“This recipe is an absolute winner! The flavors and aromas are tantalizingly good. I also did not have fresh thyme so I used a fraction of the dried herb. I also like a little punch so I added some heat with a little cayenne so as to not change the flavor prof” — a cook, 5.0★
“This was amazing. I added little more seasoning (thyme and kosher salt) once it was on the tray. We ate the whole chicken in one sitting it was that good. :) Kosher salt was soooo much better than table.” — a cook, 5.0★
