I really liked this method of cooking the chicken. It was perfectly done. However, I was not a huge fan of the spices. I will definitely make this again using the same cooking method with different spices.

I didn't like the marinade. My husband is mexican and this didn't taste anything like a mexican chicken.

Made this last night. It was delicious. My husband always wants me to bake chicken longer to brown up the skin and normally that just makes it to dry. Followed the recipe exactly, however I did double the rub and put some of the rub under the skin. It looked beautiful and tasted fantastic. It was a little time consuming to be constantly reducing the oven temp and basting, but well worth the effort. This is a keeper.

Made this last night and it was the first whole chicken for me. I have to say, I will make this again and again. First off...simple, simple,simple! Second, I doubled all spices (not sugar or salt) and marinated for 24 hrs like directed. I rubbed the spices under the skin too. It was almost done cooking when I had to leave, so my hubby turned off the oven, covered it and when we got home an hour later, it was perfect! So, with that being said, I don't know if keeping it in the oven with the oven off cooked it anymore or not. My kids just shoveled it in their mouths...no chatting or fighting like normal. ;) The house smelled wonderful to boot. This is such a great but mild flavored bird. Moist and delish! Thank you!

I did not care for this recipe. I absolutely love chicken,,and I asked my family how they liked it before I gave my opinion,,and they did not care for it either. And made it exact as recipe states.

I made this chicken last night and it was delicious! I followed the recipe but there was one problem...at the beginning of cooking while the temp was at 500 degrees, the juices burned to the bottom of the pan and smoked out our house. I added water after that and everything went well. I didn't add the water to begin with because it was not in the recipe instructions.
