I love this recipe! The chicken is always tender and moist, and the flavor is amazing. I've tried other roasted chicken recipes, but this one is my favorite.

This was my first time roasting a chicken, and it turned out great! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the skin was crispy. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
