Reply To: Chicken for the seder – I need advice, fast!

Rational: While not eating tzli on pesach night is a minhag, tzli still has a halachic definition. Tzli by halachic definition means roasting, baking, cooking without the medium of a liquid. What we in english call “baking in the oven” if there is no liquid in the pan it is called tzli halachically. I can have two pans in the oven at the same time,
one with chicken and spices and no liquid and the other a piece of meat with 2 or 3 inches of liquid and the chicken halachically would be called tzli and the meat halachically would be called mevushal.
