Have a safe trip back, Navlys.
For Tuesday night dinner I roasted eight chicken thighs. I had bought some silicone racks from Oxo and I put the chicken on those rather than a metal rack, although I still sprayed them with olive oil. The fat dripped off, and the clean-up of rack and pan was easy, especially since I lined the roasting pan with parchment. I also discovered, about two weeks ago that my oven, in addition to a "bake" setting has a "roast" setting. I used it, and the chicken skin crisped nicely. I also roasted cut-up potatoes tossed in olive oil and sprinkled with Penzey's Bavarian seasoning. I did those in my countertop oven. We also had microwaved fresh green beans.
