I just made this for Christmas and it was the best chicken ever. I’ve started buying local organic free-range chickens and I never really cooked whole chickens before so my boyfriend has been doing intense research on brining vs nonbrining, slow cooking, etc (basically dorking out). But butter, lemon and garlic are – to my mind – the best possible flavorings for pretty much anything. Even better were the potatoes. Oh my god, the potatoes! I peeled a head of garlic and tossed it in with two potatoes cubed (will make more next time, but I didn’t expect them to steal the show) and both crisped up so we had like, garlic fries and crispy potato chicken fat delicious thingies. Thank you so much for a simple yet awesome recipe.

Thomas – nope. Seen it all over the blogs, but never tried it myself.

have you ever tried roasting chicken with a beer can? no basting, comes out moist and tender. Would go good with your mix of seasonings.

So glad to hear you’re back home…I’m not going to ask you questions as I know your e-mail is piled up as it is…but glad to hear you LOVE Argentina! I haven’t been there in ages, need to go back. I would probably like to cook more if I wasn’t so structured and time-oriented – I am always judging time against what else I could/should be doing that’s more valuable (although eating is pretty valuable haha) – that’s why I look for easy & quick recipes. Plus, it’s not very encouraging that many times when I do decide to cook things don’t come out good!) ANYWAY – stay healthy, and I will be back to try more of your awesome recipes.

Claudinam – I’m so glad you found recipes that you like!! I have a hard time believing that you don’t like to cook. It sounds like you are a PRO! Rock on :) And by the way, I *love* Argentina. The food there is amazing!
