Made this for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit. I did bake the potatoes as suggested by some, and I also added some nutmeg, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice to the potatoes. I also used mostly brown sugar very little granulated sugar. I was asked to make it for future dinners with the family. This is a definite keeper for sure.

Made this with hot salsa and the black beans. I also added celery and green onions along with some crushed red pepper flakes for a little more zing. It was very good and easy will absolutely make it again.

This was pretty good. I didn't have the celery, so I used lemon wedges and two bay leaves inside the bird. I also used the garlic powder instead of the onion powder, plus I sprinkled the outside with some paprika. I had to bake the chicken a little longer, since it was a larger bird. All in all not bad, will probably make again with a little tweaking.
