OMG, that picture is hilarious. It looks like two people in a chicken singles bar who've been out on the beach way too long.
One of my few Martha Stewart moments was apple juice concentrate chicken. I don't have a set recipe for what to flavor roast chicken with, and once I just poured a 12-ounce can of frozen (thawed) apple juice concentrate over the birds and just added a little water when basting to keep the pan from cooking dry. They had the most amazing reddish-mahogany color and were very tasty; no photo of them unfortunately.

It's sometimes referred to by the mouth-watering term, "beer butt chicken."

O. M. G. ... :-X
I guess now we know why the chicken crossed the road. ...
I'm afraid the favorite chicken recipe in the Wrangler family is just the one that's still on the box of Bisquick pancake mix. My dad and I would rather eat chicken prepared that way than just about any other way.

Going back to the original post by della, I'm not sure if models are getting smaller. I can't imagine anyone thinner than Twiggy, the supermodel of my era. The only thing large about her was her eyelashes. No, I just think it's more women getting larger.

The theory is that as the beer heats and boils, the steam flavors, bastes and tenderizes the chicken from within, while the outside gets browned. Kitchen supply shops even sell holders for the beer can. Like so:

OH YEAH!!! Beer butt chicken is not only delicious, but its good for you. Grilling cooks off much of the fat. Now, the same friend that does the beer butt chicken also used to deep fry a whole turkey for her annual birthday party every year in May. Hey, its only once a year.

Women are getting larger, there's no doubt about that. But Twiggy was an anomaly. That's why she was called Twiggy. Nowadays, models who are Twiggy's size just go by whatever their name is, because they aren't unusual.
Here's an ABC News article saying that plus size, once considered sizes 12 to 18, nowadays might include size 6.
The only time I've ever worn size 6 in my adult life was when I was at my very thinnest.
In The Devil Wears Prada, one running joke is that the dragon-lady NY magazine editor calls Anne Hathaway "the fat girl." She's said to be a size 6 (though I bet the real Anne Hathwaway is smaller than that).
In 1990's Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts was a size 6.
