Herbs De Provence Roast Chicken

I have a confession to make, I am terrible at roasting a chicken. This Herbs de Provence Roast Chicken turned out great. Usually, it is not cooked properly and always takes additional time, lots of additional time.

It turns out in the end but my family is starving at that point. What I usually do is stuff some fruit (orange, apple), onion and herbs inside and lay it on root vegetables. Well gone are those days now as I have a new way to roast chicken and it is fabulous!!!

It’s All About The Flavor!

I came across a wonderful store here in town called Blue Door Oil and Vinegar. They have a huge variety of over 50 quality olive oils and fine aged balsamic vinegar to choose from. These are a must in my kitchen!! Upon entering their store you are enthralled immediately with all the little stainless steel vats holding their wonderful oils and vinegar.

All of them are for sampling. They give you a little cup and some bread and off you go to find your favorites.

The owner Bruce was kind enough to give me some samples to work with. The first oil I decided to work with was Organic Herbs De Provence Infused Olive Oil. A simple application on the chicken and a homemade Herbs De Provence and we had the most delicious and easy roast chicken ever.

We all loved it!! Wonderful crispy skin with the gorgeous flavors of Provence. I won’t roast a chicken how I used to again!! Cutting up the chicken, dinner is in no time and the house smelled heavenly.

You have to try this one!! Visit Blue Door Oil and Vinegar today or order it to be shipped, you will be so very happy. You can also follow them on Facebook or Twitter.

Now here is the fabulous chicken you have been waiting for. Of course, you can buy Herbs De Provence all ready mixed up but it was fun to create!
