Or should I just cook them seperately for 1 1/2 hours each? I'm thinking that if I cook them together, it should be for less time. Thanks for any guidance!

I've read that it doesn't really make a difference so maybe I crazy but I say go for it! Flipping half-way through should be good to get the skin brown but personally, I don't mind just stealing skin off of the other side. ;-) Kitty, in past years I’ve let the bird roast breast side down for the entire roasting period (and actually that’s how I roast all of my chickens) because I do think it keeps the breast moister as the juices are flowing downward.

I have heard it insures a moist breast. What do you think?
