xmas lunch in the van this year, which will be sadly missed
If on hook up we would use The Remoska oven to do the turkey roast, then set it to rest whilst doing the roasties and Yorkshire Puddings
I like those Roast In the bag chickens, as they are already seasoned, and cook nice & brown etc, however I defy anyone to open that bag without burning your fingers or spilling fat all down your front!, certainly dont wear crocs!
If we were not on hook up, I guess I would use the Webber gas BBQ for the Turkey & roast Pots, the van oven for keeping stuff warm, and the steamer for the veg.

PS: No I dont wear Crocs
Here's a dinner I made a couple of years back at Bristol Wharf CMC Site.
No Yorkshire puds were injured in the making of this dinner, however they were stuck to the lid of The Remoska Oven, lesson learned always use a Cartouche (thats a round bit of greased proof paper to you & me) inside the lid of the oven to prevent it sticking.
Oh I know what you mean, I had a solid fuel Rayburn I called Anna when I first moved to Wales and she was pretty elderly, but I managed.Ha ha! No problem, it’s actually a 70 year old AGA that was converted from a log burner to oil many years ago, so she has had a long and hard life.
Yea No problem Robert, we love em too, those were picked from TinaL's allotment.More sprouts please Les??? I adore em
He loves them but I don't love the result that hisYea No problem Robert, we love em too, those were picked from TinaL's allotment.
I always get the Mature Stilton, maybe some Stinking Bishop out to let it breath, by early evening, then I dont get expelled to stand outside so much.

Ah we don't have a grill pan, left it at home or an Aldi! Will get a pretty big free range chicken so there's plenty for boxing day left overs. Duck fat potatoes in the roasting tray, again lots! Pigs in blankets and stuffing I'll do earlier in the day and then yorkies at the end with potatoes keeping warm on the bottom of the oven. Also going to make bread sauce and Jamie's Christmas crumble on Christmas eve. Hopefully that will be enough food for 2 people for 2 days
yes we do too. Best to pop the ring pull though otherwise you spend a couple hours trying to find the chickenNow you know it doesn't take much to confuse me.. Is that true, before I tell other people about it?
I would use whatever took your fancy & maybe a red wine gravy/sauce.
The red wine gravy is a definite, with a touch of red currant jelly.
Good plan, red currant jelly heated stirring then stirring in red wine makes a lovely sauce.
Dried cranberries and walnuts, rosemary?
Do you reckon that a dirty oven like that saves on having to pre-marinade the chicken overnight , and add a Smokey taste overall?
I hate cleaning ovens, takes me all day, need a few beers to aid me in the task, and only feels like 5 minute since I did it last time.
Lesson learned, I do all my roasts in an enamelled Dutch Oven, then that's the only bit that needs cleaning each time, one similar to this one, its much lighter that the Le Creuset cast iron set we have also, wouldn't be without now.(had it 30 years or more, still like new)
Sorry for the slight thread drift, it was the dirty oven that did it.!

Should you kill the chicken first?
I thought I’d try it once for fun ? Took ages to clean up the mess. The first part of the post was probably correct.Prick ...
the pointy end of the egg first and it won't!
Me thinks Minxy Girl is being a minx AGAIN.
