I'm not sure if I can hold my head up high as I write this. I could feel my cheeks slightly flushed with embarrassment. It's true. I have never attempted roasting a chicken since I started cooking years ago. It's one of those tasks that seems huge and too much work to me. I think I used to assume that anything that takes more than 30 minutes to cook must be hard.
But you will not laugh at me... will you?
Roasted Chicken with Herb and Lemon Stuffing (serves around 5-6)

Congrats on your first roasted chicken! I bet we will be seeing more from you. ;)
your first attempt- seriously, it looks like you have done it forever- it looks perfectly cooked and just gorgeous
Roasting a chicken gets easier - you're right it might seem a bit daunting but it really isn't!
I am sure the herd lemon stuffings add a wonderful flavor to this roast bird. First time success? That doesn't happen to me very often hehe. Congrats.
It took a LONG time for me to roast a chicken as well...it's kind of an unnerving process! The lemon stuffing must make it super delicious, though!
I would love to try this out too. Have not try stuffed chicken before.
this is my typical weekend meal, lazy to work with wok and fire, i like to just roast chicken over weekend..Glad you have discovered this great idea..
oh, will never laugh at you! dont you just love roasting now? using mixed herbs is a delicious idea, my simplest version of roasted chicken is just rub some salt onto the chicken and roast them!
