I have NEVER roasted a chicken – in fact I’ve never cooked a whole chicken before, but I saw this recipe on the Rachel Ray show and it looked so good I had to give it a try. I have to say, I’m disappointed…I was expecting it to be a wonderful delight but it was ho hum… but that is probably due to me and not the recipe, although I do have one comment about the recipe – it calls for artichokes but doesn’t really tell how to handle them. If you’re like me and never cooked artichokes before, then please note that you MUST cook the chokes before you put them in this recipe and that you have to cut the top of the choke off, then the tips of the leaves before you cook it. I followed the directions and found the artichokes were still very hard when the roasted chicken was ready – that is why I suggest you cook the artichokes prior to roasting with the chicken. The chicken however, was very moist and delicious.
Here’s the link to the recipe.
Hi! Fantastic web site, I really like your writing style. Very distinctive and concise. On a lot of blogs people just drone on and on, but not you – very nice. I found your site while looking for another one on Bing. I don’t have time to read everything right now, but I have bookmarked this site and will visit again very soon to see what’s new. I love reading about cooking, it is my favorite past-time. The recipes on your site are incredible. I can’t wait to try them out on my family. They think I’m crazy (and maybe they are right lol) when they see me at work in the kitchen. Click here if you’d like to check out my site. Thank you again for a really nice site. Keep up the great work!
