OTHER: COOKED CHICKEN (BIRD STRIKE),

The aircraft had had a bird strike that entered the compressor. It was boroscoped and released. Next flight, roast chicken. So the only way around this problem, a high power ground run. So we sat for 10 minutes or so smelling like Fozzer's kitchen on a Sunday........ ;D ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
