Simply, delicious! I didn't change one thing, except add a sprig of celery to the cavity. This turned out perfectly the timing, the temp, all of it. I really liked the simple of use of just salt (kosher) and pep. here. It's just what the doctor ordered. My DH said, "This is the most wonderful chicken I've ever had!" (he's had lots!) He goes onto say, "This could be a restaurant roasted chicken". Well, there you go, Charlotte - there you go. Thanks! PRMR 2012
