This chicken is WONDERFUL!!<br /><br />You can also try paprika, chili powders or just about anything you like. <br /><br />It can take on various flavors nicely.Good Things by Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582570273008694707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899947061109303715.post-84393631392642839262014-08-26T10:50:40.523-04:002014-08-26T10:50:40.523-04:00This looks awesome!

What other spices have you tried with this? The mustard sounds really good too.Reynaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15598206024345167330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899947061109303715.post-7797944983356343602014-08-18T21:06:34.089-04:002014-08-18T21:06:34.089-04:00I'll give the mustard a try sometime but first...I'll give the mustard a try sometime but first I'll try the recipe you posted.

If I'm in the mood, I give the lemon a good squeeze over the chicken before I stuff it in the cavity.<br /><br />As for the mustard: replace the butter with equal parts dijon mustard, rubbing it under the skin & all over the top. I only pepper the chicken because the mustard is pretty salty already (maybe drizzle a little bit of olive over the smothered chicken). Voila!<br /><br />Keep in mind though, if you're thinking of saving the carcass for chicken stock, omit the mustard or heavy spices, as this can greatly affect the flavor of your stock.<br /><br />Try it.Good Things by Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582570273008694707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899947061109303715.post-80172269725239916282014-08-16T21:44:53.568-04:002014-08-16T21:44:53.568-04:00Okay, now I have a hankering for a roasted chicken...Okay, now I have a hankering for a roasted chicken; something I haven't made in a while. I usually put a lemon in the cavity but I cut it in quarters. Why the piercing, David? I'm intrigued. How do you smother a whole bird in mustard?

What's nice is that you can always alter the recipe by adding spices or other herbs to suit your tastes. I've even smothered a whole bird in mustard, which is out of this world!<br /><br />Enjoy!Good Things by Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582570273008694707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899947061109303715.post-24570472540266564762014-08-16T14:21:07.687-04:002014-08-16T14:21:07.687-04:00Hi David,
I'm not going to say much this time...Hi David,<br /><br />I'm not going to say much this time. You never cease to amaze me. Amaze me!!! I've been wanting to make roast chicken, but because it's so cheap to buy, yes at Sam's ($4.88 here in St. Louis) I have put the endeavor on the back burner. I am always inspired by your writing and sharing and now will put this back on the fall/winter to do list for the family. Perhaps I should make up to 3 for our family. I loved seeing the pic of the bird sitting on onion slices. I can eat onions almost any time and garlic too. I now grow all of that. <br /><br />Thanks for AGAIN inspiring me. I have yet to make your egg salad, carrot cake, your birthday dinner, and so much more. I am looking forward to all of the above. It's truly amazing that I am only a wee bit heavier that I should be because of my love of good food. Thank God I cook and rarely eat out!<br /><br />John P.<br />J.P.noreply@blogger.com
