This exclusive and ridiculously expensive dish would most probably be served only by billionaires trying to impress their guests and out-do their contemporaries:
1) Take a plucked chicken, generously baste with olive oil and place in a well greased titanium pod, designed to an optimal thickness
by a team of engineers and chefs to achieve just the right level of heat exposure during re-entry.
2) Launch the pod into orbit either using a purpose built rocket, or as cargo on a space shuttle.
3) Release the pod at a point where you can be sure it will land in the ocean in a location convenient for collection.
4) The chicken will be cooked by the heat generated in re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere. On reaching a pre-designated height above sea level, the pod will deploy a parachute to slow the chicken down.
5) Fish the chicken out of the sea.
4) Serve cold with salad.

Rods has already devised this method of cookery in his brilliant Jan. 10 annotation here. Bonus pull-string delivery system. [waugsqueke, Apr 25 2002]

are tights involved in any way? |

I read this idea name and my stomach lurched. I think I have the mind of a schoolboy... |

I'm just sorry I can't track down a working link to Robot Chicken Bondage Fetish anymore. |

The chicken-vessel could have aerodynamic control surfaces to vary its speed and flight-path to ensure the chicken is done to a turn. Although, being as I'm a vegetarian, could you do me some roast peppers instead? |

I don't think I've ever seen the turn of phrase "Fish the chicken" before... Oh, wonderful halfbakery! |

(Hey! Not that I'm an orbital cooking expert or anything, but isn't this more like "Re-entry baked chicken"?) |

stuff with onion and a potato. cook sage and onion stuffing separately if desired. yum |

at what temperature would olive oil begin to decompose? perhaps you'd be better off with a motor-oil derivative. |

The butter on my corn cob would melt far to quickly. |

I think a re-entry Tandoor oven would work better - the principle of a Tandoor oven is to cook small pieces of chicken for a short time at a very high temperature (340C). |

There would doubtlessly be a huge

Far away galaxies have been using the
same cooking technique, but with Pizza in
flying saucers. |
|

You've successfully practiced the
maneuver, here, with buns. |

No, frictional heating from atmospheric braking is a bit crude. The trick is to slingshot a projectile around a chosen star at sublight velocity, so that the package arrives back perfectly cooked, and still warm. |

If you can cook a souffle that way you earn extra points. |

//16 secret spices//
Salt, sugar, MSG. |

//frictional heating// - <scientific
pedantry>Things rushing through the
atmosphere don't heat up because of
friction, they heat up because the air in
front of them is compressed and thus
under high pressure, and so heats up.

At around Mach 18 reentry speeds this is going to be a crispy skin chicken, I guess. |

Crispy duck would be better, but the pancakes might be a little dried out. |
