    I wanted to make this wonderful recipe for my daughters 10th birthday party.

    When it was finished, she and her grandchildren said it was the best chicken they'd ever eaten.

    Worth the effort!

    I started making this chicken, got married, had kids and one of them is getting married tomorrow. Still only halfway through the recipe.

    10 years ago Heston was on every channel, but now you don't hear from him all that much. Guess he left the spotlight to go cook another chicken.

    I am here from the future 3020 AD. We are still waiting in our time to taste this wonderful delicacy.
    Curiosity brought me back in time to carefully observe the preparation steps.

    Even after all these years and reading most of the comments, I can't still figure out whether Heston made this video as a prank or he really was seriously proposing such a long drawn out process.
