Slit each chestnut and place about a dozen on ech sheet of heavy aluminum foil. Wrap in a tight package. Place on coals for about 25 minutes, turning once. (Or place in very hot oven, 450, for 35 to 40 minutes). Shell and sprinkle with salt and pepper or dip in melted butter.
I've always wanted to try these since it sounds so cozy in the Christmas song. I did them the oven way, and they turned out fine. They're pretty easy to shell just using your fingers, sometimes a butter knife. We dipped them in melted butter. The flavor is not that exciting, just kind of a mellow taste, nothing to really get excited about, but I'm glad I tried it!
