Traybakes are valued for their simplicity. Everything cooks at the same temperature for the same amount of time, which doesn’t always translate to complex flavor development. But convenience doesn’t have to be boring and bland. A mix of honey, paprika and roasted orange delivers deep sweetness balanced by tangy citrus and hints of smokiness in this ultra-easy chicken traybake. Even the knife-work is minimal in this recipe from our cookbook “ Milk Street 365: The All-Purpose Cookbook for Every Day of the Year.” You’ll only need to trim the chicken, quarter an orange and cut the vegetables into wedges.

Travis Hunter is an undeniable star on the University of Colorado Buffaloes football team — and a current favorite for becoming only the second CU player to win the Heisman Trophy. But is he ready for Hollywood? A new promo for the Dec. 13 movie “Kraven the Hunter,” which depicts Spider-Man villain Kraven — minus Spider-Man — says an enthusiastic yes. “To promote the visceral, action-packed origin story starring Aaron Taylor-John (‘Bullet Train’), [Sony Pictures] partnered with Heisman Trophy favorite Travis Hunter to show he, too, is a skilled and cunning hunter,” according to a press statement. “I’m going to take down anyone who gets in my way,” Hunter warns in the 57-second video, which was released today on YouTube.

There’s a small wooden cabin at the top of Northwest Peak, a few miles from Montana’s borders with Idaho and Canada, and Chuck Manning, 79, believes lookouts like this one deserve a second chance at being useful. The fire lookout sits at about 7,700 feet above sea level and seems to be in good condition despite being abandoned since 1955, when the Forest Service last staffed the outpost. Manning leads the Northwest Montana Lookout Association, a nonprofit group that supports government agencies in restoring and maintaining lookout towers around Kootenai and Flathead national forests. The Forest Service began building fire-detection towers after the Great Fire of 1910, then added more after the Civilian Conservation Corps and other government agencies considered lookouts–particularly in the West—as New Deal investments. The result: State and federal workers built close to 8,800 lookouts throughout all 50 states.

By BRUCE SHIPKOWSKI A large number of mysterious drones have been reported flying over parts of New Jersey in recent weeks, sparking speculation and concern over who sent them and why. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and law enforcement officials have stressed that the drones don’t appear to be a threat to public safety, but many state and municipal lawmakers have nonetheless called for stricter rules about who can fly the unmanned aircraft.
