We never used this method to roast a chicken, but you can bet we'll be doing it again! Relatively easy to prepare, the skin is super crispy and keeps the chicken juicy. The combination of spices is definitely unusual and tastes just wonderful. Although the spices in this recipe may sound strange for chicken, it is so good! This is great for holidays or any day as it is easy to make and the chicken roasts beautifully!
