It sounded so delicious when I watched the show, that I made it the next day. The chicken was fine but all the ginger and orange flavor ran out when the butter melted. I refrigerated the juices, removed the chicken fat and used the rest with a little sugar to glaze carrots the next day. So all was not lost.

I didn't have a lot of success with the broiler method but the flavor was great and my dad loved it, so I used Arti's butter mixture recipe when I roasted a whole chicken. I rubbed the butter mix under the skin on the whole bird and then rubbed the skin with olive oil. I squeezed the orange juice over the chicken and stuffed the halves inside during roasting. Basting periodically with the melted drippings gave this chicken a wonderful flavor. Arti's butter mixture is phenomenal so this is my new favorite for roast chicken.

I followed along step-by-step, but it really wasn't that flavorful :( We had company over and I was super excited, so slightly disappointed that it wasn't mind-blowing. I'll try other recipes by Aarti, hopefully packing more FLAVOR.

It was great! I don't know what the others did wrong but we all loved it. The chicken was full of flavor and it was crispy. We're not a huge fan of Chicken breasts but his dish made us love it. Will definitely cook it again.

Was there some double entendre in the previous review, I wonder.... :

I did not like this dish. NO flavor, none...absolutely.

Based on the many reviews, I did the following: Made sure that the butter mixture was evenly distributed under the skin (I think this may have been why some people said the flavor didn't go all the way through the chicken. Lightly brushed the chicken with olive oil. Used a deeper pan with rack and put some water in the bottom to keep oil from burning and quartered the red potatoes. Probably because I had water in the bottom of the pan, my chicken breasts were not as brown as I would have liked. On the other hand, the breasts I used were HUGE - butcher didn't have "airline" breasts, which I suspect are 6 ounce size. Anyhow, flavors were great for both dishes and oven not a total disaster.

This dish totally was a failure. An unsavory, bland end result!

This dish was just not worth the cleaning effort that follows.
Like one reviewer notes, the top layers had the flavor with the rest being doughy.

Only the top layer of the chicken had the flavors.
THe rest was pretty bland.
