I loved the taste of the chicken but drippings were way to salty so next time I'll cut back a little.

Hats-off! I sliced some of garlic & slipped under skin with butter! The best "hot tub effect" That little chicky never tasted better! Drippings in rue were rich, not as fat free, but awesome!

I followed the directions to the T and it produced one awesome, tasty chicken. I would have to say it was the best roast chicken I've ever made in the oven - wasn't dry in the least - very moist and flavorful. I usually do chickens in a rotisserie, but this is a fantastic alternative if you just don't want to get the rotisserie out. Will absolutely make again!

I really enjoyed this chicken. The pan drippings were way too salty to use as is.
I had to add 1 cup water and 1/2 cup cream to mellow the saltiness. I will reduce the salt by 1/2 next time. I did use Kosher salt.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH LORRAINE.............THIS RECIPE IS EXCELLENT AS DIRECTED! FROM THE PERFECTLY ROASTED CHICKEN, TO THE TOTALLY DELICIOUSLY FLAVORED SAUCE, TO THE SOFTENED GARLIC CLOVES THAT WE ATE WITH EVERY BITE OF CHICKEN..............SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD! I CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE USE A RECIPE AND THEN CHANGE IT, AND ON TOP OF THAT, COMPLAIN ABOUT IT WITH THEIR OWN CHANGES????? THIS WAS FABULOUS AND I WILL SERVE IT AS A VERY IMPRESSIVE ENTREE TO GUESTS......BETTER GET A BIGGER CHICKEN HOWEVER!

I thought this recipe was very good. I agree with this being more a braising than a roasting recipe. I felt the pan juices were a little to salty for my liking, but the chicken was very nicely seasoned. I would either reduce the salt or not put some of the pan juices over the cooked chicken when serving. I may add more lemon in the future. Overall, it was delicious recipe.

This chicken is wonderful! Using kosher salt, the amount given is right on the money. qqqqqqqqq probably used plain table salt, as her "opinion" seems tainted by a lack of cooking ability rather than a bad recipe. "The garlic and lemon seem to clash", she stated. Hello?! Lemon and garlic are classic seasonings for chicken, and you will find this combination in hundreds of recipes. If ONE person found the combination to be "odd" in flavor, again, I must conclude that its the cook rather than the recipe that has a problem. In addition, she needs to check her oven temperature for accuracy. I found the times/temperatures given to be very accurate. Sorry you didn't like it, honey.... maybe next time you should have someone else do the cooking. This recipe is AWESOME!!!

Do not mix salt and pepper together before you season something with them. When you mix the two together then season your dish, you are not ensuring that it is seasoned evenly. You may have too much salt in one area and too much pepper in another. This is probably why the one person that reviewed this recipe stated that it was too salty. It was probably too salty on that piece. Using your fingers, season the dish evenly with salt first, and then follow it with the pepper. Do things properly and they?ll come out properly. Also, judge the seasoning as you put it on. The recipe is a guideline, not a rule. If you season by hand and realize that you?ve already seasoned the entire bird, you don?t have to use the rest just because that?s what the recipe says, use your best judgment.

Also, this is not roasting. Roasting is a dry-heat cooking method in which food is cooked in an uncovered pan without any added liquid. Roasting usually produces a crisp exterior and juicy interior. Braising is a moist-heat method of cooking: The meat, poultry or vegetable cooks in a small amount of liquid in a covered container, usually for a long time.

I made this and then used it as the basis for chicken chile verde. I cooked it in the same casserole that I roasted the chicken in, Boned it, put tomatillos in with the drippings, cooked them down, then cooked the bones for half an hour. Removed them and added pasilla chiles, jalapeno chiles, and onions, cooked them, cubed the meat, and added it. Didn't need any additional salt or garlic. It came out fantastic!
