Really enjoyed this recipe. The chicken was moist and flavorful. Next time, I'll try adding some potatoes to roast alongside it for a complete meal.

Good, but nothing extraordinary. It's a solid roasted chicken recipe, but I've had better. Maybe a little more seasoning would help.

Hannah Rodriguez2

The chicken was a bit dry, even though I followed the instructions. I think my oven might run a bit hot. The flavor was good, though.

Fiona Wilson3

It was okay. The chicken was cooked well, but I'm not sure the flavor profile was my favorite. I might try tweaking the herb mix next time.

Absolutely delicious! The chicken was so juicy and the skin was perfectly crispy. The lemon and herb flavors were amazing. I made it for a dinner party and everyone raved about it!
