this herbed roasted chicken really rocks.January 14, 2008By chef_x
"(I had this recipe in my cook book, not knowing that you also had one. What a coincidence?) I used rosemary, thyme, and added the outer part of the chicken with few peppercorns,,,and wedged garlic. I also used glazed it with honey. The combination of thyme and rosemary really made this recipe tasty.."
