    Bruce,[p]I would use a sitter in a drip pan to cook the birds. Give the meat a light coating of peanut oil (no flavor - just helps seal the surface and transfer the heat). If you like a flavoring on the bird, mix it with a bit of peanut oil and then baste the exposed meat. Cook at 300-325°F for 20 min/lb (avg bird weight) or to 160°F in the breast. Allow a rest for the heat to distribute before serving.[p]With some liquid added to the drip pan (beer, wine, pineapple juice, a mixture, etc - adding spices is good) the cooking temp can be lowered to 250°F and then figure closer to 30 min/lb for the cook. The result is equally as tender - just a better influx of the flavorings into the meat.[p]This method can only do 3 of your five birds at one time.[p]Spin
