I have no idea what I did wrong, but this chicken was terrible. Because so many other reviewers loved the recipe, I must missed a step. For that reason, I'm giving the chicken an average rating, although I seriously doubt that I would ever waste a chicken using this recipe again.

I found this recipe not long after we had our son (our first born) and at the time I was so tired and just didn't know how I was going to find the time or energy to make a healthy suppers for all of us SEVEN days a week! This recipe is so easy, it always turns out great, and is one of those recipes that you can add to and make substitutions in - and it will still turn out great. We have it at least twice a month once the fall comes all the way through the winter.

This was so easy to make and my family really enjoyed it! The only thing that I would change would be to add more vegetables. We couldn't get enough of the natural juices and veggies poured over the chicken. This was the second thing I have ever cooked and it was so good!

This recipe was a huge hit - I let it cook covered for about 5.5 hours and everyone said it was delicious - I also sprinkled the top with chicken boullioun

MMMmmMmMm! I Added a few more spices to the chicken & veggies (which were red potato, sweet potato, broccoli, carrots, onions, & mushrooms) It was so juicy and delicious! I basted it every 25-30 min. and cooked on 350 for about 2 hours (4.5 lb chicken). Used a 14oz can chicken broth instead of water and made a gravy with the juices! Great/healthy recipe.

Very good, however, only rating 4 stars 'cause I (like everyone else it seems) made some adjustments. I used chicken broth instead of water. Also, added a mixture of fresh garlic, onion powder and salt underneath the skin of the chicken. Tossed vegetables with onion powder and garlic powder (we like garlic and onion powder in my house) before placing in the pan. Also, rubbed chicken seasoning on the bird itself. It came out perfect! My favorite recipe yet!

Tender with so much flavor - I now grab a chicken and add whatever organic vegetables are in season, chop them up and throw them in...it's never bad! Thanks for the great information on slow-cooking a chicken!

Mmmmm. Just like Mom used to make. However, that's not 5-stars (sorry, Mom). You can use almost any hard vegetable combination. I used red bell peppers instead of carrots, 'cause I didn't have any. I also coated the chicken with an herb mixture to add some flavor. Vegetables need a way to get seasoned or else they turn out pretty bland. Otherwise, it's a typical roasted/baked chicken dish - good but nothing special.

Made this last night, and it was fantastic. Next time I will probably rub some butter and herbs UNDER the skin of the chicken, as all the stuff I put on top of the chicken came off as it baked. Also, I didn't cut up the potatos because the recipe didn't call for it, and I ended up having to nuke the potatos at the end because they weren't quite done yet.

Chicken was very tender and juicy.

This was a good, easy recipe to build on indeed. I made a few changes. I rubbed olive oil all over the chicken, and instead of salt and pepper to season, I used Seasoning Salt instead. Then I mixed up the veggies in a bowl and added some Seasoning salt and tossed it prior to adding it in the pan with the chicken. I replaced the water with 2 cups chicken stock. This turned up with lots of liquid at the end, but that's fine by us. Now, I didn't have a roasting pan, and I used my glass lasagna pan. This prolonged the cook time to 3 hours instead of 2. I used a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temp was 165F. Basting regularly is a must to keep it moist. Thank you for sharing. I'm adding this to my bi-weekly menu plan.

This has a very good flavour. The vegetables are well cooked and the chicken is very juicy. I added some oregano and thyme as well as celery and onion. I will make this again.

This was really good. I did use chicken broth (one can) instead of water. I added some other spices to the mix and it came out nice. I didn't have room in the pan for potatoes so I just made mashed. Overall it was a hit and I will make again!

This worked nice, but it needed more water than it said. I added some rosemary.

This was a good recipe. I followed the other suggestions and used the rotisserie chicken rub. I thought the chicken came out a little tough although it could have been the chicken I had.

i suggest that everyone try my take on this recipe. it was my first chicken and it was FABULOUS!!! i used this recipe along with a few ingredient changes/additions from other recipes. i rubbed olive oil on the chicken which gave it a nice crisp finish. i also stuffed the cavity with about a 1/4 cup of fresh chopped rosemary. it was my first time using rosemary and it made the flavor remarkable! the more rosemary the better as long as it is fresh. i seasoned the cavity as well as the outside of the chicken with plenty of fresh pepper, garlic powder,and salt. i used chicken broth instead of water and that gave it a lot of nice flavor and made for a great gravy in the end. i didn't use onion because my boyfriend hates it. this was the BEST chicken i have ever had. i am a new mother and this dish really made me proud.
