Yummy, this tasted just perfect! Love the technique, and the use of pepper relish is a great addition to roasting chicken. I had made this recipe for pepper relish a while ago, so used this instead of Trader Joe's (they have discontinued the product) http://www.food.com/recipe/hot-jalapeno-pepper-relish-30819, but followed this exactly, and let me tell you, there is tons of flavor, and the chicken comes out as juicy as a watermelon in the summertime. Will use often and will even get "funky" once in a while! Made for my PAC baby 2011
