  1. This is my fathers recipe and it still is one of the most delicious meals I’ll ever eat. Amazing.
     
  2. I really liked this recipe.I used 2 bone-in chicken breasts and baked them for about 1 hour.They were very moist and tasty.Great recipe.
     
  3. This was really very good. Very easy to prepare and a nice balance of herbs. We did find that the taste was improved by sprinkling lemon juice over the chicken before the oven stage (hence the four stars) but this may be purely a taste preference on our part. Certainly worthy of five stars if you are not a lemon junkie.
     
  4. Hi, I've got to try this recipe of yours. It looks fabulous in the picture. I'm starving already. Hope you can post some more of your favorite recipes. Thanks for sharing. Glen of Coolidge, Arizona
     
  5. This chicken is outstanding! I sprinkled the chicken with rosemary,thyme,sage,garlic powder, and cayenne also took the advice of putting it under the skin as well, I made one mistake and that was I forgot to roll it in flour before browning but it didn't seem to matter it was still crisp and the most flavorful chicken I have ever made. I am sure it is obvious but maybe not, I did drain off the hot oil before adding the water to the pan. Served with corn and buttered noodles. I will make this many many times, my husband raved also.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a father of four beautiful daughters. My mother taught me to cook at an early age and passed away when I was fifteen. My father then took over the cooking,when he was home,as he worked constuction and was only home on weekends. He used to ask me what I wanted for supper, taters and beans or beans and taters.LOL. That is when I had to step up and do all the cooking. My Mom taught me to can our homegrown vegatables, make pickles,pickle beans, the whole nine yards. I am now trying to pass all this tradition on to my daughters.
