First time testing this recipe i threw it all together and put it in the oven, immediately the aroma in my house was incredible! When the timer rang, i pulled the pan on chicken out of the oven and placed it on the counter. Got my carving fork and knife and began to carve the chicken. Standing there at my counter just me and the pan of chicken I practically ate half the chicken on the spot it was that good! Can’t wait to hear your feedback!
