This recipe relies on a clay oven, like a Romertopf. (for alternative cooking method with no clay pot, see diner524's review) The chicken stays juicy but nonetheless will get a crispy skin on the top. Recall the clay pot and lid have to be drenched in cold water for fifteen minutes before using. Try to look for an Herbes de Provence which includes lavender flowers. This really is good with steamed grain, or roasted vegies. The juices in the clay pot are great within the grain or vegies.

- 1 1 ⁄2 teaspoons herbes de provence

This really is great, 5 stars completely. You simply can't fail using the traditional clay pot. I broke the lid of mine following the chicken left the oven but such is existence and that i'll get a different one. The bird was amazingly good. It had been almost falling the bone and thus tender no knives were needed. Plenty of flavor with great gravy in the juices, This can be a keeper recipe without a doubt. Thanks Mikekey :D
Wonderful roasted chicken. I chose to make this recipe as written, except with no clay pot/cooking method. I needed to create a whole chicken, in order to have leftovers for an additional recipe, and located this recipe within our team cook book. This made probably the most scrumptious gravy all the vegetables, lemon slices and butter/plant flavor chicken juice. As it is mid summer time within Florida, so hot and damp, we roasted the chicken on the grill/covered and stored a thermometer to look out for correct temperature. Offered the chicken with mashed taters, gravy and corn, tasty. Thank you for discussing the recipe. Designed for ZWT 9.
