This is now my go-to roast chicken recipe. I always use lots of fresh herbs if I have them!

this was really good, and for my first attempt at roasting a whole chicken, I was very pleased!

I made this last night using a 6.5 lb turkey breast. Turned out great!

I made this last weekend, never having roasted a chicken before. It’s a fantastic recipe and turned out deliciously! I have lots of fresh herbs and I used sage and thyme.

Fantastic! Used some additional spices and threw some red potatoes in the baking dish to cook for the las 45 minutes, both were delicious!

Used this recipe the other night. Turned out wonderfully. Didn’t have the lemon, cloves, or garlic to add, so poured 1/2 bottle of beer into roasting dish. Fabulous! Used the broth and leftover chicken the next day for chicken and dumplings. Will never bake another chicken without brining first. Makes a real difference.

I made this recipe for tonight’s dinner and it was wonderful! I describe myself truthfully as a “Can’t cook worth a darn” chef, so don’t let the multiple steps intimidate you. Taking the time to brine the chicken is worth it!
Thanks for sharing this recipe. Definitely a keeper!

This sounds delicious! I’ve never brined a chicken before roasting but I think you’ve inspired me.
