Finger Paint To Coat Your Poultry

    1/2 c  Paprika                                  Pepper
           Salt                                     Water; to make paste
           Garlic powder                            --LIKE a thick finger paint
           Onion; dried

  This will do about a 12lb turkey. Cut the amounts in half for a roasting
  chicken. Other seasonings are to taste. I never did measure.

  Here is a coating you can put on all poultry before roasting. Basically you
  make a paste of the above ingredients. It should be the consistency of
  finger paint; thick and not runny. If you have kids, put them in old
  clothes and let them help. I smear it in and out of the cavity. Notice that
  this does not have any Gravy Master or oil; both unneeded in my opinion.
  The skin cooks nice and crisp. Remember to baste during cooking.

  BTW, use this in the Nuke too. Sometimes we do a turkey or chicken in there
  when we have lot's of other baking/roasting to do. When Howard was in
  training to be a Chef, he brought home a bunch of fellow students for
  dinner. Not one of them even came close to guessing that the turkey had
  been made in the nuke.

  Since this has no added fat; (no usual added butter or oil); it helps keep
  the turkey moist without adding calories. I have done this on skinless
  breasts too. It adds minimal 'calorically'.

  I simply roast the chicken/or turkey the normal way (usually with a
  stuffing).  The skin is crisp and good (but probably not for you).
