STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep with news of the laws of cooking. You may, if you wish, fry an egg on a hot sidewalk. You may not apparently cook a chicken in a hot spring at Yellowstone National Park. Acting on a tip, a park ranger found several men dipping a burlap sack with two whole chickens in the spring.

It's MORNING EDITION.
