How do you get a white trash girl to suck your d**k?

Dip it in ranch dressing.

Doesn't the turning in the rack mar the outside of the bird? Otherwise I love the recipe.

Delicious Orchards pies have always been very good, but not exactly convienient to NYC. One of the best pies in NYC is without a doubt the ones from The Little Pie Company of NYC. They've gone up in price quite a bit in the last two years, and their satelite store in Grand Central is no more, but that shouldn't dissuade you from braving mid-town. (Their sour cherry is to die for!)

There are some other excellent pies as well, such as the one's from Two Little Red Hens on the UES in the 80's, and the Lexington Candy Shop nearby also has a very good ones, but their's has to be ordered ahead of time as they come from a bakery in Southampton. Of course one can always go to Payard for a Tarte Tatain...$$$

I love those microwavable chicken pot pies that come in the paper pie pan. I mean...they aren't the most terrific chicken pot pies by a long shot, but in college when my dorm had one kitchen and I had a microwave in my room, it was pretty good for a random snack. Ah nostalgia.

I've heard Marie Callendar's generally tries very hard to get their frozen stuff to be close as possible to the stuff made in their restaurants. So I'm not surprised they beat out the other "classics" but perhaps a little surprised about the other pies (but not so much after your descriptions).

@downhillguru: Not microwaved. It's actually baked for 45ish minutes in the oven just like the rest of them, but it might as well be zapped in the microwave, since either way it tastes like a dead pie.

EVERYTHING Marie Callender's makes is delicious! I love most of her frozen entrees. Haven't tried the pie yet but I'm not surprised...her frozen foods are some of the best out there!

I had not bought a frozen pie in years, and the last time I did it seems like the Mrs. Smith's brand was considered to be pretty good. Well, I bought one last week (apple) and it was TERRIBLE! Worst pie I have ever tasted. In fact, we threw it out it was that bad. As the taste-testers above said, the crust was gummy (it really is taste-less, like cardboard). Also, the filling tastes really artificial. So . . . I'll try the MC brand next time. Although for a quick-to-make pie, those refrigerated Pillsbury piecrusts are the best of their type. Okay, okay, I know it's not as good as homemade, but it's better than any of the other pre-made crusts. And it really doesnt take long to mix up some fruit with a bit of tapioca and throw it in to bake. But it's good to know you can have something in the freezer that won't gag people, just in case.

@Erin Zimmer - the Paula Deen pie is an exclusive at WalMart. Food Network Humor has a great mashup of public reaction to said pie. I haven't seen/tried it, but I understood it to be a bakery item, not frozen.

@erin zimmer: only wal-mart carries paula deen pies. no joke.

@katieelby: Paula Deen has a frozen apple pie?! Where would one hypothetically buy such a thing?

I haven't made this recipe, but I've used some of Pioneer Womans other recipes and I have always enjoyed them. Yes, sometimes too much butter or too much sugar, but that's the joy of dessert!

I disagree about a lot of the candy items mentioned here.
I, for one, LOVE the fun-sized (or mini, if you prefer) candies. It's a tiny bit of something insanely tasty, enough to give pleasure without causing tummy pains. When I was a young'un and I went trick-or-treating, one house gave out mini Clark bars. Yum-o-delish! I polished those off first.
I think the chewy peanut butter kisses taste absolutely divine.
Candy corn, I think is plenty of tasty, as are the candy pumpkins made of candy-corn base. Think little dollops of hardened cake-frosting.
As for apples and raisins, those I didn't mind in the least.

However, some items, I do agree about.
Toothbrushes -- a boring reminder
Religious pamphlets -- disappointing and WEIRD to boot.
Packages of "normal" food -- oh, for crying in Manhattan, what kid wants to receive a can of baked beans or a box of oat bran in his little plastic jack-o-lantern.
One time I received cough drops -- and not the Ludens or Pine Bros or Smith Bros or F&Fs, which are tasty and could pass as hard candy (as can the Ricolas). These were nasty little green pellets that were -- and tasted like -- MEDICATION. Like I said, for crying in Manhattan! For crying in Manhattan, Chicago, and San Francisco

Oh well. At least I didn't get a ROCK

I just had some for breakfast.
