I used the beef broth and didn't like the way the chicken tasted because of that. It was still really good but the beef broth did give it a distinct taste my buds didn't like. Next time I will try chicken or veggie broth. The chicken was nice and juicy and the bacon really helped. I would make this again.

This was good. I really liked the bacon idea. The juices could not be used for any kind of gravy though- not very good. I stuffed the chicken with garlic and onion and it soaked up those flavors too. This is how I keep my meatloaf moist and its good to know it works on chicken too!

What a hit! Easy to make, completely delicious. I used vegetable broth instead of beef broth, but that was my only change. It was juicy, and tender. Everyone in the family loved it. I will be printing this out to keep for sure.

I normally roast my chicken, breast side down to ensure a very moist bird, however, this time I had a roast with the pop up timer. I wanted to find a recipe that would help keep the breast juicy and this really seemed to do the trick. I don't know why beef broth instead of chicken broth, but I went with the chicken as that's what I normally use anyway. Of course I used more seasonings, along with a splash of white wine. The gravy was delicious and the bird was incredibly flavorful. Thanks so much!

The best roasted chicken my family has ever had. Tender, juicy, and great flavor. Wonderful meal, I highly recommend it.

Taste is good, but I'm not sure that the bacon added too much. Maybe you need to use fattier bacon, but ours just crisped right up and didn't seem to do much basting. I may try this again once we are back in the US with the fattier bacon--until then, it won't be in our rotation.

Very good chicken. It was extremely moist and flavorful without a lot of seasoning.

This was very good-not too greasy. I forgot to rub with butter before applying the bacon. When I removed the bacon, I rubbed with butter to let it brown. Everyone enjoyed it. The breast meat was very juicy!

This recipe is great! I altered it a little bit after reading the other reviews. I used a garlic herb seasoning by McCormick on the chicken and stuffed it with an onion cut up. I also didn't use any broth. I just used a little water in the the roasting pan. It was so moist and tender. EXCELLENT

very easy and quick to prepare. I found the beef broth a little much for the chicken so I may dilute a little next time.

Great easy recipe, next time I'm going to combine it with another favorite of mine... putting orange wedges (no rind) in the cavity.

The bacon didnt add much, only grease. I think it might taste better using some italian ham or canadian bacon. But all in all it wasn't too bad.

This recipe ROCKS! THis is how my Mom makes it! It's true about the bacon basting the chicken. I haven't tried the beef broth part of it, I don't use that...but the bacon REALLY WORKS! I stuff mine with whatever i can find heading south in the fridge. Lemons, limes, carrots, apples, pinapple, parsley, onion, oranges...any combo will do as long as you stuff it! Thanks for the recipe, Rio...nice to see the tradition LIVE ON!
