“Thank you for sharing your slow-roast chicken wisdom... I must've perused 50 websites before I got here, and I'm so glad I didn't give up! Everyone else seems to think a chicken is always 3 lb, and 350 is a low-and-slow roasting temperature. I used your gui” — a cook, 5.0★
“They really liked it, I didn't have a lemon but I have lemon grass and dried lemon peel. He said it had a great taste of lemon, I put ½ tsp each in an herb ball and soaked it for a few minutes with 2 TBLS of boiled water. I put the ball in the cavity w/o onion” — a cook, 5.0★
