which way around do you put the aluminum foil when you bake a chicken for example and why? Does the shiny side touch the food or the other side? Does it make a difference?

It has been demonstrated many, many times that it makes no difference. Go to the reynolds aluminum foil site. They say the same thing. No difference. None. Nada.

I've heard "experts" say on TV cooking shows to put the shiny side towards the food, but I'd been using it the other way for many years before I heard that and switched. I found out it didn't make a bit of difference!

This one I think your going to get a lot of opposite opinions on. I put the shiny side out, away from the food if wrapping the food. When lining a cookie sheet, or the broiler on the oven, I put the shiny side up. With the food on the shiny side.
My reason?
Mom did it that way.

attempt it and observe what occurs. only for some seconds. i left a fork interior the microwave and not something happened similar element with aluminum foil. it relies upon on the microwave and the elements interior the fork and aluminum. do exactly a tribulation . yet be prepared for a fireplace.

so the food doesnt burn quick

In a recent TV cooking show, the presenter said there's no difference either way.
