The spices seem odd to put on chicken but the result is excellent! I have made this a couple of times now. The first time I followed the recipe, but doubled the spices, using a whole roaster chicken. But I found the temperature to be too high and the oven smoked. Second time around I used the spices and omitted the garlic, but on split chicken breasts (bone-in) and cooked on 375 for 45 minutes. Yum!

I have tried so many roasted chicken recipes and this is truly the best! I never had a chicken this moist before. The spices made the kitchen smell wonderful while it was baking. My husband is a rather picky eater and does not like to eat leftovers. He loved it so much he's eaten much of the leftovers. My only deviations were substituting garlic powder for the crushed garlic. I also didn't have to cook it as long as the recipe stated. I did cook it until it reached 180 F; it's so important to monitor the temperature of the meat while it's cooking.

I am happy with this recipe because of its simplicity. The flavor was decent. I also followed the advice to double the spices…except salt, as I was avoiding over salting for someone w/ high blood pressure. I also made a delish gravy from the stuff in that little sac in the cavity. I think this is the perfect recipe to use for leftover chicken recipes as well, as the flavor is not too distinct.

Doubled the amount of spices, as others suggested. Also added carrots and potatoes. Wonderful flavor. You could tell that some spices were added, but nothing was overwhelming. It was hard to pinpoint exactly what the spices were when eating it, you just knew that it tasted great!

Wow! I would have never thought this unusual blend of ingredients would taste so good with chicken! Make it for a Bible study at our home and everyone gave it 5 stars! Will definately make again and perhaps try on turkey later this year!

I was strictly looking for cooking time and temperatures and came across this. It looked promising, so I gave it try. I took my brined bird out, seasoned it, and followed this recipe's instructions. My husband told me it was the best roasted chicken he ever had. It was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside!

I was making the chicken just to pull apart for Chicken Enchiladas, of course we had to taste it before shredding it THE BEST!!! Needless to say we had fantastic enchiladas that night and made the chicken dinner later in the week. Thank You

I have made this chicken a few times and it always gets rave reviews from everyone - even the picky eaters. I normally make a 4 lb chicken, double the spices and add an onion in the cavity like so many others based on other reviews. Tonight I made a 7 lb chicken and was concerned that it would not come out as well due to another review I read. However - it came out awesome! It fed 5 adults and 2 toddlers with nothing left over! Due to the size, I cooked it at 500 for 25 minutes, 450 for 25 minutes and 425 for about 40 - 45 minutes until it reached a 180 temp. I also added a cup of chicken broth to the roasting pan and basted about 3 - 4 times. It did get smoky so I tented it with tin foil and the combination of that and the broth kept the smoke under control. The result was a fully cooked, flavorful and moist chicken! My "dark meat only" eaters were raving about the white meat. This chicken was such a hit, I will be making it over and over and over again!

If you like a brown and crispy skin on your roast chicken, this is the method for you! This chicken was fast, easy and came out great. The meat was tender and juicy. Perfect! The garlic flavor was definitely detectable throughout the meat, so if you're not a garlic lover (like my picky kids), I'd lessen the amount of garlic.

Incredible- so easy and husband said it was the best chicken ever. I used pumpkin pie spice instead of allspice since i didnt have any. I thought the spices were crazy, couldnt believe how amazing they tasted. Also, had to add broth after fire alarm went off with smoking bird about 15 minutes in. This is a huge winner!

I really loved this recipe. The house smelled wonderful while it was cooking. My kids liked it too. My husband said it was ok...so I guess he would give it a 3 - 4 rating. The next time I make wings, I will add a batch with these spices.

This was good, not great but good. One thing I didn't do that I would do next time is to put the spices on and leave it to sit for 24 hours like the recipe suggests. I would also make sure that you rub it under the skin. The skin had a nice flavor but it didn't carry all the way through the meat. Also, it definitely does not call for enough liquid...I added 1/2 can of chicken stock to help baste it.

WOW! We were having guests over and I wanted to serve more than just a basic roasted chicken. I followed advice and doubled the spices, no allspice though. I rubbed the mixture under the skin with the garlic and marinated for the recommended 24 hours. I baked it according to directions, and it came out delicious! The left-overs made a delicious and exotically spiced chicken soup. These are my only changes: #1 Double the spices, mix with grated garlic. #2 Rub under skin, marinate for 24 hours. This is my standard baked chicken now, thanks, Indriani!

Excellent recipe. I didnt realize I was out of allspice, so I substituted with dried rosemary and pepper. I put 1 cup of water in the bottom of the pan, with quartered potatoes, celery, onions and carrots. Cooked uncovered at 400 for 30 min and then 350 for 45 min. Once the skin was crispy, I covered with foil. It was so tender and juicy. A HIT!
