Seems these folks put some bbq rub on a half a bird, put it in a paper sack, staple it shut. Then put in on an indirect heat pit at 225 for 2.5 hours. Anyone tried this? Curious, Spencer Sat May 24 01:15:46 -0700 2003 0 Spencer 1 1600699 what issue? I can not find it in April or May. It sounds intriguing & I assume that the reason for the paper bag is to keep the moisture in the chicken. If I can find the receipt I will give a try & let you know.

The chemicals in the bag (and sometimes metal shavings) is one of the reasons that people stopped recommending baking turkey in paper bags. See link below from University of Illinois.
