Yes, this recipe from the late 1950's uses a brown paper bag to hold the baking chicken. It was probably the for-runner of the reynolds plastic baking bag. The paper bag gives the chicken a beautfil brown skin and makes it moist and delicious. I think its probably better for us than plastic. A new paper bag is sterile and does not have the chemicals that plastic does.
