“This was just about the most delicious chicken I've ever had! The only adjustment I made was because I didn't have any ground fennel seed, I used 1 teaspoon of cumin. I also did not have any fresh thyme,, but I did have dried thyme. And you're right, the aroma” — a cook, 5.0★
“Just made this today, can't believe it actually is as perfectly done, flavorful, and easy as described. Have tried various techniques for roast chicken, and none ever deliver as well as this! Thank you so very much for sharing it! Loved the fennel and thyme, t” — a cook, 5.0★
