I've made this recipe twice now. The first time I used butter, but otherwise followed the directions exactly. I couldn't believe how good my first roasted chicken tasted! Of course I never leave well enough alone and the second time I added several sliced cloves of garlic to the cavity and under the skin of the breast and again the chicken was amazing (My husband and I love garlic and I add it to just about everything). Thank you for making me confident that I can roast a moist, flavorful chicken too! And it was so easy for a beginner cook such as myself

My husband and I both enjoyed this recipe, but thought there was too much celery. I will make this recipe again, only try cutting the amount of celery in half. I served this with brussel sprouts and mushrooms from another recipe on this site and with egg noodles.
