I think I'll go out and sacrifice a goat or maybe a chicken.

That's part of it. But first we are required to purify ourselves. Then we require a priest from the Levites to intercede on our behalf. Even then the sacrifice is not perfect. Just FYI.
We chose a chicken but rather than just burn it up on the altar of sacrifice, we basted it, put it on the grille, cooked it up nicely, after which we served it up with salad, chips and beer.
