This was awesome! Best roast chicken I've ever made. After reading the reviews I added orange zest and ground up the herbs and put everything under the skin. I also used a little more chicken broth because I had a larger pan and added potatoes and carrots. I accidentally forgot the garlic but this came out so good it didn't need it.

I tried this last night and it was awesome. I just happened to have all the herbs growing outside, except for the sage, so I used (rubbed) sage powder. I used mandarin oranges because I had them on hand and needed to use them up. Like some other reviewers, I chopped the herbs and mixed them with the butter before rubbing on the chicken. Everyone loved this dish, and from now on when I roast chicken, this will be the way to go!

I grated the orange peel added it to the herbs and mashed it with softened butter then stuffed it under the skin. I put potato, carrots, small onion in the pan with chicken. I sliced some of the orange and put on top of the breast with tooth picks

I used grapeseed oil rather than butter for dietary reasons. It was a bit too "herb" and not enough "orange" for my liking.

Yep!!! Used the orange herb brine recipe that is on my profile and also used this recipe in the baking process... Wonderful for chicken, turkey or cornish game hens! You won't believe how well orange or citrus goes with poultry! Just wonderful. Orange in my opinion is the winner with lime in 2nd and lemon 3rd...

This is an excellent recipe. The chicken is extremely tender and the juice can be used in so many ways. Easy to prepare, you can give an excellent presentation at the table if you choose to serve the whole chicken that way.

This is one of my my family's absolute favorite meals! I took some of the reviewers advice and mix the herbs with the butter and then put it on the chicken breast both over and under the skin. It comes out wonderfully flavourful and everyone in the family gobbles it up! We usually have mashed potatoes with the wonderful gravy that the drippings make, and which ever veggies we happen to have on hand. Excellent addition to the site and thanks so much for sharing Nellie!

This was a great recipe! My hubby and kids loved it. I did make a few minor changes. I added some garlic, herbs and orange zest under the skin with the butter. Also, instead of 1 cup of broth, I added 1/2 cup of broth and 1/2 cup of white wine. It was really tender and full of flavor.
