"Snoopy": I realize your oven is off limits due to it being broken.. and yes.. you can do a chicken in a microwave.. but, perhaps you can find someone with a roaster.. or maybe you can afford one.. if not .. I recommend asking Santa to bring one next year..

When I was up in Powell taking a full load at the college.. the holidays were a mad rush for me.. since we had finals one week before.. so cleaning house, decorating and baking was crammed into one week.. I held the Christmas Dinner on Christmas Eve for my Family.. and during one year my parents brought up two roasters one for the Ham.. and one for the Turkey.. I was amazed that the Turkey browned beautifully.. ever since then.. I use the roaster for the meats.. and leave my oven and microwave.. for the side dishes..
