I've always loved roasting whole chickens and thought my recipe was the best...kosher salt, fresh herbs, lemon until I tried this one! My husband was beside himself! This is the best roast chicken recipe I have ever come across! I hope the subscriber who submitted it reads this! Absolutely fabulous! I will make it again and again. Also, delicious the next day.

This was so easy and so pretty. I've never made chicken that turned out this tasty and tender in the oven. It's better than Walmart chicken, which used to be better than mine. Thanks for sharing!
