This makes for a good, moist and tender chicken. As Evelyn said the instructions are great and easy to follow. I only used about half of the spice mix, as I thought there was too much for a 2 1/2 lb chicken. I did however use some of it to sprinkle over my roast vegetables that I served with it, so I didn't waste too much. I'd reduce the salt slightly next time. It's okay on the chicken itself, but the amount made the onions taste too salty for my liking and I ended up not eating them because of it. Thanks for sharing. :D
