Friday's Recipe

I love a good roasted chicken but sometimes find it hard not to dry it out. I searched the internet to find the best sounding recipe with good reviews and came across Emeril Lagasse's perfect chicken & decided to give it a try.

Perfect Roast Chicken



It was very moist & the vegetables had a delicious flavor. It's definitely a keeper. I cooked it at 425 for 1 1/2 hours & it was perfect....ENJOY & HAPPY ROASTING...
