Simple Whole Roasted Chicken
48
INDRIANI
"The combination of unique ingredients make this chicken dish delicious. It roasts beautifully and is surprisingly fast once it's in the oven. I serve this with the Chimichurri Sauce I found on Allrecipes, and I can't get enough! Plus the leftovers are fantastic for sandwiches, salads, and Mexican dishes."

It was a standard roasted chicken, but I wasn't really a fan of the spices. I saw other reviews that shared my concern for the spices, but they said the chicken turned out great. So I gave it ...

The savory aroma of the cooking chicken didn't disappoint the eater. My husband loved this roasted chicken. I doubled the spices as other reviewers recommended. I didn't marinade overnight......

WOW! We were having guests over and I wanted to serve more than just a basic roasted chicken. I followed advice and doubled the spices, no allspice though. I rubbed the mixture under the skin ...

I didn't have allspice and put the seasoning under the skin since we are non skin eaters. Otherwise I made this as written- YUM! It was moist and delicious. I had hoped for leftovers- but my ...

I have made this over and over again just like the recipe, and it is always delicious. I was a little leary at first because it seems to be a strange mixture of spices, but once I tried it, I'm...
