    You wanna keep it crispy while keeping the breast medium, I would suggest hitting it with about 250C for 20 mins then lowering for 180 for about 45 mins

    I would rather iron my nutsack whilst pouring sulphuric acid on my eyeballs than fly 11 hours.

    I am actually shocked at the price myself for the Wifi - Very reasonable

    Tickets for that route are fierce expensive.

    Work trip?

    :eek:

    105 minutes to cook a duck breast? You planning on cooking big bird?

    Why aren't Aer Lingus marketing the **** out of this? Relatively cheap WiFi and power to keep you juiced. Would sway me if I was caught between two airlines, (unless of course they are all doing it)
