  • Squeeze 3 tablespoons juice from lemons; reserve squeezed lemon halves. Combine the lemon juice, parsley, mustard, garlic, oil, rosemary, pepper, and salt in a small bowl; blend well.

  • Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the parsley mixture in a large bowl. Reserve. Gently slide fingers between the skin and meat of the chicken to loosen skin. Spoon parsley mixture between skin and meat. Secure breast skin with toothpicks, if necessary. Place lemon halves in the cavity of chicken. Place chicken on a rack in a roasting pan.

  • Bake chicken in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Arrange potatoes around the chicken; bake until chicken juices run clear, about 1 additional hour. Allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

This was not horrible just not that great. The chicken was moist but the flavour was a little dull. The potatoes were dry I had to add more oo in the midst of cooking. Maybe this would be better on the bbq. Read More

Good flavor from the herb mix. The top of the chicken was cooked at the end of cooking time but not the bottom nor the potatoes. I ended up having to cook them separately to get them both done. I think I would make this again with a few revisions on the procedure and cook the chicken directly in the pan without the rack. Thanks for the recipe! Read More

I made it without the potatoes and perhaps that's why it was a little dry. Very tasty and easy to make. Read More

I made this for dinner last night - and it was pretty good - but nothing spectacular. It's relatively impressive for a beginner I may try it again but will add a bit more Dijon. Read More

Meh. I was unimpressed with this. The chicken was nice and tender but I thought the flavors were pretty uninspired. Just so-so...and I'll likely not make it again. Read More
