This is some of the best food TV I've seen recently (the player is embedded after the jump). It's a nicely edited clip of Christopher Walken preparing roasted chicken and pears. He shares cooking tips, shows off his upright roaster and seems totally and completely comfortable in the kitchen. Clocking in at just more than three minutes long, it is a good example of how little preparation is needed to make a good meal, even one fit for a star.Please keep your comments relevant to this blog entry.

How nice to see Mr. Walken acting normal and not like some crazed wacko as he does in so many of his movies. Nice chicken, too. Was it "chicken ala pear" or pear ala chicken?"

It's a neat looking recipe. I only hope that they edited out him washing his hands before handling the salt and pepper containers. He's all over with the hands! LOL! And the cat on the counter! AAAAHHH!

Sorry folks, I couldn't figure out how to take it off autoplay. It's driving me nuts as well. It will be off the front page soon.

After serving the chicken to his dinner guests he then proceed to pummel them, mercilessly, with a crowbar...
Seriously, Walken is the Man!
"I have these ...Pears..."
That said, when he says "OK. That's all for now" at the end.. are YOU going to question him ?

Delightful! A major star of stage and screen happily being domestic. Right down to the kitty. I'm going to cook this - my hubby loves pears. I'm a fan of Walken and even more so now.

Christopher Walken can do no wrong by me. He sings, dances, does Broadway theatre, an actor with an OSCAR who can do drama and comedy and he can cook! Would love to have him in my kitchen anytime. How many of you can say that!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pat a female even though it says mrclancey (belongs to my deceased husband - who could COOK in my book!
