Has anyone made the Juiciest Roast Chicken recipe in the Seasons Best? If so I was wondering is there enough room around the chicken to put some veggies around it to cook with it in the oven? I want to make the recipe but want to include all the veggies along with it while it cooks. Thanks for the help.:)
 
I made it the other day and my DH said that it was the best chicken i'd EVER made. I just used boneless, skinless chicken breast, but it was still VERY VERY good. I'm buying a whole chicken today and will try it again.
 
do you have to have the new cranberry piece to make it??im a newbee & dont have much what could i sub with it?? I had the rectangular backer but no lid :o(
 
No, I made it in the square baker with no lid. Turned out fine for me.
 
I always roast my chicken in the Fluted Stone - looks like a dancing chicken in the oven - but everyone tells me it tastes just like the Rotissarie (sp?) Chicken from the Deli. I cut a lemon in half - slice half of it and put it under the skin with some garlic slices, then quarter the remaining half and stick it up the chicken's u-no-where:D. Plop the chicken on the fluted stone, and sprinkle Rosemary Herb Seasoning all over it - bake it for 20-25 minutes per lb. and it is the most awesome roast chicken!
 
Yes I made the chicken in the cranberry baker. I placed a few carrotts and potatoes around it. There is very little room. The chicken was deliosious but the cooking time needed to be greatly extended.

Do you have to put something underneath to catch drips? Or does it drip through the hole? Just wondering...

There is no hole on the Fluted Stone.
 
That's right, there isn't a hole. I think it's time for me to go to bed!
