Such a simple recipe but oh sooooo good! I used a happy (organic, free range) 4 pound chicken and increased the heat a bit to 460F. I didn't even baste or use the butter, thyme or Dijon. The skin was so crispy and the meat so flavourful and juicy...I was just delighted with the outcome. Who knew?! Sometimes it's just the simple things...
Only one drawback - The oven started out clean and was unbelievably dirty after the chicken was done. I will make this again but not without a self-cleaning oven. Definitely won't plan to use the oven right after making this recipe...
