This produced a VERY juicy chicken! We liked that aspect very much! I forgot the paprika (oops), & used a mixture of tequila and chicken broth for the white wine (hey, where there's limes, there's tequila!). I was afraid this would ruin the juices, but it didn't--I made excellent gravy (using the apple juice option rather than the sherry option). The only thing I did differently was to cook my chicken in a Dutch oven (so I could just remove the chicken & turn everything else in the pan into gravy); and I spritzed my bird with PAM spray & dried thyme so that it would be pretty. Served with "Green Bean Stir-Fry" from this site and slices of multi-grain bread. Thanks for the recipe, I would make this one again!

Love the ingredients look up feature on allrecipes! I just happened to have thyme and limes that needed used up. Can't go wrong with a roast chicken. Yummy week night meal!

4.25 pound chicken took 2 hours & 45 minutes to reach 180 degrees. The breasts were a bit dry. I prefer other baked chicken recipes. Gave our rating an extra star because we liked the thick gravy a lot. Cut back on the chicken boullion & used sherry (dominant flavour in gravy). Probably would be good on steak as previous reviewer mentioned. I'm going to try it on pork chops.

This was okay. The chicken was moist and cooked in the correct time frame. The gravy however was very different. Mine turned out very dark in color like a beek gravy. It had an interesting taste. Not bad, just different. It would have been really good on a steak. My husband also commented that he thought it was pretty salty. I like salty so I didn't find it so. I don't know if I would make again.

Very moist and easy to make. I thought it lacked a little spice for my taste, but my husband thought it was great. Took a little longer to cook, but it looked beautiful when it came out...nice and brown! I also loved the fact that the recipe did not call for butter to save in the fat/calorie department.

This was super amazing!!! The chicken was very moist...everyone loved it. Altered the recipe just a tad bit...Added Garlic under the skin, also cut up carrots, potato, garlic around the chicken. Great with a rice, simple green salad and steamed frozed green peas.

This was delicious! I didn't have any lime, so I used lemon and I didn't make the gravy, but the chicken was perfect! I did salt and pepper it, but we're salt freaks, so it's probably not necessary. I used my probe thermometer since my chicken always takes longer to cook than everyone elses seems too! I had to carve it in the roasting pan because I could not get it out of the pan without totally wrecking it...it was falling off the bones! Very tender and juicy! Thanks!

Very juicy - we cooked it at 250 for an hour & then took the temp up to 375. Very easy.

Delicious! So moist and tender and the meat fell off the bone. I used white wine, no stock, lots of extra garlic (I think about 8 cloves total), halved an onion to put in the cavitiy, and put the whole thing in a cast iron skillet in the oven. I didn't cover it with foil and it was done right when the recipe said it would be. Yum!

Mmmmm, this was delicious. So easy to prepare, too! I made the gravy with apple juice and added a little extra chicken broth. It was delicious over the chicken. I increased the cooking time 20 minutes to get the chicken to the correct internal temperature but my chicken was just over 4 lbs.

HUBBY says: "Spice it up!" He ate a whole breast, leg, and wing, but apparently there was not enough garlic and pepper for him. HUBBY said "This would be great with cajun seasoning!" This would be a great recipe for someone with a part-time job who likes to try to do new things with poultry. Follow the time and temperature directions; if you do your chicken will be very moist. I used chicken stock instead of wine or broth, and the meat was extra savory. Prep rating: ***** Super easy! Cooking method: ***** You can't go wrong with a roasted bird. I watched an episode of LOST while it cooked. So simple. Taste: **** It could be spicier. Clean-up: *** Few dishes to wash, but cleaning a roasting pan is never fun. I will make this again, but with more PEPPER!

This is a fantastic recipe for roasted chicken. Extremely tender and juicy. I didn't have sherry, apple juice, or lime so I just did without. I also used dried thyme instead of fresh. I put the called for ingredients inside the chicken, but added a half of an onion. The juices combined with a the chicken broth the chicken cooked in made a delicious gravy. I just added flour and water to thicken. I cooked mine for the allotted time in a clay pot but did not cover it at all. The skin turned a nice golden brown. This one is a keeper!

This tasted pretty good, the meat was plenty moist. I didn't have a rack that fit in my roasting pan so I sliced up an apple and set the chicken on the apple slices. I didn't have a lime so I just used a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice instead. I roasted it per the recipe, but it took a lot longer for the meat to get to temperature; the skin was mighty dark when it was finally done. (The bird was just slightly over 3 pounds). I had to add about 3/4 cup chicken broth partway through the second half of roasting. I omitted the apple juice (used water instead) because of the apple in the pan; I will admit that the gravy was a bit sweet, but not sweet enough that I particularly disliked it. It made enough gravy for us.

I made this for dinner tonight... my first Roasted Chicken ever, and dare I say, it certainly rivaled my mother's! It was incredibly moist. I ran out of white wine to add for basting after I removed the tin foil, so I used a bit of apple cider. Delicious!

Very moist and tender chicken.I used a smaller chicken and substituted a bit of lime juice for the lime wedge. I took an idea from another garlic chicken recipe and made slits in the chicken and placed half cloves are garlic in each slit. It really added to the flavour of the chicken, especially the next day for sandwiches. I added some extra spices to the gravy because I like a lot of flavour but overall, this is a good recipe for a flavourful roast.
