    I have not made this recipe either however I am experienced in cooking a good Sunday roast. I'm Australian and we taken alot of our recipes and cooking from mother England. We would never coat our potatoes with flour. Parboiling and roughing up the surface of the potatoes definately works best.

    To be fair, I haven't made this recipe but felt the need to comment on instructions for the roast potatoes. I live in England and can assure you that no one I am aware of EVER uses flour to coat their roast potatoes. In fact, the Brits would probably be horrified at the thought! The secret to crunchy roast potatoes to parboil them just until the edges are soft, drain them, and shake them around in the pot to bash up the edges. You then heat up a good amount of vegetable oil in a roasting pan by placing it in a fairly hot oven (about 400 F for a few minutes and once the oil is good and hot, you carefully coat the potatoes in the oil and cook for about 40 minutes or until golden and crunchy. Happy cooking!

    I gave it a 4 not because it wasn't great but because I wasn't quite prepared for the totally different taste, from plain ole roasted chicken and stuffing. It has a great flavor to it, I used smoked turkey bacon instead of pork. I'm going to try the recipe again and then I will be able to give a better review. Oh, it was an easy fix, too!!!! the gravy, ummm, good.

    Chicken was great. Many flavors that came together nicely. Loved the stuffing, it was flavorful and tangy.

    Roast chicken as it should be -- try using bread and some fruit in the stuffing.
