A Bird in the Oven and Then Some: 20 Ways to Roast the Perfect Chicken Plus 80 Delectable Recipes

By Mindy Fox
Kyle Books - 2010

This was good, but I felt like it needed another layer of flavor to make it great. Maybe a splash of balsamic or white wine, or some fresh thyme and parsley? I did use the parmigiano reggiano rind in the stock, and I think that helped. I also needed to add a lot more water while it was cooking---maybe double the amount called for---and, in turn, had to adjust the seasonings. This will be fine for lunches this week, but not a recipe I would repeat or highly recommend.

My husband prepared this for dinner, and it turned out great. The skin was perfectly crispy, and the meat was nice and moist. It's a very beautiful dish, too.

The seasonings were very tasty, although the breast pieces were just a tad bit dry. The dark meat was perfect. I'd probably take the breast pieces out about 10 minutes before everything else to ensure even cooking. I'd definitely make this recipe again.
