Butter

My sister put a whole chicken on the
grill for almost 3 hours for dinner.
So I'm doing that this afternoon.
I had read from Julia and Jacques:
Cooking at Home , this funny line:

from Julia Child:
"Not everything that I do with my roasted
chicken is necessarily scientific. Many
aspects of my method are based on feeling
and experience. For instance, I ALWAYS
give my bird a generous butter massage
before I put it in the oven.
Why?
Because I think the chicken likes it~~~
and more important, I LIKE to give it.
I learned butter massage when I started
cooking for the first time in France and
would never give it up."

SO yes, I did massage with some butter
and chuckled at Julia!
