The technique was basically to tack down the corners
of the chip
first, so that the chip is/stays properly aligned with the board, and
then drag the soldering iron along each side (using a wedge tip),
with the solder along the trailing edge.. if you get just the right
speed, you'll get a good connection. Then, just take solderbraid and
an iron to pick up the excess.
I forgot to mention, coating everything in excessive amounts of flux is
essential..
