Delicious! I don't keep celery salt and onion salt in the house - so I used a little bit of celery seed and onion powder - used the olive oil as well. Definitely will make again, all loved it!!

VERY good!! Someone suggested brushing the chicken with olive oil and that was a fantastic suggestion, made for perfect crispy skin! My entire family loved it!

Next time, I would spread the salty seasonings on the back and inside like the recipe says instead of all on the top like I did as the top was just a little too salty. I used a free-range chicken and it turned out fantastic.

Very easy and tasty! I poured a little olive oil over the chicken then topped with the seasoning. Delicious and moist!

My first whole chicken and it turned out great! I did replace the salt with garlic salt and I didn't have any onion salt so I used onion powder instead.
