Cryptic #4

I finished the draft of this puzzle ages ago, but a combination of travel and Covid kept me from getting it up until now. Actually, Covid isn't really an excuse since I was basically sitting in bed for a while, though I wasn't that sick, which is pretty conducive to posting a puzzle, but I never got around to it. It was probably long enough ago that  Juff  probably doesn't even remember test-solving, but his help was invaluable. Rood Word Count: 1? (Probably context-dependent) Full Screen

Chicken Turnover

I wasn't expecting my first full-sized non-cryptic puzzle to be themed,  but here we are. The grid's a little rough in places, but I'm reasonably happy with it for a first attempt. Thanks to my aunt, uncle, and cousin for a test solve while I was visiting them a couple weeks ago. Rood Word Count: 1 (Unless you really don't like thinking about STDs) Full Screen
