I got this from TV. She has a new cookbook out. Anyway, I think it looks good; I'm trying it tonight. I'll let ya know!
hi,I really would like to know how the chicken turned out. I wish to try it.. Hope u respond to this. Also I like the quotes..all the best GBU from south america.
ReplyDeleteHello GBU from South America! Well, it's really good, but needs to be cooked longer than it says. I had to leave it in the oven about 15...maybe 20 more minutes. Then again, it could be my oven. Make sure you test it with a meat thermometer. Happy New Year!

Thank you, I'll be certain to keep an eye on it. I thought you had given up on the page lol. Hence I didn't check back in a while. Happy New year to you and your family as well! All my best.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I must admit I have used the comments you posted on my facebook profile. I didn't see them before and became rather fond of them, particularly the last one by Comte Georges Louis Leclerc. And yes they were a hit lol. I recently found one I think you may like and have proabably heard of, 'No one will make a lock without a key; similarly God won't give problems without solutions.'
ReplyDeleteI also found the chicken had to be cooked a good 20 minutes longer. Very tasty. I trying it tonight with a larger chicken, so will plan additional cook time.
ReplyDeleteYou put 3 T oil and I know that is what it lists on the Oprah.com website however in the instructions it states to use 2 T of oil on the chicken and 2 T of oil in the veggies. I've made this 4 times and today will make 5 and it is amazing but I have started to cook the chicken ahead of time as it does not take an hour usually if it is 4 pounds.
