“Made a chicken roast for the first time ever and decided to use this recipe.. did not disappoint at all!😍 this is by far the best roast chicken I’ve ever had. So tender and juicy and full of flavour. Amazing” — a cook, 5.0★
“10/10 recommend! Wow! Flavor bomb. Put it over a deeper roasting pan and added parsnips, carrots and sliced onions on the bottom so they soaked up all the juices. Winner winner chicken dinner!!” — a cook, 5.0★
