“I’m not a beginner but read the entire article. Your tips and insights are most welcome as there are many good ideas included. I purposely did not send or scroll to the recipe but was ready to absorb the instructions after a full read through. Super recipe!” — a cook, 5.0★
“Excellent recipe- all steps were clear and I found the details helpful. Only differences were I let the chicken dry in fridge overnight for crispy skin and used herbed butter. Chicken was super flavorful and very juicy. Thanks for the great recipe!” — a cook, 5.0★
