My family ate this chicken like it was going out of style. The few modifications I made- I added crushed red pepper to the potato mix. After I put the chicken on the baking pan, I lightly drizzled the leftover butter over the pieces of chicken then spooned the leftover potato mixture over the entire pan. While it cooked, the potato mixture on the bottom of the pan absorbed any extra melted butter/chicken fat/etc. The chicken turned out beautifully. Great color, juicy, lightly crisp outer layer. Will make again for sure. Next time I will add Mrs. Dash to the potato mix as well, I was out this time.

I made this dish last night for dinner, but I modified it a bit. I rubbed the chicken with butter and lemon juice on the outside, then I followed it with Mrs. Dash. I also rubbed the insides with Mrs. Dash before inserting the cut lemons. After the chicken was ready, I added about 2 cups of water to the pan, and followed it with about 3 cups of instant rice. While the chicken cooked, the rice cooked. The juices & lemon from the chicken seasoned the rice. I covered it with foil and let it cook for two hours (it was a smaller chicken). The last fifteen minutes I took off the foil and let it broil to just crisp the outer layer of skin. Last minute mix the rice, and you're set to carve the chicken. A whole dinner made in one dish. Great recipe. Would make again. Family loved it.

I make this dish often for my family, but I add one 12oz. bottle of beer to the crock pot - it adds flavor and helps keep it tender & juicy.
