  1. wow!!! We Loved it! Very easy..very delicious!!!I omitted the garlic,,actually by mistake...did everything else except sprinkled with McCormack Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning,,ran out of Belles...i like the greek flavors of lemon and a bit of oregano and lemon melted into the butter,,,my 7 lb or so roasted in about 11/2 hrs after lowering heat, Just a foolproof recipe!!!!....UPDATE<<<< I always use this recipe..for the cooking techniqueI...I recently made 2 6ib chickens as the recipe describes.. but i slathered them with a little olive oil and butter,,,sprinkled with thyme...they cooked in about 1 1/2 or so hours..always perfect.... I use different herbs for different meals....love this recipe....
     
  2. Delicious recipe Marie. We really enjoyed the roast chicken prepared this way. It was perfection, tender, juicy and very flavorful. Thank you so much for sharing yet another winner with all of us.
     
  3. IMPRESSIVE! The chicken turned out extremely juicy and very tasty.
     
  4. OUTSTANDING! Use whatever spices you want. Just jamb the cavity with the veggies. I also put two pats of butter on each side of the breast under the skin. My five and a half pounder took two hours total and a seven pounder two and a half.
     
  5. I was very impressed with this chicken. I didn't roast it though. I put it in my crockpot for 9hrs. I cut up all the veggies and stuffed it. Then put garlic and two slices of butter under the skin. Next, time when it gets cooler I will try and put in oven. I usually don't like chicken out of crockpot but this was good. Very flavorful.
