“This is an amazing recipe. I cooked mine in my stoneware dish and it was so tender, juicy and flavorful. My family couldn’t stop raving about it. My daughter usually uses some kind of dip or hummus when she eats a rotisserie chicken. She put some on her plate” — a cook, 5.0★
“I first made this chicken at Christmas five years ago. It was the first whole chicken I had ever made. Now it’s the only recipe I use for roast dinners. I lovingly massage the butter, garlic etc into the chicken and in return we get the most delicious lemony-s” — a cook, 5.0★
