Description

This roasted chicken is a timeless classic, perfect for a family meal or a special occasion. I often prepare it on Sundays, and the aroma that fills the house is simply irresistible. The crispy skin and tender flesh, flavored with herbs and garlic, make this dish a real treat. Slow cooking in the oven preserves all the flavor of the chicken. Feel free to accompany this dish with roasted potatoes or a green salad for a complete and balanced meal. A real delight to share!
