In our house we usually only eat chestnuts on Thanksgiving in our Sausage and Chestnut Stuffing. The trick to peeling the chestnuts is to place them on a baking sheet and bake them in the oven. Make sure to cut the top of the chestnuts with an X before baking them, this will make it easy to peel the chestnuts. When you take them out of the oven and begin peeling them keep a kitchen towel over the nuts not peeled yet, this will keep the warm and moist making it easier to peel them.
