    Hello everyone Hey! The recipe is so, so good! I was looking for an express recipe and I found one that was so tasty that I added it to the list for future roasted chicken. You should try it; you won't regret it. Just one thing: I didn't use mustard, but it was still amazing!

    So, to be completely honest, I am quite picky about flavors, and when I looked at this recipe and read the reviews, it made me want to try it, but I didn't really believe in it. The lemon, the herbs, the garlic—I had already tried this kind of seasoning. Fairly good, but nothing extraordinary either. When the taste of garlic comes through too much, I'm not a fan, and as for mustard, it didn’t really inspire me! But I thought I would follow the recipe exactly and see what happens, as the enthusiasm in the comments was very persuasive! I used high-quality chicken, of course. But wow! This recipe more than delivers on its promises! It delights you, treats you, and while tasting it, you think, I will never roast chicken any other way! It’s absolutely perfect; nothing stands out too much, and the balance of flavors is just sublime. I was worried about an overpowering garlic taste, but not at all—everything is in harmony! As for the crispness of the skin, I had never managed to achieve that! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside—just sublime. You are crowned the queen of roasted chicken, without a spit.... Thank you!

    I made this recipe. I just changed the cooking method. My oven has a rotisserie, so I cooked the chicken on the spit. I let the potatoes cook in the pan below. I had to add about 75 cl of water during the cooking process. Nevertheless, my whole family loved it!

    Made this for Sunday lunch = Divine... I only used thyme because I didn't have any bay leaves, we don't like garlic so I put half a shallot in the chicken (free-range) and organic lemon. I cut potatoes into wedges and placed them in the dish with the chicken, all soaked in the excellent sauce. We enjoyed it... Thank you for this superb recipe.
